Erika made it possible for us to see an artisan make a glass plate in a furnace at a factory, and to see a different artisan make glass art using a blowtorch. We had a whole tour of the factory and the production process. We had been to Murano before, but seeing it with a guide like Erika was much more informative and fun. We recommend her highly.

Erika is one of the best guides we have had in our many years of using Context. In addition to discussing the architecture and the impact of trading on the architecture, she had lots of insights into how people lived in Venice in the past. For example, she described the use of the platforms on roofs for butchering or cooking. The platforms still remain on some buildings and have very different uses today. She is exceptional.

Matteo was terrific! Very knowledgeable, personable and was quick to understand our interest so it was indeed a personal tour. Would highly recommend him for tours
