Customer reviews of tours in Italy

The best and most beautiful tour we did in Venice. It was very nice to see a lot more and something outside of Venice. The guide spoke English, but you could understand everything very well.

Wonderful experience! The weather was not the best for us, but Tomazzo was communicative with us about the likelihood of the excursion. Once we were on the water, Tomazzo served us Prosecco and told us much about Venetian history and culture. Though the water was choppy from the storm, our spirits were high as he guided us masterfully through the tour. 10/10 recommend.

Great tour with our guide Tomaso. Lots of exciting information. Thank you for the wonderful time.

Romantic quiet relaxed atmosphere. A slightly different perspective of the wonderful landscape of Venice and the surrounding islands. Beautiful sunset. Nice informative boat trip in the evening. Definitely enough Prosecco; D.

Interesting tour to learn a little about the geography and history of Venice. The sunset photos were also very nice.

My family and I had the great pleasure of being guided by Tomosa on his classic Venetian styled boat. Honestly, it wasn’t the boat, the possible sunset, or anything else that made the trip it was Tomosa. Hands down an exceptionally smart, humorous, and well spoken skipper. My husband and I enjoyed his stories and wit so much that we almost had to be reminded to take pictures. He was organized by explaining to us what we were doing, where we were going and when we would do certain things. I found him to be considerate of our elderly group member to ensure she made it into the boat safely. We just had such a great time with him and learning some of Venice’s history. My husband and I love naval history and seeing Venice from this perspective was so much fun. We drank Prosecco, the whole bottle. I would highly recommend take a cruise with him, sunset, no sunset… it’s still an absolute blast to talk to him and hear all the wonderful historical stories.

Lots of insights in a picturesque setting. However, with several people, which somewhat reduced the intended romance.

A great welcome from our guide Thomas who really amused us with in addition really full of interesting details.a Venice seen differently. I, who am not very good at English, understood our guide quite easily who speaks very well and gently enough I find

A wonderful moment with Tommaso full of humor and exciting with his tasty anecdotes.

Our guide was awesome, the city was beautiful, couldn’t have been more pleased.

The boat trip around the islands was a great experience. Our skipper and guide Tomaso introduced us to the history and numerous interesting facts of Venice in a very entertaining way. The prosecco (of which there was plenty) was the icing on the cake. The duration of the trip was also appropriate.

Beautiful ride, very nice guide and precise in the stories, wonderful day it's worth it! All accompanied by good prosecco

we had a guide keen on history and we were only two people so privileged visit, on the other hand a little light content: a demo in a single glassware (where we spent most of the time visiting the store with the seller on our heels) + visit to the basilica, the rest of the island is apparently not planned in the program (too bad!) .. but very helpful guide in any case (to help us find the right shuttle boat to leave )

Just perfect 👌 We had a wonderful time. Our guide was exceptional 👏 I recommend 100%

We chose a private tour with a guide to the island of Murano, and it was a very pleasant experience, a far cry from group tours. Our guide took the time to tell us about the history of Venice and we visited places far from the tourist crowds. We stayed in Venice for four days, and this outing was by far the best. Grazie mille!

Beautiful experience! They have fully adapted to our needs. The guide, exceptional !!!

Outstanding visit. The guide Giovanna made us feel at home, prepared and professional. The whole visit is an unmissable emotion to give to yourself and your family. Exceeded our expectations

We were with three children aged 4 and 6: the guide was very patient and was able to involve them! Absolutely positive experience.

Katia is an excellent guide. Interesting and available. The visit was superb. A good time with the family that we recommend

Annamaria gave us wonderful insights into Murano. Very exciting, informative and personal. Thanks very much!

The tour guide was very helpful and was pointing out various landmarks around the islands. The passengers were split into two groups, one each for two glass factories on Murano. We went to the Mazzucato factory which had a very good demonstration of glass blowing

Our guide David was exceptional. So many interesting pieces of history, personal stories and insights. It was like spending the day with a local friend.

Fantastic tour with Giovanna, an extremely nice, hard-working Venetian woman who speaks perfect German. Very well organised, extensive and interesting information about Murano and the history of this small island. Lots of new impressions and, above all, good memories. Absolutely great and highly recommended! We (Nina and Jürgen) say thank you dear Giovanna

What a wonderful day with our guide in Murano. We loved the tour of the glass factory and a walk to the amazing church in the island. It was a perfect way to spend the day.

Was a little hard to locate since it is a pop up kiosk verse actual place. More of a large flag and a line of people. The guide was pleasant.

Very good for the price it is, opposite of maybe the 100€ that ask you the private gongoliers, here you get probably the same experience for not even half the price. Plus in the end you get VR tour of how was Venice back in the days for free, so what can you ask more for? I definitely recommend this tour.

The time in the gondola is quite short, it's a shame and our gondolier didn't have the typical outfit but the ride is nice. In addition, the initial visit in the streets of Venice with the guide and the experience with the virtual reality headset was rather nice

It was amazing. I was searching gondola for good price and this was perfect.

The Gondola Ride experience was great, and was accompanied by a short walking tour before and a VR experience after, which gave a good insight into the history of the city and grand canal. We just wished the gondola ride could be a little longer, but at this price point it is certainly worth every cent.

