Customer reviews of tours in Italy

These were excellent value especially as staying on mestre, we used the bus to get in and out every day and the water bus to visit the islands and make our way round when our legs got tired !

Super easy to use - we had a great day on the water exploring the islands! Would highly recommend.

It was a great help as I am partially disabled and use two sticks to get around. Walking the length and breadth of Venice and enjoying the city would have been impossible without the pass.

Way to easy to pick-up the tickets and use them… truly it was the best way to transport in Venice, and I would use and recommend it again

A great way to get around although if seated the windows are filthy so you can’t enjoy the views.

The water bus was easy to find and using the tickets pre booked was better than trying to work out the machine. As long as u know where u r going and where u have to get off it’s fine.

I bought the 24hr pass on the morning before going to the ticket machine and printing off. When boarding the bus I did wonder how it was supposed to scan but even though it was a paper copy this was no problem. I utilised the pass heavily to go to lido, burrano and murano before coming back into Venice and using there also. So worth it for the money and would defo recommend to people to use it. Easy simple and value for money

I liked being able to get off the train and going right to the kiosk to get my tickets. There was a line for vaporetto tickets. It would have been cheaper to buy in person if I'd been willing to wait in line.

This was easy to book and use and meant that we could skip the queues for the ticket office. It was also cheaper than buying the tickets on the day. Would recommend using.

Very easy to get on and off. The instructions to pick up the tickets at the kiosk could be a little more clear. There is 2 bus stations at the train stop without kiosks prior to finding the third station which had the pickup kiosks. Learning the lines was a bit confusing as well, a bus guide would have helped.

The tickets are easy to redeem. You will get a redemption code after order confirmation. Just head to the yellow ticket machine at every ferry station and insert the redemption code and you will get the ticket right away

They can use more water buses, especially near the train station. We had to wait a long time and when we did get on one it was so crowded we could barely get off at our stop. You need to pay attention because they don't always announce the stops and when they do stop, it is not for a very long time.

Easy to book online and price for trip was very reasonable. Took waterbus along main canal and gondola through lagoon City - a great day out in Venice

Really special, the whole tour was among the Venetian canals and then flowed into the lagoon! Gondolier affable and skilled at his job, tour actually as described. Really great experience, definitely to be repeated.

The walking part leading up to the gondolas was interesting and fun, learned a lot about the city and the tradition of the gondola!! The only negative about the whole thing was that our guide got us to the gondolas and left all of our groups, they were running behind and it became a little chaotic and we had no advocate for our groups. Otherwise was fantastic!!!

We thought that we would have the gondola to ourselves, but we shared it with another couple, which wasn't a big deal. But the other couple rushed into the gondola to grab the nice seats closer to the gondolier, so we weren't able to take any pics there. Overall though, I would recommend, but just know that you'll be sharing the gondola ride with up to 5 people max.

Brilliant value for money lovely chatty informative Gondolier who even gave us a song. Sailed around the tranquil side canals and the Grand Canal for half hour. Would highly recommend. 👍👏🏻

You can't see Venice without gondolas. Gondola ride is an absolute must, unbelievable how they push the long boat through the canals with those sticks, without hitting anything. It's a pity that the gondolier didn't tell much and certainly didn't sing O sole mio. A little more enthusiasm there would have been great. And the chance to take a photo with your partner as you board

Unfortunately, it rained on the day the visit was scheduled. However, we were still able to take a gondola ride and it lasted 30 minutes as planned. We were less far than expected because of the weather, but the experience was worth it.

It was a very pleasant shared gondola ride. Be warned in case you only want to go with your partner, each gondola has 4 people. The tour guide provided a short history of the gondola in English and Spanish on the walk to the gondola. The meeting point is right off of St Mark's Square and is in a convenient location for the average traveler who is already in the area.

15minutes queuing before getting into Gondola but still got 30 minutes on the boat so it was good.

Awesome tour! I enjoyed discovering the real Venice and learning about the city's unique history. I recommend this tour!

A really lovely experience going up the tiny canals and seeing all the little nooks and crannies of Venice. So very unique. Wonderful!!

Overall very good. A bit chaotic when the guide was trying to organise a group of about 50 people onto the gondolas though.

Beautiful experience, thanks above all to our guide Alessandra who was able to involve us with sympathy in the story of Venetian history during the introductory walking tour, especially that relating to the Grand Canal, gondolas and gondoliers. This was followed by a gondola ride of about half an hour, during which the gondolier was equally available to answer any questions we might have.

The best experience I can have. The greaters are lovely and friendlu. Explained how to use the equipment. And the guide told about Venice very clearly and made us fall in love with the city. Thank you for everything

Incredible experience. The weather was not good but it is highly recommended. The very professional guide, explaining the history of the area in Spanish and English. A gondola ride is one of those things that everyone should do once in their lives.

Everything was excellent!!!!! The on line booking was very easy, the informations were very helpful. The gondola tour magical!! Highly recommend

It was absolutely stunning! Knowledgeable tour guide (only before the tour - no commentary during the ride) Gondolier was a great happy chap! Singing,talking to other Gondoliers which made the tour even more authentic. Go for it! Great experience.

So organized and easy to find! Loved it so much. Claudia the tour guide was the best.

We enjoyed the whole activity very much. My thirteen year old daughter loved it so much. This is truly value for money but we realised there could be other alternative routes that could be much exciting as this. Definitely recommend this

Great experience very well organised will certainly recommend to everyone

It was a great experience. The guide was very good. If you are going to Venice, definitely take the Gondola.

Our guide (Esra I believe) first showed us around for about 20 mins and gave us lots on info and facts about Venice. After that only we got to sit the Gondola which last for 30 mins. It was a lovely experience and I would recommend this tour rather than trying to get a Gondola ride on the spot that’s triple the cost!

A wonderful experience very good organization. Very friendly and professional staff. Thank you all.

I loved it, cheaper price and Sara at all times attentive to our needs.

