Hello Lisa,
My wife and I along with her two sisters and their husbands are visiting Italy in October 2024. I heard you recently on Rick Steves Radio Program. Do you do private tours of Venice. We plan on spending three days there at the start of our vacation. We would like to see the usual sights, plus a few others. Stanley Tucci has a program on CNN about food in the different regions of Italy. Among the places he visited in Venice was a winery on the Island of Mazzorbo. He went to the Venissa Winery there. We would like to visit it. I would like to visit Harry’s Bar. As you probably know, it was a favorite hangout of Ernest Hemingway.
If you can do this tour, please let me know. If not, can you recommend another tour guide?
Thank you for your consideration! Have a great day!
Saluti,
John Palmer
Hi John,
Thanks for your message. I am fully booked next September but I would try talking with Elena Zampiron. She was also interviewed in the same episode, lives in Venice and guides locally. https://elenazampiron.com/
Have a wonderful time in Venice.
All My Best,
Lisa