The whole thing was amazing. The knowledge that was shared to us was great and very impressive. Getting some information before we went on the gondolas was wonderful. The length of the ride was perfect and gave us a good look around at different areas. I I joyed the little museum at the end and especially the virtual tour.

The gondola right was just perfect. Not too short, not too long, just right. The view in the Grand Canal is superb, and the narrow canals that the ride takes you through is quiet and calm. It was off season so not crowded, and the price was great. I booked last minute because wasn't sure of the weather, it had been raining all morning, but the weather held up and we had a super ride.

Our guide Elizabeth was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing the history of Venice the tradition of the Gondola. The virtual reality experience at the end was very cool although my daughter’s equipment didn’t work so she missed out on that.

Enjoyed the tour and the beautiful scenery. I do wish it had been a little more of a guided tour.

Lovely guide who was very informative. Gondoliers were amazing and made you feel relaxed and comfortable for your ride around the canals. Excellent service highly reccommended

Friendly and professional guide that gave us information and history throughout the walking tour. The gondola ride was the most exciting and fun experience. The 3d video interaction was also well presented and fun to join with.

Our gondolier Alvise Marco was fantastic! He was very engaging & funny. I highly recommend this ride. We went down some side canal & ended in the Grand Canal. Stay for the virtual tour of Venice that is offered after the ride.

Could not hear the tour guide at all. Voice was not loud and lower level could not hear her. Murano was all about buying Murano, which of course we did. There was nothing in Burano to see. Too a few pics and found a bar. Boat ride was fine and comfortable. Rather crowded.

All islands were great in their own respect but Burano was excellent.

The boat took as on a round trip on smaller islands. Glass factory (and shop) and spectacular colorfull fishermans village

This is an activity worth doing. Amazing views in Burano and great glass structures in Murano.

Great wayup to see both islands, you spend about an hour on each . If you want to spend more time book a different cruise. Simple way to see both places rather fast .

Great time visiting the lovely islands. Wish the stops were longer.

Booked this trip for my mum and I - short city break to Venice. Well organised, and structured, and the guide - multilingual and approachable - made it easier to understand timings and locations at each stop. However, meeting point is quite a way from the actual boat so you do need to be able to keep up with the group for a fast walk over 3 bridges and waiting in the sun with no seating prior to this walk for about 30 mins. On the boat, large vessel, lots of seating inside and upstairs - mostly covered, and clean, well maintained, and well staffed - both helpful and supportive. The glass factory on Murano - particularly the demo - was amazing! A true artist and expert in his field!!! The factory shop was a little disappointing, as the prices were much higher than on the mainland. The island itself - Murano - is beautiful and well worth a quick wander around... though you don't have long to look before jumping back on the boat. Burano - beautiful to look at and again well worth a wander around...

Easy to find the meeting point. Exchanged bar codes for tickets and then the boat left from directly behind the ticket office. The islands tour was really good, impressive to see the glass blowing and around 45 minutes to explore each of the three islands. The guide was great, explaining everything in multiple languages. A really enjoyable, well organised trip.

Good visit to watch a glass master make a vase and a little horse, then some time to enjoy Murano island. On to Burano to explore it for a wee while. All in all a good little tour

It was good. Our specific boat wasn’t too overcrowded so when we got to the glass factory there was plenty of room to see. The factory shop has some pretty hilarious pricing for products. Burano was beautiful. The tour itself was punctual. We had 30 mins free roaming in Murano and about 1 hour in Burano. For us it was enough time.

The tour was well organized and run on time. The glass blowing demo at Murano was good and impressive although it felt a bit short. We had lots of time for some shopping afterwards. We had to skip the visit to Burano due to some time limitations we had. overall it was a great experience.

The duration is perfect, we didn't get tired of the boat and there's enough time to visit and explore the islands. The check-in process was easy to find, was a very relaxing activity. I recommend it, Murano is the most famous for the crystal handcrafted goods, but Burano is prettier in my opinion and we liked most.

It was very good. The guide was there to answer any question and made it easy for us to know what to look for and where in the islands. My only advice to tourists who are not very interested in historical places to take the Murano and Burano without Torcello tours. Torcello is beautiful, and has it's own valuable attractions but different than what you find in Murano and Burano and not that family friendly. All together, it was a wonderful experience and I admire the punctuality of the tour including the transportation.

Really nice excursion to visit Murano and Burano ! The guide Andreas is perfect, he can speak lots of languages. Really practical to be able to board and get off at Santa Lucia or Saint Marco. We also visited Torcello, but I think it isn't worth the detour. The time we could spend in Murano and Burano was not enough, it would be better to skip Torcello and lenghten the time in Murano and Burano. Burano is the best spot for gorgeous photos!

Very worthwhile trip. Small exhibit at the glass blowing factory on Murano and then around an hour on the island. then to Burano where you have 2 hours to explore (get lunch at this point) and this is a perfect amount of time to see the island and it's beautiful colours. Next to Torcello you get around an hour or so, again a perfect amount of time. It isn't massively clear to understand the points of interest that they point out on the boat. For the money you spend it is definitely worthwhile!