The price is quite good compared to other options, however it is a little tedious having to listen to the guide repeat the same information in 5 different languages, because there comes a time when he is talking about monuments or places that are no longer in sight While the boat is moving, it would be preferable to book something smaller with the preferred language. Aside from that, the overall experience is good and the guide is very helpful and friendly.

Half day in Murano and Burano Departure at 11.00 and return to Venice at 15.30 Very kind guide (Ms. Rossella) and very nice demonstration in the glass factory On the islands you have free time to explore independently

The first stop was too short, after the glass demonstration and a little wonder by their shop you have almost no time to explore the place outside!! We did the half day because we couldn't book the full day anymore so this still a good alternative but of you have time go for a full day trip.

Tour guides were informative and spoke many languages! The tour itself is a little underwhelming as (while VERY beautiful) Burano is quite dull. The glass blowing demonstration was great and some gorgeous artwork. Still a very good experience for the price.

The host was really good and friendly. The ship was comfortable and the journey was great. Good value for money.

Very good activity. However, it would be good to leave at least 30 minutes more free time on each island.

Very good organization, multi-language explanation throughout the journey. Only downside, arrival directly in the glass factory in Murano, and despite a beautiful demonstration of the glassblower, ..., the visit to Murano lasted only fifteen minutes! The visit to Burano was longer and more enjoyable...

Boat on time and easy to find guide. View from boat to islands was beautiful and guide was very informative. The glass products (and demonstration) at Murano was mind blowing. Definitely buy there as it is cheaper than in Venice. Burano is also beautiful. Would have loved to spent more time there, but a wonderful trip to see the two islands.

Very nice but it would have been interesting to spend more time on the island of Murano.

The trip was well led, the glass blowing demonstration was really neat, and both islands are beautiful. We had about an hour on Murano (including the glass-blowing demonstration) and an hour and a half on Burano. I would switch that to spend more time on Murano. Otherwise, the trip was a lot of fun!

During the trip, the guide tells you in 4 languages what you can see outside the boat and some facts about the islands. On top of the deck it was very cold so on the way back we sat down nice and warm. The time we had on Murano was less than an hour. More time would have been nicer. On Burano we had 70 minutes and this was perfect.

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip, was well worth it. Would have liked to have spent a little longer on both islands but overall would recommend

Visited Venice solely with the intention of a gondola ride. It was a solo trip so I was happy to find an option of a shared ride to make it much more affordable. The guide as great and we spent the majority of the ride down the smaller side canals off the grand canal. 100% would recommend.

A worker from the company was waiting for us at the meeting point and kindly accompanied us to the starting point of the gondola ride. We shared it with a couple, in total we were 5 people. We liked it so much that we decided to take a second gondola ride. Venice is beautiful, spectacular from the Grand Canal.

Gift for my in-laws who loved it, everything was perfect Thank you

we didn't expect that much and it's not that spectacular when everyone is doing the same lap in a row

The gondolier, a 10 !! It was a walk that conveyed a lot of peace, a beautiful journey that ended at the Grand Canal. Perfect experience!

While being in Venice it would be unapropriate not to try gondola ride. It was nice experience however too expensive.

Ride was about 15mins, could have been a bit longer. But a great way to see the inner channels and a must do in Venice!

The gondola was amazing …. We met the guide who led us all the way to pick up the gondola … was very well organised … we went all down the side canals and ended up on the grand canal … which was amazing … would thoroughly recommend it … well worth the money.

I found the tour very fast. Duration was not 30 min. It passed through the great channel but not in the main points

The tour was quick and pleasant. Difficult to find someone to help you find your gondola.

A gondola shared with a lovely couple, I was with my daughter, it was a great moment, and a great saving to share the gondola!

Excellent organization and then the culmination of a small dream, in a gondola for the wonderful Venice.

I booked a gondola ride for Venice. It worked perfectly, presented the voucher by mobile phone the next day, got a ticket and got a great route description to the gondolas. It was beautiful and very easy.

It is the first time that I take this kind of tours and I am delighted with the service. Arriving at the agency we asked for favor if they changed the schedule because it was raining and we did not want to lose the experience of getting on the gondola and the attention was immediate. When we were on our way to the gondola we were given a brief explanation of its origin and the tour was the best, the very friendly gondolier and all the staff, I highly recommend it

The phenomenal treatment, giving explanations of the most relevant Palaces, coll no or la fenice.

the ride itself was excellent, however the driver spent the entire trip on the phone, talking to us very little. Also the "Meeting place" is the tour company office which was a 15 minute walk from the actual launch and you have to exchange your voucher for one of theirs. Luckily we stopped by 2 hours early to be sure we were at the right place.

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

The service and the contents of the gondola were wonderful. There was no waiting time.

We had booked a gondola ride at 7.30pm only for the two of us. Since we had read in the reviews that the office is not so easy to find, we left earlier. With Googel Maps that was no problem at all. Since it was our turn earlier, the employee asked us if we wanted to drive earlier and where we were we said yes. She wrote a new time on the slip of paper we went to the stop at the Hard Rock Cafe where there was a long line but we were led straight to the next arriving gondola and off we went. It was a special experience from time to time we saw or heard the gondola with musicians. So I enjoyed it very much, I enjoyed it and it would not have occurred to me to look at the watch for how long we were on the road.

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!!! :) :) :)

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 since the gondola was exclusively for the four of us.

Did not feel it was worth the money. Gondolier talked on his mobile phone for almost the whole trip.

Good experience on Gondola. 30 mins go by fast for the price paid, it is certainly an expensive ride. Our Gondolier is great, he was very skillfull, going around tight corners in the narrow river lanes. I'd highly recommend this for the beautiful views and experience.

Tour guide was knowledgeable and well spoken. Tour worth making reservations ahead for a sunset ride

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!

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…

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Everything went well from departure to return and our guide was great. A very good guide who has a very good command of the history of these islands and who manages to switch between English, French and Italian. He was great, we loved our excursion.

