  Great tour of Murano & Burano - We had a phenomenal day with TourLeader Venice during our trip in late October. On the first day, Igor met us at the airport for a private water taxi tour... read more straight to our Air BnB. It was a very informative introduction to the city and really the only way to arrive! Two days later, he met us at our Air BnB for a full day tour of Murano and Burano. There is no way we could have conquered both islands so efficiently without him and the water taxi. Not having to wait in very long lines for transportation allowed us extra time to enjoy the glass blowing factory, small shops and museums displaying all of the glass, walking tours of both islands, a relaxed lunch with people watching in Burano, and a great tour of the farm area. While we were on the boat for a lot of it, we definitely got our steps in and learned SO much about the city in a very interesting way that we never would have gotten without Igor!

  We requested a private tour because we have a 2-year-old toddler daughter and needed good spacing. Igor's tour was excellent, he was very patient with our daughter, he was willing... read more to roll with the punches when one of us had to take our little one to the side when she was upset, he took us to the perfect number of places, all around great.

I can't recommend him enough.

  Igor is one of the best tour guides I have ever met. He has a vast knowledge of Venetian history. Also he knows where all the best places to get... read more cicchetti are and he is friends with all the people who work in those places. I couldn't recommend a better guide for any tour you want to do in Venice or the Veneto region.

  I watched Igor doing walking tours of Venice virtually after the pandemic. He was such a great guide, very informative and with a great sense of humor that when... read more I visited Venice in May of 2022 I had to have him show me around. Igor guided us through Venice as though we were family. I felt like when I went out on my own on other days I knew just where I was going. We were able to ask him anything and he knew the story. He made sure we knew if we needed him during our stay that he would help us with anything. I would recommend Igor if you plan on visiting Venice. Don't think that you can do you own thing and see it all. Trust me when I say Igor will take you to places you wouldn't think to go as well tell you some great stories to let you feel you are part of the Venice family. Thank you Igor.

  I joined Igor on several virtual tours before our scheduled cruise that ended in Venice. He was full of information on those tours and was a lot of fun as... read more well. On the virtual tours, he offered to answer any questions we had and help us in any way. I reached out to him and he was responsive and so helpful with finding a VRBO in a good location and making other suggestions for my trip with my granddaughter. I thought it would be very helpful for us to meet with Igor when we arrived in Venice to help us get oriented and give us some confidence for navigating that very beautiful, but confusing city. We had a delightful and informative private tour. I highly recommend his services.

  We spent a few hours on a walking tour in Venice with Igor. He tailored the tour for us and we saw places in Venice most tourists never see. Igor... read more is a really fun and knowledgeable guide. We had a great experience and highly recommend contacting him if you are looking for an authentic local guide in Venice.

  We LOVED our tour with Igor. I feel like we got to learn about all the secrets of Venice (or at least a good number of them) while we were... read more with him. Our two kids, ages 7 and 9, listened intently to Igor during the entire tour which shows how Igor has a wonderful way of engaging all ages. Whenever we get back to Venice (fingers crossed that we do), going on another tour with Igor will be the first thing we do!!

  Highly recommend Treviso Car Service
From pick up from Marco Polo to Trieste back to Venice was a great experience. No worries at all. Pleasant drivers and water taxi driver.... read more One water taxi driver wasn’t all that but the second one was very good.
I will use this car service again when in Venice.

  Really the best guide you can possibly have! Igor was kind knowledgeable and always professional with all of us

  100% Recommend! Definitely do Igor's tour on your first days in Venice to get an overall layout of the land and explanation of how things work. He even pointed out... read more 2€ Spritz which for me was worth the whole value of the tour price alone.

Friendly, knowledgeable and knows alot of people in Venice so he's well connected. He even got my girlfriend and I in touch with a local glass blower and now we have a friend for life. Thanks for everything Igor. You made our Venice trip truly a memorable one! Grazie Mille!

  My mother and I did 3 tours in October/ Nov 2019 with Tour Leader Venice - Doge’s Palace with Igor, 1/2 day Treviso with Igor’s wife and full day countryside.... read more All 3 were great and worth doing.

  My husband and I have gone on so many tours (mostly private) and this tour with Igor was one of the best! He was experienced; friendly/funny; took us to... read more off-the-beaten path areas of Venice; Reasonably priced (especially for such an exceptional tour!); His English was perfect.
Igor met us at the Cruise Ship Terminal and arranged for a private boat to take us to Murano, Burano & Mazzorbo. Once we returned from these islands, we walked all throughout Venice, avoiding very crowded areas which made it so special. If our travel plans bring us back to Venice or if friends or relatives are planning to go there, we will certainly encourage them to contact Igor with Tour Leader Venice!!

  This was our second tour with Igor. Our first was in 2013. We kept in touch with Igor over the years and referred other friends that enjoyed his tours. We... read more return in 2019 it was an easy decision who to use again.
We didn't get to see Murano and Burano on our last visit so this was a good chance. Igor met us and spend the day showing us around. He also helped booking other activities.

We plan to return to the region again for another tour with Igor.