The tour was a lot of fun, our guide Julia was well versed and really gave us a lot of information and backstory of the locations we visited. The island were absolutely beautiful and the ride to each place was really comfortable too. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend to everyone that thinks of doing this tour!

You see the three islands and they leave you time to explore them, personally I didn't pay much attention to the explanations on the boat but I really liked the boat, we left on time and came back sooner because the last island of the three didn't have much to see, something that I appreciate.

It's definitely a trip to do. But be on time or 15 mins early at every point! We looked at doing the half day trip but glad we didn't as we got much more time in Burano for a chilled lunch and walk along the island. There wasn't much to do in Torcello, but it does have history, and you can climb the church.

Excellent boat and heated, friendly and adequate guide available. Beautiful demonstration in Murano, Beautiful Burano, Torcello to see. For the small difference in price, the tour of the three islands is always convenient since it offers more time to visit Burano than it deserves.

Was a beautiful trip! Well worth the money! 3 beautiful islands and a great host who spoke I think up to 5-6 languages! Murano glass experience was amazing! Little tip! Walk out of the shop at the end of the tour and go to the local’s shops, literally 2/3 of what the factory tour is charging! Burano is beautiful! Make sure to visit Bepi’s house and try their biscuits. Torcello is so peaceful and pretty! Also the bell tower you can climb for €5 each! We didn’t realise that until we got there! The sights were gorgeous!

The guide did an amazing job however it was hard to hear over the intercom

Murano part was spoiled by being captive in one shop and factory. We would have liked time to walk to all the shops, so the stop should have been another 1/2 hour longer. Technically one could have left the shop but there was no time, and you had to come through the shop again to get back to the boat. The other two islands were superb stops, and perfect as they occurred. Fifteen more minutes on Torello would have been icing on the cake.

Good price for the itinerary. The islands are beautiful and full of history! People usually skip Torcello, but it is a great mistake! Torcello was one of the highest spots of this tour for me! The only remark goes to the sound system in the intern part of the boat: low level and people talking during the explanations made the listening a hard task for me and my group. Unfortunately we shared the boat with people that does not were properly educated and even interested in the explanations…

Torcello seemed like a waste of time, the other 2 islands were gorgeous. The boat ride was beautiful.

Had a great 40 minute private gondola trip for just the 2 of us. Yes we could have done it cheaper if we had taken a shared gondola but we wanted a special romantic experience which it was. Our gondolier was superb talking us through the sites and buildings along the way. A special day.

Our gondola ride was perfetto! Primarily due to the excellent service and information we received from our gondolier!!

What an amazing experience! Definitely worth it doing a private ride. I had my elderly mother (65), young son (8), teenage daughter (16), and myself and we all had a great time. Venice is GORGEOUS!!

We weren't sure about doing this ride but really pleased that we did. We booked and paid for it online earlier in the day (about £100), went to the travel office in Campo san Luca at the allotted time, where we were issued with a voucher which we took to Bacino Orseolo to give to any of the gondoliers there. Three of us enjoyed having a gondola to ourselves (although we probably could have arranged a ride for just 3 of us on the spot earlier in the day at one of the quieter gondola stations), and booked for 6pm so we enjoyed sunset on the Grand Canal. The gondolier hardly spoke to us but that was fine, we just enjoyed the sights from the water.

bit expensive for the time you get but it has to be done when in Venice! was a lovely experience all in all

This was worth the money paid. We got thirty minutes of tranquil boating through the canals and onto the Grand Canal. A wonderful experience, which would be even better if the price was cheaper!!! :) :) :)

Our gondolier did talk and give some information. Great way to see the city.

Although it was a bit difficult for us to get to the meeting point, there was a guide who later took us to the starting point. The gondolier was very friendly and entertained us with anecdotes and comments about Venice.

We loved watching the gondoliers interact — it added a real local flavor to the trip.

This ride made me feel like a true Venetian noble. Absolutely magical!

The view is incredible. Th gondola itself was nice. The gentleman maneuvering the gondola was nice but did not speak much besides telling us his name. Next time I would opt for a gondola ride that specifically states conversation or music or at least pointing things out is included.

A relaxing way to see the Grand Canal — no need to walk or worry about directions.

We had a wonderful trip , with amazing guides x thanks from Ireland

All aspects of the trip were very good. The Virtual Reality experience at the beginning was great, the boat trip with the guide’s commentary was really interesting. Murano glass blowing was fascinating and we had time for a stroll to see part of the island. Burano was simply beautiful and there was plenty of time to explore and to sit down for some lunch. Overall an excellent experience with a great guide and good value for money. I would highly recommend it to anyone

Had an amazing tour! Our guide had so many little stories about the islands as we were driving out, highly recommended to anyone heading to Venice

The trip was overall very pleasurable and enjoyable. Our Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She was happy to repeat every time anyone asked. She was also happy to answer any and all of our questions. However, I wish we had more time at Murano.

