“Unforgettable James Bond Experience in Venice”
We booked the James Bond Moonraker tour in Venice with Al, and it was truly the highlight of our trip. From the very first moment, Al’s enthusiasm, deep knowledge of both Bond films and Venetian history, and his engaging storytelling made the tour unforgettable. He brought the movie scenes to life right in front of us, pointing out filming locations, sharing fascinating behind-the-scenes facts, and weaving them together with anecdotes about the city’s culture and architecture. Al was patient and adapted the pace perfectly for us. His passion for the subject is contagious, and his friendly personality made it feel more like being shown around by an old friend than by a guide. If you’re a Bond fan—or simply want to see Venice from a unique and exciting perspective—this tour with Al is an absolute must. Highly recommended!

Raghda A.
My name is Raghda. I have been working as a local Guide in Venice for almost 2 years, taking clients on walking tours on the historic island. I am passionate about meeting people from all around the world and exchanging stories and experiences. I have lived in Venice since 2020 so I have built up quite a decent knowledge about the city and its sights. In the beginning, I was showing around friends and family who came to visit, then I realized that I have gained pretty decent information to start doing this as a job because it has become exciting to rediscover sights and even build up more knowledge as time goes by. I enjoy interacting with different cultures and nationalities. I have lived and worked in several countries like Latvia, Poland, Spain, Turkey, Germany, Malta, and different cities in Italy as well. I will be taking you around the various districts of Venice exploring hidden gems and mysterious locations, as well as the main attractions and highlights of the city. I will be your GPS & storyteller for the unforgettable hours of concise yet enriched and detailed visit to the historical island. We will go around various districts of Venice and tell stories about churches and historical sites. By the end of the tour, I could suggest good restaurants in various districts.

Riccardo R.
Hi, I'm Riccardo, born in the USA and raised in Italy. I specialize in wine tastings, a passion I've pursued for nearly ten years. As a certified sommelier with the Italian Sommelier Association, I curate wine tastings featuring Prosecco, Amarone Valpolicella and Soave. My tours stand out because they are always private and I exclusively select family-run wineries. We'll never rush. My motto is "Drink well, to live well"

Roberto V.
Hello everyone! My name is Roberto and I am ready to be your host and go with you to discover the very true side of Venice. I was born, raised up and living in Venice since 1957.... I have been knowing and loving Venice for more than half a century now. After being a concierge in the most famous hotels in Venice, I went for a change and took my licenses for both tour leader and environmental guide. I will certainly be able to show you how we live in Venice now and how we used to live in Venice some years ago...well, yes, I am old enough to do it! I am a true Venetian and I have a sort of warranty certificate for this... I mean for being a true Venetian. Because the family was a well known noble family in Venice that also gave Venice a doge...and who was the doge? Ehiiiiiii I cannot tell you everything now! Book a tour with me and you’ll discover!
