Raphael Tours & Events - Guided Tours and Experiences

We started off our trip with this walking tour and what a great experience. Mattia gave us a great tour,facts and history about Trasteve. He was super friendly. The food that they share with us was all top notch and food was enough. My daughter even had seconds at the pizza place. Bruno was also on our tour and he was also very nice. Would definitely recommend as he went back to some of the places they showed us. Thanks for this great experience Mattia and Bruno.

Our tour ended up being cancelled, they contacted us the day before and worked with our schedule to book is on another your which worked out great! We ended up getting lost on the way to the tour meeting spot and they waited for us, I texted them and Martina kept texting me back right away to make sure we made it. She had us meet them at the first stop on the tour. The tour lasted just over 2 hours and we learned about more than just food. We learned about food and wine history in Venice! Denys our guide was Awesome!! I am very picky eater and he got me other options to choose from when we sampling food on our tour, I thought was so nice of him. When we come back to Italy we will definitely book more tours with this company!!!

Mattia is a great guy. And we sincerely appreciated his kindness, the passion he demonstrates to joyfully share his deepest experience of a town, and a country, that has so much to share. Our experience in general has been wonderful. Rome is really amazing. And the experience we lived with Mattia, was one of the most memorable. It's really appreciable to feel treated with respect and not like some random tourist. And we never felt that tourist despise we experienced in so many other places. If I had to come back, I will definitely do, I'd certainly try to live another experience of that kind. I'm deeply grateful for your kindness Mattia. And remember that Victor and Mathilde, from Corsica, we're amazed by that foody experience with you. Once again, thank you.

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Valentina. She showed us so many things in Venice that most tourists would never see. (And lots of useful words we will never forget!) 🤣Valentina made the tour so much fun, nothing was too much trouble, even when we wanted to deviate from the planned tour. If you want to see the real Venice, we highly recommend this private tour with the loveliest guide we have ever had. Grazie mille🥰

My sister and I had fun on this street food tour. It was easy to find our guide who was friendly and knowledgeable. From start to finish all the food we tasted was delicious. We really enjoyed learning about the history of the areas we passed through too. Honestly, we would not have visited this part of the city without this tour. This is a great introduction to Rome and its cuisine.

Portofino was so beautiful and our guide Fulvio was great! We decided to stay in Portofino and skip Santa Margherita because of a storm that hit. Transportation back and forth would have been a challenge, and we needed to get back to our cruise ship. Fulvio went with the flow, and got us a quick reservation at a restaurant to eat lunch at and take a break from the rain. Even with the unfortunate weather, we had a wonderful time!

Grateful to Valentina for being our fiamily's wonderful guide in Venice! Kind and gentle with all the group but especially to my kids in this excellent organised walking tour. We visited Venice 's best spots and Valentina made us feel like "home". Valentina combines a perfect historic knowledge of the city as a true Venitian, fine manners and humour. She also suggested excellent places to eat, drink and have fun in our leisure time in Venice. Thank you so much!

Early Morning Tour of Rome with Beatrice. I just wanted to share some feedback about my walking tour this morning with Beatrice. She was absolutely incredible — so knowledgeable, patient, and attentive in explaining the beautiful buildings and history. She even took me to a wonderful coffee spot, made sure I had a lovely breakfast, and kindly covered a banana for me when I didn’t have change. She truly went above and beyond to make my experience special, and I’m so grateful for her thoughtfulness and professionalism. Beatrice was the perfect guide to end my time in Italy, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.