We had an amazing day, so glad that we booked this trip. Great value for money. Murano and Burano were brilliant, there was less to see on Torecello but glad we booked it as we had longer at Burano than those who had just booked the Murano & Burano trip. Watching the glass making in Murano was really interesting too.

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!

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!

The walk was very nice. We liked that it was through small channels, because it is quieter. Our very friendly guide and he was talking about the environment at all times. We liked it a lot . We recommend it

Private 30-minutes gondola ride was fantastic. Such a magical way to see Venice!

We had a delightful ride with Diario. He was so proud of his family’s legacy and we were excited to hear the details of his fathers work. We rode in his family’s 32 year old gondola and he even pointed out his fathers home. It was fun to hear the gondoliers banter while riding the canal. It’s a very quick ride under the bridge of sighs and back again. Time flies when you’re having fun!

I’ve traveled a lot, but never really used a guided tour like this one. What an amazing experience Anthony provided for us! Engaging stories, excellent driving, extreme patience, and outstanding wit made our tour an easy way to experience the Scottish Highlands in just a few days. The trip was well-planned in the number, type, and activities available at each site. Loads of fun and even great back up plans when traffic issues required a detour on the third day. Highly recommended!

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.

Tomaso was a great tour guide, sailing through the canals of Venice was a once in a lifetime experience. Not cheap but I would definitely recommend everyone do it Amazing!!

Had a wonderful tour with Gabriela. Thank you for the many beautiful impressions from the island of Murano!

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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 )

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.

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

Already on the boat trip by taxi to Murano, our guide Giovanna explained a lot of interesting things about Venice and the origin of the glass manufactories. The private tour of the glass factory was very impressive and informative. Due to the special Corona situation, the four of us were the only guests, which meant that we were looked after extremely courteously and personally. The subsequent stroll with Giovanna through Murano with a visit to two churches in which pictures by old masters were hidden on the walls, the onset of flooding due to the tide and the many stories that Giovanna knew to tell us about Murano and Venice rounded off our private tour away. A very successful trip!

Excellent day trip. We didn’t sit in the official Bernina Express panoramic train, as advertised. We rode in the regular passenger train, but in a way, this turned out to be better because we were able to pull down the windows and get a real view, smell the air, and take incredible photos without the glare - something we wouldn’t have been able to do on the panoramic train. The views were spectacular and our guide was excellent - incredibly knowledgeable and humorous. The bus driver was also very skillful and cautious as he drove us down a precarious and very narrow winding road down the mountain from St. Moritz. Bring a light jacket and light sweater, as it gets chilly up in the mountains. Highly recommend!

What an experience! This trip is our something special to remember from our visit to N. Italy! The lake cruise was so beautiful, the trip from Como to St. Moritz by bus was so thrilling, the St. Moritz views are breathtaking, and of course the Bernina train experience just WOW. 100% recommended. Special thanks to Giada, our guide, who is such a sweet person, for giving us every little detail to make this experience even more unique! And hats off to Santo, our driver, who made 6+ hours on the bus feel like nothing.

Amazing experience, I would highly recommend it to anyone planning on going. We were told the bus would collect us from the given location at 7:15 and we were told to get there at 7:00 The bus came about 5 min late which made my family doubt the company being legit. Once we got on the bus we were greeted by our tour guide sara who was very welcoming. She helped us with multiple things throughout the journey. It was around 13 hours long and we enjoyed every moment of it. The views of the alps were simply stunning, lake como also stunned us all. The food was amazing in St moritz And the chocolates were to die for. The tour guide had provided us with all the information regarding the food at the stops. Honestly sara was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for. Overall it was a 5 star experience

The trip was amazing & our guide was brilliant - really informative. The only minus I would say is that the bus did not have a toilet on, I think that when you are spending roughly 6 hours on a bus - it really should have a toilet, other than that - Brilliant trip .

We are happy with this day trip because it includes a cool boat ride, fantastic scenic train, pick up and drop in a bus, travel all day in a comfortable bus. One can easily spend full day in this trip and it's worth the price too. The guide also was very pleasant and happily showed us around.

Overall we really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. The boat ride on Lake Como was great; fun to see all the houses and learn about the lake. St. Moritz was cool, the only downside is we were there around 1pm and most of the shops were closed for their lunch time break. The train ride was cool, it’s not the official train but you can open the windows so you can take better pictures. The tour guide highlighted any significant thing we went past. Would recommend this tour if your want to see some sights outside of Milan.

The weather forecast was rain and we could have been warned to bring raincoats or water repellent shoes. Most of us had clothes and shoes that got wet. I managed to buy a small umbrella from a hawker, but still got wet as it was windy. I was looking forward to a hot drink but cafe was closed. You can imagine reaching very cold St Moritz with damp trousers and wet shoes. We could have been warned on email before the trip to be prepared in case of rain as it was a long walk from the bus to the boat. Tourist guide did not manage our expectations. Also the tourist guide’s English was incomprehensible and vocabulary limited. She would say something in English and switch immediately to Spanish where she was more comfortable in. You could tell she was struggling. Not enough knowledge so we missed out a lot of important facts and info. The radio to listen to her was not working.

It was a very smooth and seamless tour! The travel via bus was very safe and comfortable. The Lake como boat ride was very beautiful. The St.Moritz and Bernina Express was stunning! I am so happy and thankful that i took this tour :) The tour guide was very accommodating and looked after us very well too. It was really a very good and safe trip for a solo traveller like me. Very safe!

A very well organised trip. There's a lot of sitting involved (coach, boat, train) but you get beautiful and scenic views as promised. St Moritz was a bit of a disappointment, would rather explore Como area for a bit longer but understand it would have been difficult to manage timewise. All in all, worth both your time and price - would definitely do it again.

The trip was Amazing!! The guide sara was professional, knowledgeable and a nice person. The trip started in Lake Como then we took a boat to verena and then by bus to st Mortiz in Swizerland where we took the red train where we saw a really beautiful views that felt unreal.