We loved our Murano/Burano tour. This was a unique experience. From the boat ride, to the glass blowing and lace-making demonstrations, to tasting the traditional Burano biscuits, it packed a lot of great experiences into one tour. Our tour guide, Marta, was wonderful! She was friendly, enthusiastic, and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Venice, the islands, and the lagoon. Thank you Marta!! We also had a skilled boat captain who did a great job of navigating the low tides. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Excellent, such a good day out. Luigi was fabulous, would highly recommend this trip.

Enjoyed all of it! Everyone was wonderful from the ladies at the meeting point to Claudia our guide. A fabulous trip

Our guide was fantastic! His knowledge and passion made the tour informative and fun.

We had a wonderful time visiting both islands! The guides were very knowledgeable, helpful, and responsible. Definitely recommend this tour.

We loved it, the guide was really nice and had a lot of knowledge about everything.

Excellent way to experience both Murano and burano in a day. Lovely guide in a group of 6 on a lovely boat. Would highly recommend.

Boat ride pleasant Not enough time given at glass blowing in our opinion Lace making interesting again not enough time Note that it says tour is 4.5 hours That does not include the boat ride return so add another 35-40 to your day

A short and well-priced tour. It's worth it for those who don't want anything grand, but want to do this must-see tour in the city.

The gondola ride in Venice is not an activity, but an experience. A beautiful memory that you will always carry with you.

I would do this if you are pressed tor time if not find other ones. Four star is for our gondola driver who gave us umbrella as it rained. The tour operator is not well organized , they missed us even when we were there 15 mins earlier than reporting time.

There was a short walk w/historical information that was greatly appreciated. Well worth the cost of the tour.

I loved the 15min commentary prior to the ride and wish that was longer. The boats seated 4 so we were with another couple. The Gondolier smiled when he saw us taking selfies that he was in the background on, so cute! Great value for the money

There was a great buzz around the meeting area. We shared our ride which was perfectly fine. It was lovely to float around the sidestreets as opposed to the grand canal which was very crowded making the waters choppy. We loved this!

All of the people involved were wonderful - the gondolier, the tour guide, etc. That being said, Venice is so overrun and this experience is so commercial, it felt like a ride at Epcot not an authentic experience.

The gondola ride was our highlight! The title is a bit misleading – you start on the Grand Canal, but then quickly head into small side canals – but it was very peaceful! Very nice guides!

Not just a góndola ride but a mini tour as well. Great experience. You are in the góndola for a good 25-30 minutes.

A great way to discover Venice. Of course, the beautiful things are always too short. Depending on the provider, you'll take different roads.

I booked this gondola excursion for our party of six with no issues. When we checked in I was informed that each gondola holds only five people and our party would have to split up. I wish this was included in the reservation process. The excursion itself was a bit disorganized. Our reservation was for 5:45. We checked in just before 5:30 and didn’t get started until about 6:10. The gondola ride was nice…about 20 minutes.

If you want a quick gondola ride and nothing else, this is the right one. Takes a little turn into the canals (not under the Rialto Bridge). 30 minutes and then it's done but that's what I wanted.

The best €25 I ever spent! Amazing day trip to 3 gorgeous little villages! Perfect amount of free time in each place, the day flies in! Like other people have said, don't buy anything in the glass factory, things are much cheaper in the shops. Really nice big boat, with an option to sit inside or outside.

The guide was amazing and narrated everything in 5 languages all day! The weather was not great--rainy and cold--but that could not be helped. I understand that we were trying to take in a lot of sights in one day, but it did at times feel very rushed.

Really nice excursion to visit Murano and Burano ! The guide Andreas is perfect, he can speak lots of languages. Really practical to be able to board and get off at Santa Lucia or Saint Marco. We also visited Torcello, but I think it isn't worth the detour. The time we could spend in Murano and Burano was not enough, it would be better to skip Torcello and lengthen the time in Murano and Burano. Burano is the best spot for gorgeous photos !

We walked along the narrow streets and admired the work of the craftswomen who create lace products. We spent more time on the island of Burano enjoying its charm.

Very nice demonstration at Murano glass factory , but that's it, no factory tour, only the shop. Beautiful experience exploring Burano. Rather sad at depopulated Torcello Island.

It was a great way to see the culture and history of Venice and the surrounding islands. The glass demo was interesting and a must . The coloured houses in Burano are eye-catching and the story behind them light hearted. With quaint restaurants, for a light bite and a glass of wine. Spent approximately an hour and half at each location.

The educational visit on the manual processing of glass in artisan ovens is interesting. But I don't understand why the shop is induced in internal shops with very high prices, even in the shops in the internal square of the town. The paradox is that in the bazaars along the route to Venice in the Rialto bridge area, the prices of Murano glasses, identical to those we bought on the island, are 3 euros lower per piece. One out of five would come free. What a disappointment!!!

The information given by the multilingual guide was clear and interesting to know. The islands are a must see, Burano being the most picturesque with its brightly colored houses. The boat ride is comfortable. The free time granted on site allows you to wander the alleys while admiring the very nicely stocked local shops.

Perfect tour for us .. the right combination of guided information and free time. Highlight was Burano, would go back to explore more.

