Took the tour titled Venice in One Glorious Day (or two).  Lucky to have Jennifer for the first and third tour segments.  She was funny, very knowledgeable, agile and a great tour guide all around.  The gondola ride and walking tour were great.  The guide (Ziggy) was very knowledgeable and had a technical knowledge, but her communication skills were not...

They were the best because they were led by women who not only spoke perfect English, they were overflowing with information and History about... More

Visited my son in Florence October 2009, while he was an abroad student. We decided to take a trip to Tuscany, and used Artviva after reading several reviews. Artviva did not disappoint. This was a small group, worth every euro/$. Started out at main office in center city Florence. Visited San G, and another town (cannot remember name!), then went... More