Excellent. Even though it was raining in Como the view was spectacular. Driving through the Morjola pass was extremely scary but one of the most beautiful and scenic experience. The stop in St Moritz was a good break. I had one of the most delicious tasting hot chocolate ever and I regret not buying two of the pastries. The Bernina Express train through the Swiss Alps was everything and thanks to Andre who provided the background and history throughout the entire trip. Highly recommended.

The overall package was a good experience. Make sure to pack a snack if you aren't able to get breakfast before leaving; there is several hours before you stop for a meal break. A lot of time on the bus but the train ride back from St Moritz is beautiful.

Fantastic, friendly and knowledgable tour guide called Laura Antonucc! She was engaging, entertaining yet highly informative and captivating. We got through security swiftly and missed the queues. They meet you at bottom of the Arc de Constantine. Would highly recommend!

Our guide was Lorenzo, very knowledgeable guide, took us almost 4 hours on his wonderful tour around archeology area, palatine hill and colosseum. This was perfect tour to meet and understand this part of Rome and get to know a lot about history. Highly recommended for visitors

Sonya was a great tour guide. We were surprised by the amount of knowledge she shared about the colosseum, forum and Palentine hill. The tour started at the lower subway station and ended on top of the palentine hill. The colosseum is a busy place and with the small group we were able to circle around and see photos and other documents that showed the area in its height.

The colosseum is something amazing to see. So rich in history and a definite must if you’re in Rome. Overall, our guide was good and very knowledgeable as he used to be an archeologist working on the site, however , he did speak a bit too fast and our ear pieces kept getting interference with other guides. Aside from that, an awesome activity for sure.

We found the whole experience very pleasant. The meeting point was convenient and easy to find. The guide was very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. We preferred the Colosseum part of the experience more than the forum part but that was just personal preference and why we had booked the tour in the first place. We learned some things we'd never known before and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.

The tour and guide were great and entertaining. The guide had a good knowledge of the three areas and helped us to avoid the crowds. The tour included the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and ended in the Forum, quite a bit of walking but it was interesting and well presented. The guide stopped us regularly to suggest photograph locations and for water stops... which was helpful.

Our guide Maria was amazing, She went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. Very funny and knowledgeable and got the information across while keeping you interested. Ocassionally the headset we used wasnt clear or cut out but that could just be due to the distance where the group got briefly split in crowds

We booked 2 mo in advance for a 12:55 tour. A few days before, we were contacted asking us if we could move to 11 am - presumably consolidating 2 tours. That was fine, but be aware they might change on you, so you need to provide contact information on a device you’ll have turned on (we’re from USA so my phone was off, my husband’s was on). We booked a 10 person or less (and paid extra) but there were 14 on the tour. The public lines were long, and this tour doesn’t skip most of them - due to All Saints Day and the holiday. When you plan, don’t go on a holiday!! To the tour: we had Laura who was a native Roman & she was fantastic!! Our tour was in English and she had a great Roman history background, told info from a native POV, & great command of the English language. We would’ve never known what we were looking at & the historical significance of the Roman Forum or Colosseum without her!!! She kept the tour moving, showed relevant and interesting points, & was very personable.

It was a good tour, but it's really not just a Colloseum tour. Was more like an hour on Palatine Hill, an hour at the Forum and 30 minutes at the Colloseum - partly due to issues with security for one of the group. We did end in the Colosseum though and could stay as long as we wanted afterwards. Having done Pompeii the week before with an archaeologist guide, we had a good understanding of Roman times which was useful. Being in Rome itself is overwhelming so it's nice to just follow a guide a round and look at a few bits and get some chat. No idea how much queue time we saved by using the group fast track - groups enter at a different gate than non-groups and we never saw the queue on the other side. It was all efficient and quick for the tours though - but don't bring a scooter for your kid as it won't get in!

Laura L. Was great! Super knowledgeable, nice and funny. She related history to current times. She made everything easy to understand and had great photos to share of what the original buildings looked like. She kept if fresh and friendly while keeping historical accuracy at the forefront. She helped us navigate to the lift so we could get to the top floor of the Colloseo. And she told us the actual name of the building!

Having a guide is excellent both for understanding how the Colosseum was built and how it fit into the history of Rome as well as simply helping navigate the structure and crowds. It’s helpful to be able to take your time looking at details and imaging how things were, with good narration.

The tour was great and walked through a lot of historical sites of Rome. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and explained in depth about various parts of the history of Rome + archeological sites and such. I would recommend this tour, very cool and informative!

We are glad we did the tour. We aren’t your people but we learned about things we wouldn’t have and it made entry to all the tourist sites easy especially the last supper. We were given 30 mins at sforza castle to wander, use bathrooms and get drinks which was a nice touch. I was worried about the group tour but it wasn’t a large group (10 people) and everyone was very respectful of each other’s space, etc.

This was an excellent tour - the guide was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. There were 12 people on the tour, all of whom were given listening devices so it was easy to hear the guide as she walked. The tour was about three and a half hours, including ample time inside the duomo and the maximum allowed (15 minutes) viewing the Last Supper. I'm very glad that I chose this tour.

Our guide was excellent! She spoke great English and was extremely knowledgeable and always checking to make sure we were all doing okay as it was a hot day. She allowed us to have a bit of free time to grab water and sit down. I highly recommend this tour!!

We had an amazing time! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave great insight into the historical part of Milan, as well as the modern day life of locals. We were lucky to be the only people in the group and it turned out to be a VIP tour. Our guide even explained us the little details about certain palazzos and construction of the city. I would recommend anyone who is visiting Milan to even take this tour twice!