It was a great tour. Wonderful value for money experience. Very well organized the information shared by the guide was very interesting, the time allowed in each town was more than enough

The excursion to the lagoon gave us the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello. The boat ride through nature was breathtaking, and a stop on the island of Murano allowed us to see the glass making process and learn about the art of glassblowing.

The first 2 islands were very nice, the last one was not much (a church on an island) There were also people who did the 2 islands tour, I would recommend that to people. A visit to the glass museum is an absolute must as far as I am concerned, but I have not seen a tour in a glass factory (they must mean the museum, but you can visit it at your own expense and opportunity)

A must do in Venice. Very educational and a great experience. Our tour guide Beatrix was amazing with explaining everything to us and ensuring we had a good Gondola ride. I would recommend.

1/2 heure de gondole sur l’heure annoncée Partage de la gondole avec un autre couple Sinon bien

10-15 minute walking tour followed by approx 30 mins of gandola, the guide was nice and friendly. Must do in venice!

Our guide for the walking tour was very cool, but our gondelieri barely talked to us and the ride was rather short, also you'll have to share a gondola (there are 5 seats). Overall nice, but not worth the money

La experiencia del tour fue excelente, pero lo que realmente marcó la diferencia fue la atención que recibimos de Aurora. Por un retraso en nuestro vuelo, llegamos tarde a la actividad que teníamos reservada y pensamos que ya no podríamos participar. Sin embargo, Aurora nos recibió con una enorme amabilidad y se tomó el tiempo de ayudarnos a conseguir un lugar en el siguiente grupo, aunque no era el que correspondía a nuestro horario original. Su actitud fue sumamente atenta, cálida y resolutiva. En un momento de bastante estrés para nosotros, su forma de tratarnos nos dio mucha tranquilidad y nos hizo sentir cuidados. Gracias a su gestión pudimos disfrutar del tour y no perdernos la experiencia. Es muy valioso encontrar personas como Aurora, que no solo hacen bien su trabajo, sino que lo hacen con vocación y cariño. ¡Un agradecimiento enorme para ella!

Excellent, well organized good attention, good audio system, GAIA, excellent guide and the perfect finish a 3D experience of the beginnings of Venezia..great job!!!!

The guide was excellent. He gave us lots of information about the history of Venice. My only gripe would be to say he walked very fast and some people struggled to keep up with his. Perhaps this needs to be taken into account. The Gondola ride was beautiful. Very relaxing but it could have been even better had the Gondolier even so much as made eye contact with us. Had he been just a little bit cordial we would have given him a tip. That is not the fault of the guide or the tour company so overall this was a good activity

I was hoping to have commentary whilst IN the gondola but our guide Ellen was most excellent while walking around the city. Knowledgeable and professional and fun.

Fantastic trip, really enjoyed the narrow street canals into the Grand Canal. Bit extra time would have been great though but defo worth the money

Our tour guide Beatrice was very friendly. We asked for the tour in French and she was able to speak to us very fluently. she had good knowledge about the history of Venice and the gondola. The gondola ride was very fun and finished with a VR presentation of Venice. The gondolier’s were helpful for people that need help coming in and exiting the gondola! 100% recommend!

A 5-minute walk with some interesting explanations. About 30 minutes by gondola. The tour is pleasant and allows you to disconnect while enjoying Venice from its canals.

Everything was fine. The guide was super friendly and the experience was wonderful.

Both Camilla and the captain were absolutely charming, the trip was just about the right duration. All great 👍🏼

Really well organised and Nicole’s commentary was great on the boat. The glass blowing demonstration was amazing and definitely recommend doing it. Lovely half day trip overall.

Beautiful islands, the guide told us so many things on the way! Excellent

The trip was absolutely worth it especially to visit 2 lovely interesting little islands. A big thankyou for the lovely Nicole for making the trip extra special with her interesting commentary and friendliness

Definitely worthwhile taking this trip. It was very busy and we were kept waiting in a queue on the dock in the hot sun for over 40 minutes before we boarded and left for Murano which wasn’t great, felt like cattle, but glad we didn’t bail as we enjoyed our day, especially Burano

it's a very well run business. the crew onboard are extremely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this company for your boat trip to Murano and Burano. grazie mille!

We loved the glassblower's performance; it was fascinating to watch. The shopping time was very short. The same goes for Murano, a cute little island but too little time to shop. Otherwise, the boat ride was very pleasant and the guide was very friendly.

Very interesting trip, the Murano glass factory is practically an art museum. There are beautiful and unapproachable pieces. It's a shame about the short time available, only an hour, Burano is also enchanting. Explaining everything to 100 people in 4 languages is not easy, perhaps it should last an hour more. However, the final judgment is more than positive..

Confusion with which boat and where to queue on a very busy quayside. Boat should have departed at 10.30 but was late and didn’t leave till 10.50. Guide could not be heard over noisy engine. Not much to see in Murano other than glass factory and a few shops selling the same. Burano was stunning, picturesque coloured houses with some amazing shops, restaurants and bars

The trip was absolutely worth it especially to visit 2 lovely interesting little islands. A big thankyou for the lovely Nicole for making the trip extra special with her interesting commentary and friendliness 😁😘

A pleasant activity that allows us to appreciate the islands of Murano and Burano in a short time.

activated super very good guide. everything was impeccable thank you very much

Everything went well, quick 30min ride but the gondolas are sublime, I recommend! We arrived a little early and were picked up directly, thank you

Excellent Simone was great highly recommend. Great location to board gondola.

