“A highlight of our trip!” tripadvisor | Venice Day Trips

Rewieved September 3, 2022

Mario was there to greet us right on time. As wine enthusiasts, we were excited and even more to find out he is a Sommelier! On the drive out to the Valpolicella region, we learned so much more about wine, Italy and his life. He is not only knowledgeable, but friendly and easy to be around… Read Review

I learned of Rachel/Venice Day Trips via a lockdown Zoom about Venice Apperitivos and decided that if she could be that fun from her kitchen 5000 miles away, I would love to have that experience in person. Fast forward a year, we booked the aperitivo tour before the start of a 10-day cruise… Read Review

Mario is a superstar. My wife and I, based on a recommendation from a wine expert we trust, contacted Mario at Venice Day Trips. We worked together to customize an itinerary that exposed us to some wines we were less familiar with as well as some of our favorites. Mario has a superb knowledge of Italian wine… Read Review

Rachel is amazing! She met us at the train station and took us on an interesting and fun tour of Padua. Rachel is very knowledgeable and is eager to share all that she knows of Padua! We took a 3 hour walking tour of the city and visited all the major sights including the terrific food markets. Along the way we sampled great cheese and a piece of fruit. Rachel was extremely informative. When we told her we were staying by the Rialto Bridge in Venice she… Read Review

“Best guided tours we’ve ever done! Mario & Rachel are the best guides in Italy!” tripadvisor | Venice Day Trips

Rewieved August 27, 2015

We booked 3 tours with Venice Day Trips: 2 full days and 1 half day. We stayed in Venice and Rachel met us for the morning for our Fundamentals of Italian course. What she taught us was extremely helpful during our 10 day stay in Venice. However, my favorite part of that day was being introduced to Spritz & The wine & Cicchetti Bars! Rachel gave us a walking tour from our hotel to the Rialto Bridge… Read Review

“Unforgettable tour of Valpolicella Wine Region with a kind and knowledgable sommelier!” tripadvisor | Venice Day Trips

Rewieved September 18, 2016

My boyfriend loves amarone wine, which only comes from the Valpolicella wine region of Italy. He wanted to explore some of the amarone wine makers, but didn’t know how to do it on his own so he found Mario. My boyfriend said Mario had great reviews, but the reviews did not do justice to the fun, informative, and well planned day Mario… Read Review