Katerina Panayotova was excellent. Knowledgeable, considerate, good sense of humor. Duomo: had new insight to stained glass, statutes, history. Same for Last Supper. Pointed out symbols that DaVinci used in the painting. History, restoration. Same for castle and pointed out things/buildings as we walked through area. Learned so much. Wish I had taken tours before in other cities. Highly recommend this guide and company

Fantastic tour, definitely worth taking. Elisa, our tour guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable on all things related to the Duomo, Galleria, Sforza Castle and finally the Last Supper which her detailed explanation given of DaVinci’s thought process and execution was really the icing on the cake. Well worth the expense. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk for the approximate 3 hrs as you traverse Milan.

We had the best day and tour of the beautiful city of Milan with Simon as our guide. His insight and knowledge of the city was incredibly valuable as we toured the Duomo, Last Supper and the Sforza Castle. It was one of the highlights of our Italy trip, and a memory we will never forget. Thank you Simon for sharing your expertise with us!

We met Simone, our Guide fifteen minutes before the tour started and we were handed our audio guides. A couple of people were late and Simone waited a few minutes after the starting time to see if they would arrive before we set off. It was a great tour and we saw all the major sights of Milan with the highlight of seeing The Last Supper at the end. Everything was incredible and despite the busyness of the City Simone looked out for everyone and adjusted things slightly to accommodate a few, who wished for a break. He was so knowledgeable, informative and enthusiastic. We couldn't have imagined a better Guide and would like to thank him for providing us with a wonderful morning in central Milan.

I really enjoyed my tour with Mariska. She was very knowledgeable and energetic. She kept the group interacted and provided many details on the history and background of Milan and the visited places during the tour. She was also very helpful in proving provided information that was unrelated to our tour. 3.5hr tour flied by ai quickly.

Meeting point was easy to find, the guide was on time and very knowledgeable. The only thing I would remind people who sign up to go to the bathroom and have their shoulders covered before coming to the meeting: we wasted some time for people having to go and buy shawls and having to go to the bathroom on the way.

Marikha was an excellent tour guide. She knows so much about the history of Milan and is so passionate. I loved how she turned us all in the characters to help us u d’état and the history of the castle we visited. Even my teenage boys enjoyed it. The Last Supper is a must see and we took a stroll through many major sites in Milan. One of the best tours we did during our time in Italy.

The Guide was excellent. She spoke perfect English and had a depth of knowledge and enthusiasm unlike other guides we encountered in Europe. The only minor issue was, no one in the group knew the tour would last 4 hours. I thought we were going into the Duomo then to see the Last Supper. Of the 4 hours, 3 hours spent walking and walking, and walking, from The Duomo through the entire arts district (and not stopping to see anything). After 3.5 the group finally got to the beautiful painting which made the grueling 93 degree heat, walking about 5+ miles worth it.

Great trip, excellent guide (experienced and very knowledgeable) and coach driver (especially around the narrow Italian roads!) - the day was well paced, with enough time in each location without feeling rushed. The boat cruise was nice and relaxing, with lots of interesting sights to see. My partner and I would definitely recommend this day trip out of Milan.

Had the most amazing time. Sonya - our tour guide - was absolutely amazing (as well as Luca, our driver), she kept us laughing all day, and was so knowledgeable. A really organised trip, had short tours with the group but got a lot of free time which we loved. Kept the whole trip entertaining and interesting. Would highly recommend. Definitely worth the price rather than trying to navigate it all ourselves!

The overall trip was really good - included a boat ride across Lake Como and the bus was good too. Our guide was an elder gentleman whose name I can't recall unfortunately but he was just awesome. He gave us good facts and was approachable for any information and presented well. The improvement area could be on the time allocation. The stop for lunch was at Bellagio where most of our time was spent just having lunch because of the crowds and wait time. If we had 30 mins more would have been perfect. While reducing some time at the last stop Como would have balanced this out. Not too much walking was involved but would still recommend wearing comfortable shoes as some areas are a bit steep.

It's hard to find a boat or ferry to move around Lake Como during winter. This day tour provides the private ferry service to cater to winter season. My guide, Franco, was good in explaining the various attractions. It was an enjoyable trip cover Como, Bellagio & Varenna from 8.45am to 6.15pm.

This was a fantastic tour. The itinerary was excellent. We saw so much of Lake Como, more than anticipated. The stop in Como was wonderful because despite being fall/winter it was a lively place with lots of open stores. The drive around the lake was fantastic and filled with lots of informative details, including a view of George Clooney's house from the road! The boat ride was also awesome where we saw lots of famous and beautiful villas. Bellagio and Varenna were beautiful and worthy stops despite many stores being closed for the season. Claudia was an excellent tour guide who not only provided seamless sightseeing information for Lake Como in both English and Spanish, but also a lot of great information for Milan. Giorgio was a great driver and ensured we got to/from our destinations safely. This was a highlight of our time in Milan and Europe. Will definitely want to return to Lake Como for a longer trip thanks to this visit. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was friendly and knowledge and the coach was comfortable and clean although the WiFi wasn’t working that day. The only thing I would change is to have a bit more time in Varenna so it is not as rushed and get back to Milan at the 11 hour mark. I highly recommend the tour. The boat rides on Lake Como were my favorite part.

Great experience, amazing day trip with a great tour guide. we could see the villa from House of Gucci from the boat cruise. The tour stopped at Verenna, Bellagio and Como. The coach was comfy, the cruise experience was great too. We also got the chance to eat local food which was truly amazing. 100% recommended!!

Franko our guide was friendly and informative. Very good manner. Disappointing that our “ English” spoken tour that i choose ended up being combined with a Spanish speaking tour. It meant that the guide has to be economical with information to then be able to say the same in Spanish. Not ok. I did receive Email the day before informing me that it might happen…. But it shouldn’t happen.

The bus was very comfortable, and the drive was beautiful as well. I really liked Franco, our guide. He did a really good job of explaining everything in English and Spanish. Lake Como is a fantastic place, even in the winter(which is when I went), so must be best in the summer. Very picturesque. Food in Bellagio is excellent, albeit slightly expensive compared to what you get in Milan City. The trip was worth it, covering multiple locations.

