What people are saying about Veneto

We had a wonderful time at this workshop! It truly is a must for everyone who wants to experience Venice differently and do something unique while there. The atmosphere in the workshop, as well as the whole experience, was extremely relaxing and enjoyable. The tutors were very kind and patient with us. We were pleasantly surprised with the finished masks despite the fact that we have no artistic talent whatsoever. One thing I would have appreciated would be a bit information on the background or history of mask-making (since I understood from the description of the activity that this should also have been included).

Well I have to take my hat off to Barbara she really immersed us in the Vancian culture. We had such a great time making pasta and listening to her reminisce when she was a little girl with her mum being taught how to make it and passing that good knowledge on to us how we miss that in todays society. We shared our experience with 4 other guests from around the world USA & Portugal it was great to meet them as well. An opportunity not to be missed.

All in all a great tour. The guide seemed to enjoy it. She spoke loud and clear, and her stories were very interesting, varying between gruesome urban legends and historical facts. Don't let the title fool you, the tour does not only contain Rialto and St. Marco but (and most importantly) a lot of small streets in between. I can definitely recommend this Tour.

All the family loved this scavenger hunt. It was fun looking for the clues….up high or looking for Italian letters, spot the differences.

My son and I joined the cooking class and it was a lot of fun! We will be talking about it for years to come.