Lovey experience that you can’t miss out in Venice. Having a private gondola was very much worth it, and going in the early morning gave us a much better experience. A shout out to the great captain of the gondola we had, very engaging and friendly!

An experience that should be lived at least once in a lifetime. Exciting, suggestive. I lived it with husband and children, and we were all enchanted

We passed by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection — amazing to see from the water!

Nice trip! But I thought it would be longer and a bit more individual.

We had a very enjoyable gondola ride (one and only as newlyWeds) with our guide. Luckily the weather was perfect and the guide told us interesting facts about the different historically significant buildings along the canal as we passed them. The trip felt like the perfect amount of time for a short afternoon activity after we toured the Basilica and Palace all morning.

A lovely 30-minute escape from the crowds. Highly recommend for couples!

It was fun! He gave good explanations and the gondolier was very good at sailing. A fun way to see Venice from a different angle.

We had so much fun despite the cold weather. Our gondolier was very friendly and informative.

Beautiful Gondola ride however not much of a guide & lots of traffic however memorable & special

Amazing - a must in Venice. The location was easy to find and the gondola ride was fantastic. A very friendly Gondolier. We arrived really early as we were in the area but the Gondoliers said it was no problem and they took us there and then.

This was fantastic and totally worth the money! My husband and I traveled to Rome, Florence and Venice in July 2018. We were on a budget and didn't want to bust the budget, so went with the "shared" gondola option and then splurged to have the serenade option. The experience was unforgettable and easily the best part of our whole trip! The singer and the man with the accordion had great chemistry and were constantly interacting w/ my husband and I. I thought the 20 mins sounded kinda short, but it ended up being the perfect amount of time. Do it at sunset around 7:30 if possible. Highly recommend this to all my family members and friends, it was simply enchanting and something my husband and I will never forget!

A truly worthwhile experience! Magnificent serenade with a very friendly singer and guitarist!

I had seen a gondola with a singer a few days earlier and was very impressed with the performance. Now I was lucky that exactly this singer sang on our gondola ride. Thank you, it was beautiful

I thought the trip was very good... it was quite bouncy and there was a long wait in the queue before boarding but the guys were brilliant at getting everyone on and off the boats. The trip itself wasn't very long, but the singer and the accordion were audible across all the gondolas and the journey through the grand canal followed by a number of smaller canals was very good. Everyone who heard the singing or accordion music was smiling and waving and even some danced by the side of the river - overall a very good vibe - feel good trip. Glad we did it.

it's great with the serenade. the ride itself is extremely short. Roughly 20-25mins with a quick round from where you launch.

This is very nice activity! Man in gondola is very fun! I recommend you to experience this touar! Sharing a gondra is very fun because you can meet new friends on gondra!

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience . Especially the serenade . He had an amazing voice , we were very impressed with him . Shane he didn’t stop , we wanted to speak to him . But managed to tip him

According to the ad we booked with this company as they offered 6 passengers. Fine only 5 but questioned.They were extremely rude and argued with us re our booking, paper vouchers and electronic proof of purchase. After an hour they realized we were not Leaving so put us in boats. 3 of us were with the musicians and had fun but the others couldn’t hear the music well as the gondolier was on his cell the whole time. Our gondolier was yelling at us when we were getting out. Take your chances

Luckily we were in the same boat as the musicians and it was the best part of our Italy trip

It started 10 m-minutes late, but there were also 10 minutes longer, sometimes you say two, sometimes four and sometimes six people in one gondola, more than ten gondolas went from the main canal to a side canal and then it went back there, the singers and the instrument players you could hear the gondola took turns so that everyone could enjoy it) was far away of course you couldn't bike that much so 50 percent music guarantee

Beautiful gondola ride through Venice and to grand canal with family of 5. Very enjoyable, relaxing, and memorable! Thanks for making it easy to book and embark from gondola meeting dock.

Very kind gondolier, very nice the 'manager' of the voucher acceptance. Having booked online I thought I would save some money and not spend 40 euros more. I hope that at least part of these 40 euros will remain with the gondolier and the 'manager' because they are truly extremely available

We had a very enjoyable gondola ride (one and only as newlyWeds) with our guide. Luckily the weather was perfect and the guide told us interesting facts about the different historically significant buildings along the canal as we passed them. The trip felt like the perfect amount of time for a short afternoon activity after we toured the Basilica and Palace all morning.

We had so much fun despite the cold weather. Our gondolier was very friendly and informative.

Wonderful experience, super easy to find the meeting point and very helpful gondolier! Highly recommend!

We passed by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection — amazing to see from the water!

Very pleasant and relaxing. Friendly gondolier but not very talkative.

Excellent Simone was great highly recommend. Great location to board gondola.

We were early and they happily accommodated us. Everyone was very helpful and kind. Nice trip!

Very nice experience, friendly guide and a neat and clean gondola!

It was nice to have a reservation and not have wait. Nice tour of the canals.