A wonderful day trip! Our guide Sara was so lovely! And our driver too! We were so lucky with the weather. The day was planned very well so we really got to see Lake Como in a day, something that would have been very complicated for us to do on our own!

The trip was well organized and we saw a lot over the day (I doubt we would be able replicate this trip on own own). Everything was well organized andwe saw beutiful places. The only thing I would change is spending less time in Como and more time in Bellagio and Varenna (beautiful towns)

It's really worth the money! We never do guided tours since we prefer to have full control of our touristic schedules. That's why we wanted to plan this trip by our own, but decided to try the tour thanks to some reviews here. It was surprising to realize during the tour how difficult it could had been to recreate the same experience by our own. Specially because of the transportation logistics. The tour helps you seize the time way much better, since it's personalized and private. The only thing we didn't love was the time spent at Como. Even though we visited an important building, the free time there was basically worth it only if you wanted to do shopping. We would had deeply preferred to spend more time at Varenna, since we got there at lunch time and had to spent almost the entire free time at a restaurant. This was due to a logistic change: the tour was supposed to visit Como first, but in our experience we traveled in the opposite order, arriving Varenna first and Como last.

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)

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.

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 !

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.

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.

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!!! Interessante la visita didattica sulla lavorazione manuale del vetro nei forni artigianali. Però non capisco perché viene indotto lo shop in negozi interni con dei prezzi altissimi, anche nelle botteghe della piazza interna del paese. Il paradosso è che nei bazar lungo il percorso di arrivo a Venezia zona ponte Rialto , i prezzi dei bicchieri di Murano, identici a quelli che abbiamo comprato sull'isola, sono inferiori di 3 euro a pezzo. Ne sarebbe venuto uno gratis su cinque. Che delusione!!!

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

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

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.

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.

"We so enjoyed this tour. We could sit back and enjoy the ride. Our tour guide was friendly and so helpful. The side trip to Naples was a nice surprise to the trip. Our lunch was very good. "

"We enjoyed this tour very much. We were staying in Rome. We met at the meeting point and took the bus which was very comfortable and cool stopping for a break and driving through the beautiful city of Naples. Pompei was amazing. We will definitely plan to return as one day is not enough for Pompei. We recommend this tour to everyone. "

"The trip was very well organized, with stops on the way for a break, and to view the bay of Naples, the surrounding islands and Mt. Vesuvius. The guide in Pompeii was excellent, and he provided important information. I would have preferred to be 20 min. longer in the excavations, rather than in the Cameo shop. "

"Great experience.. everyone was helpful and we all had a great time. special thanks to our driver Johnny who was great and took us safely.. our coordinator Alessandro who was perfect in managing the whole event. and our guide Umberto who was a phenomenal guide with immense knowledge of the history of Pompeii! highly recommend "

"We enjoyed our trip to Pompeii very much. Our two guides were amazing as well as our driver. Lunch was good and it was nice to see how cameos are made. "

"Booking was easy, bus on time, guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. Bus was comfortable. The only disappointment was lunch. We were in Italy, Naples no less and it was not the best. Beer was warm and the experience was very “tour for the masses” like. "

"Very punctual, friendly. Rosa is very warm and takes care of all the details. Bruno, the Pompeii guide, is also very attentive and knows very well both the history of Naples and Pompeii itself. It was an excellent and unforgettable trip. Totally recommended. It's all day, you leave at 7:30 am and return at 7:30 pm, but it's well worth the effort to go. "

"Great day! Bus was waiting at pick up point and was nice and clean. The guide spoke good English just took a bit to get used to her accent/pronounsiations. The stop halfway was really nice for a coffee. You need to pay at the till for what you want then take your receipt to the counter to order. The restaurant we stopped for lunch was just outside the ruins of Pompeii. We had a choice of pizza a drink and ice-cream which were all very good as we were hungry. Next onto the tour of Pompeii our guide for this was very passionate and very knowledgeable. It was a very hot day but she kept us interested and engaged. We had some free time at the end to visit the museum which was quite sad. Then we headed back to Rome with a toilet stop at the same place as before. The time seemed to go fast and soon we were back in Rome. I would highly recommend this tour 100% "

"Bus was comfortable, enjoyed the short walking tour in Naples. Good pizza for lunch. Before entering the Pompei ruins we were taken to a jewellery making area with shops selling jewellery. This was a waste of time for me but perhaps others enjoyed it. The ruins themselves are amazing. Tour guides excellent. All in all a worthwhile trip "

this was a great trip, well worth the money. out Guide Emmanuel was able to smooth down the 3 hours travel time (one way) providing us with all kind of information and jokes. he was the best indeed. Pompeii is a great place to visit. so is the vesuvius

Our guide on the bus was amazing, checking on everyone, lots of communication, our guide around Pompeii was funny and full of information he really made the day that but more memorable, the hike up Vesuvius was something we will never forget even though walking up in the heat can be a big deterrent keep going it’s worth it when you’re up there and it is possible in the time given! I do not recommend the pizza place for lunch, the staff were rude and the food was not of good quality in my opinion! It’s was burnt and hard! Also if you can’t stop for souvenirs in Pompeii they do have them in shops up Vesuvius

Great tour! It is a long day, with a lot of time spent on the bus but our guide Eriga used the journey to give us some great information about pompei, the various areas we passed and Italy in general. She also knew when to let people relax and sleep. We got a guided tour of pompei, that included ear pieces which was great. We then had lunch which you could get yourselves or join the group for a meal organised by the guide. Finally we did a hike to look at the crater of the volcano. The tour was a large group (full coach) with a mix of solo, couples, and families.

Simply brilliant.... We were a little worried about the amount of time traveling but we need not have been. The whole day was a fabulous experience, Pompeii is something I had only ever heard about at school, the scale was breathtaking. Never realised how big it was. The trip to Vesuvius.....another level. The walk to the top whilst not for the faint hearted was well worth the effort. Glad to say we both made it and the views were incredible. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

It is quite the day. Pompeii is very interesting and the guides try to not run into each other too much. Vesuvio is a uphill walk that is doable, but in the given time a challenge for not so fit people. But worth the hike! We had a great guide that made it all entertaining and interesting. I am glad I went.

This was a fab trip made even better with our wonderful tour guide Rob and amazing driver Julio. The bus was comfortable and air conditioned. The itinerary was great we stopped at a road side cafe with beautiful pastries and then continued onto Pompeii where we met with our brilliant tour guide Willy ( very funny man) . Rob organised lunch for us and most of the people on the bus for a very cheap price and the food was lovely . Then we drove on to mt Vesuvius . It was a wonderful trip so well organised and easy for us considering we were coming from Rome. Rob was great he was entertaining without being too much in your face. He checked on everyone constantly and gave great tips for restaurants etc around Rome. I would like to have Rob on every excursion. Our driver Julio was excellent he navigated those roads up mt Vesuvius like a true pro.

The guide, Emiliano, was outstanding. He was friendly, funny and really informative. Could not ask for better. The tour of Pompeii was too rushed and we missed out on a lot and not given sufficient time for photos. The bus driver was amazing. Just wish we had better weather on the mountain.

Brilliant experience and couldn’t fault the tour from start to finish. It’s a long day but you can sleep on the coach. The day is well planned and you stop once each way for refreshments and toilet breaks etc. Both Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius were unreal and are a must if you have a spare day in Rome. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience, it just doesn’t hit you until you actually walk those streets, Pompeii is so powerful and sad. The trek was great but very hot, wear very comfortable shoes as the ground is uneven, I wouldn’t wear sandals. They have sticks to help walk up with, but don’t really Need them. Barbara was our guide and was brilliant, very informative, funny and friendly. The best guide I have ever had. Our driver Antonio was an super driver, getting us easily up those high and tight corners to Vesuvius. Overall recommend this trip highly, so glad we got to do it, despite the burning heat. Get an umbrella for sun block before you go, makes a lot of difference

The whole trip (21/08/22) was excellent from start to finish and that’s because our host Erika was amazing. We learnt so much information from her and her knowledge was outstanding. Erika’s humour made the trip fun and gave me lots of laughs that helped break the journey up. We felt very welcome and that was so much appreciated. Erika was funny, happy and approachable and the driver Joseph did a super job getting us to our destinations. My only regret was that I had no more small change to give as tips because it was my last day in Rome. I must also add that I did this same trip back in August 2016 and I trust to company to deliver. Thank you Erika for being an excellent guide. Donna

I loved this trip! A very easy and fun way to get to Pompei and Vesuvius. We made stops for snacks and lunch (very affordable) too so we didn’t need to bring much. Our guides were cheerful, calm, and organized. I really appreciated the balance of sharing information on the bus and leaving silence for us to relax in.

A good and compact way to get to know the lagoon and its islands. 1 hour for Torcello was too short for us.

Perfect trip to see the most beautiful places in Venice. The stops are good enough to get a few drinks and food.

Very nice visit to the 3 islands, even if Torcello did not have much interest. 2 large groups of about thirty people take 3 different boats at 10min intervals, so it's crowded. The very limited and fairly basic explanations are given on the boat, each sentence in the 5 different languages. It was however well organized, but very touristy.

It was a nice experience, getting to know another part of Venice. Very well organized, it was worth it.

Everything works, just finding it with the switch is such a thing

The glass factory tour at Murano and the colorful houses at Burano are amazing! This is definitely the best deal for the buck to visit all the three islands.

Frankly at the top nothing to say the guide explains very well she is bilingual and it is very well guided he puts signs for the return of free time on the islands so that we do not lose it I recommend

Everything was super organized on the boat, but a bit crowded. Finding a meeting place was very difficult. You have to look very closely, but not so easy with the crowds because the stand is very small.

Great value for money, fantastic experience, easy to find departure point, nice staff, everything has been clearly explained regarding how much time we've got on each island which are well worth visiting. Do not hesitate- book it!

We visited the islands for the first time and honestly we were very happy we did it with Marinella !!! All really pleasant and comfortable respecting the right distances and without big crowds. Thank you all very professional

Very pleasant cruise your hostess Isabelle is very friendly I recommend it

A very good tour and worth the money. Murano is beautiful and glass making and shop are excellent. Burano is lovely and lively. Torcello is nice, but quite a walk from boat to church and not much time there. Overall, a fab day out!

Great guide and the islands of Murano and Burano were magnificent!

Very nice private tour away from the hustle and bustle of the main part of Venice.

We liked the tour alot. The weather was great Our guide Martina was outstanding and gracious!

The trip was in a beautifully restored fishing boat - a picture perfect way to spend several hours exploring the other islands. Watching glass blowing on Murano was fascinating, but you do need to be strong to resist the underlying pressure to spend money in the shop afterwards. Burano with its colourful houses was simply stunning and Torcello was so peaceful, it seemed to offer the perfect escape from the pressures of our busy lives. Our guide was charming and unobtrusive - I would definitely recommend this as a great way of exploring the smaller islands.

Our guide Katy was absolutely amazing. She was gracious and knowledge. She made every stop feel special.

Selina was a very special guide. She was informative, patient, very good English and so attentive to us. The boat was great. We loved every minute. This trip helped us to understand and appreciate these islands and their importance to Venice.

A beautiful RIVA type boat, all in wood, much better than the photo ;-)) The guide was great, full of anecdotes, attentive and discreet at the same time. Seeing Venice from the lagoon and the Grand Canal is an experience in itself, in addition to the interest of the other cities visited. Murano: for its glassmakers Burano: for its pretty colored houses To do ABSOLUTELY !!