Everything went well, quick 30min ride but the gondolas are sublime, I recommend! We arrived a little early and were picked up directly, thank you

The trip to Burano and Murano was the highlight of our trip to Venice. Emma was amazing with all of her insider information! Highly recommend.

Emma was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, fun, and made sure we were able to see and do exactly what we wanted. Her knowledge of Venice as well as Murano and Burano was very good and her English was excellent!

The tour guide and her assistant were excellent, couldn’t have been better. They programmed the tour to our desires, perfectly!! Very supportive informative and always at our fingertips. Everything about the tour was most marvellous💙💜 thank you.

Our guide Tobia Navarro was excellent. Picked us up promptly at the hotel. He was very passionate about Venice and answered the many questions we had. Murano glass was amazing and we purchased some glass made by the master who was doing the demonstration. My husband was desperate to try green crabs but we couldn’t find a restaurant who did this dish. Tobia rang round some restaurants while we were on the glass tour. He found one on Burano and very kindly booked a table and reserved the dish for us After a very interesting visit to the lace making, and yet another purchase, we had the most fantastic meal and the crabs at Restaurant Galuppi. Our trip ran over its time but this was not an issue for Tobia. He was very laid back and an excellent guide. Private tour avoids the crowds.

The activity was excellent, it will remain as one of our best memory from Venezia. Emma is a friendly host which speaks English but also French, she gave us interesting pieces of information on her city, the culture, the food and of course the different islands of Venezia. Transportation was really well organized, it was so nice to have a private and fast boat when we could see that the other boats were so crowded with people. Murano and especially Burano are definitively places you would want to see if you have at least half a day to spare while visiting Venezia. These are quite unique and beautiful places.

no improvements. went like clockwork, wonderful, knowledgeable guide. pretty close to perfect.

Emma was very nice and informative. we had a nice trip to Murano to the glass factory and Buramo to see the lace

Jasmine was a perfectly delightful guide, full of information and perfect English.

Our guide Emma met us at our hotel and took us to a private water taxi. We toured the glass factory in Murano, then took the taxi to Burano. She showed us around the town, including lace making and Burano biscuits. Then we had a bit of free time to explore Burano and relax before we boarded the water taxi back to Venice and our guide walked us back to our accommodation. Our guide was friendly, funny and knowledgeable and the whole experience was fun. The price wasn't much more than the cost of just the private taxi on its own. Highly recommended!

Absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend this trip to anyone, including families with teenagers or older.

Emma, our guide was absolutely amazing. We've done a few tours across the globe and none have made us feel as 'at home' as this. While the tour sights themselves were magical, it was definitely the guide that was the Cherry on top. The glass blowing demonstration in Murano was awe-inspiring and exploring Burano on foot after was the perfect addition.

Super impressed. Had a wonderful experience seeing Burano and Murano that we never could have created on our own. Our guide Emma was a wealth of information and so fun to work with. She told us so much about the stops on the tour and about Venice in general. Would very highly recommend.

An evening Gondola ride is a must do in Venice. It was fabulous to appreciate the grandeur of the Grand Canal and then slip down the quieter canals under the stars. Our Gondalier was fabulous telling us stories and pointing out things we may have missed.

Must have experience when in Venice! Short and sweet 30 mins ride just for the experience

the activity was as expected. the boatman spoke a little about the sights and kept quiet most of the time which is my preference.

A brilliant 30 minute gondola experience, our guide was great too

We had a wonderful relaxing gondola ride, after quite a stressful time getting to the spot (our fault, traveling into Venice for a day trip with two young kids in tow, just give yourself more time than you think. Our gondalier was excellent and although it doesn't come with a live commentary he showed us the top sights and expertly guided us through quiet and busy canals

It was lovely but poured rain Careful of pick pockets as my friend had her phone stolen shortly after getting off

Loved it! Good ride and our gondolier provided some historical facts while on gondola!

Beautiful gondola ride through Venice and to grand canal with family of 5. Very enjoyable, relaxing, and memorable! Thanks for making it easy to book and embark from gondola meeting dock.

Excellent Simone was great highly recommend. Great location to board gondola.

We couldn’t come to Venice without a traditional gondola ride. Would recommend.

Great guide but the boat is a lot weathered … all in all a fantastic experience !! We would highly recommend!

We loved the activity! Our gondolier was great, friendly and very helpful.

Th rotator was excellent. Engaging funny and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed our walk around Venice The gondola ride was great too. Shared the trip with a lovely Dutch couple.

Our tour guide Andrea was wonderful. He helped us learn about Venice's rich history and pointed out things it was helpful for us to know for exploring on our own the other days we were there. The gondola ride at the end was a real treat as well. A lot of information packed into the time we had together. Would highly recommend.

Definitely must do as we learnt so much about the history of Venice and got to see snippets of this incredible labyrinthine that only a local would know! Our guide, Fredericka, was wonderful'

Really informative guide with interesting facts. Small group in a busy environment but helped by the Bluetooth communication. Frederica was knowledgeable and passionate about her city.

A nice short orientation to a small section of Venice. The pace is fast with the guide walking a talking. Loved the history and the details about how people manage to live in the city especially when it rains!