Beautiful day ! We were welcomed at the point established by mr. Manola, an exquisite person, prepared and extremely available, who accompanied us throughout the tour. First stop on the island of Murano: visit to the glass factory. Mr. Fabio, very kind, explained to us step by step the demonstration of a master glassmaker who created three beautiful objects for us. After a pleasant walk on the island we took the boat and went to Burano Manola, our super guide, made us visit the island by telling us and showing us a lot of interesting things After circumnavigating the island of Torcello (we chose not to go down) we returned to Venice enjoying the spectacle of the setting sun Beautiful, well organized, highly recommended experience, which we will definitely do again! a special thanks to Manola who made our trip special !!

"An absolutely amazing experience! Went on this wine tour with my mom and sister for my Mom’s 60th birthday! Our tour guide Raffael absolutely made the trip outstanding. He was lots of fun and very knowledgeable! He gave us information about Florence, Tuscany, and the wineries and wine. We went to three different beautiful wineries. Lunch at the second winery was perfect and delicious! The wines were so outstanding that we shipped wine back home to the United States! The stop in Greve was nice and we enjoyed checking out the main town of Chianti. Everyone was so friendly. Our bus ride and driver were great! The scenery at the last winery was absolutely gorgeous. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Highly highly recommend!! "

"Lucky me I was part of an amazing group of people during this day trip! The guide was sweet, goofy, knowledgeable, approachable, profissional, I honestly have no words to thank Leonardo for the amazing wines we tasted today. I totally recommend this experience. "

"This experience was the best one I had in Italy. It is worth all the money. Violeta was our guide and she is the most kind, amazing and knowledgeable guide ever. We learned a lot about the city and she even helped us at the end of the experience to find a taxi and stayed with us until it came. "

"We loved this tour! The group size was probably around 20 people and it was really fun talking to other couples and friends on their trip as most were in the same age range (20s-30s). Our tour guide Leo made the tour so interesting and made us laugh a lot while also sharing so much of his knowledge of wines and Tuscany. My boyfriend and I agreed this was our favorite part of our Italy trip and we would recommend this tour (and Leo!) to any wine lover. 10/10 "

"Excellent tour visiting 3 wineries in Chianti region, lunch at one. Finding the start point was easy, very well looked after by Lorenzo all day, but not smothered. Max was an excellent driver in a comfortable air conditioned bus. The tours were informative, and well paced. Nice to be able to try their olive oils too. Lunch at Casa Emma was delicious, and they catered for vegetarians, allergies etc. Also had a short stop in Greve in Chianti, enough for a drink and stretch of the legs. An excellent day out. Do it! "

"Leonardo was amazing! We went to 3 wineries and learned a lot of history along the drive: Fattoria San Michele a Tori (Alicia was a great host), then ate lunch and paired with wines at Casa Emma (Julia was also a great host), had a brief stop at Greve in Chianti for gelato, and finally Poggio Torselli (Matteo was a great host). The views and experience was fantastic! I highly recommend booking this adventure. "

"This was a 5 star plus trip & so well worth the money. The vineyard visits were informative & interesting. The wine, oil & balsamic tasting was wonderful in addition to the tasty lunch. They Tour Guide, Leo was not only a smooth gentle driver on the windy countryside roads but also a constant Sony of interesting information about the wine, the countryside, the local history etc as well as serenading us with his guitar. A fabulous day all round. Thank you "

"We had a great day tasting many different Chianti-wines whilst getting introduced to the wineries process on making the wine. We also got to taste different olive oils and had a tasty lunch at Casa Emma. Our guide, Rafael, was really knowledgeable and nice. can definitely recommend this tour "

"Disclaimer that I am a wine noob, but this tour was excellent. Exceeded expectations. The wineries were gorgeous, the wine was great (to my untrained palette), and our tour guide and driver were fantastic. It's also nice that the wineries can arrange to ship their products to your home (depends on your home country, though). Couldn't recommend this enough. "

"Great wineries. I feel like the second winery Casa Emma was the best of the bunch. Our tour guide and the driver created a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for the entire tour. The ""special surprise"" at the end was very enjoyable. We had 20 people on the tour and I found that to be a good amount of people. All in all everything was well paced and felt relaxed. Having said all that I feel like the amount of wine we received was a bit too little. "

"We absolutely loved the wineries and our host, Violeta. From both we learned plenty about The Tuscan winemaking process and got to visit different winemakers and taste local food, with plenty of wine provided at each tasting and time to stop in Greve between stops "

"Great trip great guide great driver. For us best wine was Casa Emma and the view from the final stop breathtaking definitely one of many highlights. It’s an early start with first wine served around 10/10:30 so would have been nice to get a coffee and croissant at start of day ahead of the wine tasting. Would definitely recommend "

The guide was so knowledge and very assisting so was the men on staff

Great guide - great tour! Would highly recommend to get an overview of Venice.

Leo was an excellent host on the water taxi tour. He obviously has a passion for Venice and a good knowledge of the sites and history.

It was a great opportunity to become acquainted with Venice and its landmarks. The guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. If it is your first time in Venice, it is worth taking this tour.

If there is only time for one activity during your visit to Venice then make it a tour of the Grand Canal.

We thought that our mobile digital ticket was enough. It was not. We had to change it into a paperticket before boarding. That should not have been necesarry. The tour itself was fine. But a bit difficult to hear the guide speaking when we were sitting at the back.

worth the money.. on a lighter note, English with Italian accent was interesting.. :-)

Very worthwhile. Had a very good English speaking guide on a 1 hour canal tour of Venice with a group of 8 people. Highly recommended!

Great tour through the great canal. A perfect explanation of the buildings along the canal and the secret gardens. A well spent hour! I would recommend to arrive 10 to 15 mins earlier.

Great guide Elizabeth, and nice attitude as well as boat driver! Enjoyed the tour very much! Definitely recommend

The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The water taxi windows were filthy so it was very hard to enjoy the sights through those windows. That was really disappointing. My husband and son fell asleep inside the boat and my daughter and I enjoyed it while we were standing outside and able to see.

Great tour! Perfect way to see the Grand Canal. Our guide was excellent. Highly recommend!