So informative and fun tour. Our tour guide was the best to tell us secrets of Venice and the gondola ride was amazing

Great walking tour, our guide was very informative on Venice and its history. It was great to see the less see spots. The Gondola ride was magical

This was a fun walking tour of Venice. The streets can be like a maze, so it was helpful to have a guide. Our guide (I forget his name) was very funny and personable. Very dry sense of humor, which I loved. And the gondola tour is fun. It’s something that you kinda just have to do while in Venice.

Our tour was good. 5 star to our walking tour guide. derive a star for Gondola, not a word from our Gondola driver/guide. The process for getting our tickets was different than any other tours we have done. Confusing and a snippy gal at the window

Wonderful walking tour through San Marco area of Venice. We loved learning the history of this neighborhood.

Great trip. Loved the tour guide, Chiara - she was knowledgeable and did a great job. Loved the gondola ride - our only comment is that it would have been nice for the gondoliar did a little commentary. But we still had a great trip. Overall highly recommend the trip for the price.

The walking tour was great and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The area was extremely busy as it was Carnevale, but still very enjoyable. Would recommend.

It was my dream and it didn’t disappoint! Jake was a great gondolier and chatted all the way! I paid for an hour and we did a mix of both the grand canal and the more peaceful canals which was brilliant! The weather was awful in the morning and they kindly delayed until the afternoon where it was beautiful sunshine! A truly memorable time on my birthday!

We didn't really sail in the small streets. Only between the taxi boats. There wasn't much to see on the route. In short, too much money for what it was. The only positive was the experience and a friendly man.

Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about Venice! An amazing private gondola ride! I wish it was 45-60 minutes for the price but overall we will only do this once and it was a great time.

The gondola tour was good and nice to be in the quieter canals on the island. Boat was nice and guide was welcoming but didn’t tell us anything about the island while on the tour

We had some trouble getting to the location because we didn't know we had to take a taxi from outside of Venice which made us late. Ultimately, it was our fault for not doing more research, but we would have appreciated a bigger heads up in the directions for those who were not already in that area of Venice. Otherwise, it was a great time and we enjoyed ourselves!!

The Gondola ride was a unique way to see the city. They were very kind and accommodating. We will definitely do this again on our next trip to Venice.

This worked well for me as a solo traveller as the usual prices meant it wouldn't have been an option for me on my own. Bit of a guided tour on the way to the Gondola ride which was quite serene once we were on our way. A bit of waiting around so you need to allow a couple of hours taking everything into consideration. The gallery at the end was well worth staying for, you really felt that you were there and had gone back in time with the 3D experience.

This was an amazing experience with a group of friends.Its a must when your visiting venice and great photo opportunities when on the gondola boat.

We signed up for a gondola tour. Did not realize there would be another brief tour as we walked to the gondola docks. That was ok, but our primarty reason was to take a gondola ride. We enjoyed the gondola ride, however there was no interaction with the gondolier. Personally was not looking to be entertained by him or have an extensive conversation, but not even a welcome, hello or thank you.

Lovely ride, we had a good time. Marta Boccato was great guide. We were also lucky with the weather.

Great experience. The gondolier was very knowledgeable and friendly Wish I had more time for a longer excursion.

Experiencing Venice from a different perspective, from the canals, was a must do! Emma our guide gave us some extra info about Venice and the history of Gondolas, which was really interesting. Ending with a VR tour taking you back to the 15th century was quite entertaining.

Great short walking tour, followed up with a scenic gondola ride and then a tour into yesteryear with virtual reality goggles.

It was amazing, magical. Beatrice Da Ros was our guide, she was very sweet & explained everything and walked us through the streets of Venice. I highly recommend it to everyone.

The gondola ride, coupled with the expertise of the tour guide, brought the waterways and architecture to life!

Got's to do yes or yes super nice experience relaxing great view from the Grand Canal... Wife loved it

A lot of people for the tour, but I do have to say. For as many people in our tour group and the other one that meet at the same time. It was well organized and a pleasant experience.

Tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the islands. A few hours isn't enough to take in everything but its a great start.

Excellent time spent with our guide. We discovered streets where we had not ventured alone. Very good explanations that allowed us to discover Venice differently. The boat ride was a plus for us as we had only done one before. This walk allowed us to see other points of view because we started from another place but no comment from the guide.

Great variety of historical information away from the more touristy spots provided by the guide on the walking portion.

Boat ride to the islands was fabulous and we learnt some interesting history on the walking excursions.

The tour was very interesting. The guide told us lots of interesting things.

Informative guide. Humorous and knowledgeable. Learnt so much about Murano and Burano

Nice introduction to our arrival in Venice, I highly recommend starting with this activity

A wonderful guide who knew how to transmit to us all the subtleties of this magnificent island

A little hard to understand the guide because of the accent. But she was very good anyway. What she had to tell was very interesting. And she had a good sense of humor. All in all a very good experience. I absolutely love Venice.

There was some slight confusion at the meeting place as they had 2 different tours. Our guide was OK but there wasn't a lot of "content" in the tour and her English was a little broken, but understandable.
