Customer reviews of tours in Italy

Fun trying different routes to get places. Walking is probably faster, but it was relaxing to know we could always hop on the vaporetto if tired.

I booked the ticket here in advance and it worked great :) We just went to one of the yellow machines in the parking garage (Troncheto). We just had to scan the QR code and within minutes we had our tickets. So we were able to get on at the vaporetto station and off to the post office (please validate the ticket beforehand at the stations for each trip)

It´s just very comfortable to just get your ticket and then use the public transportation (water taxis) whenever you like.

This was a great way to see Venice and very convenient method to get home. Be aware that '48 hours' means midnight to midnight, not from the first time you use the voucher. the process is very easy to convert your tickets and will save you time as the manual ticket sellers can get into pfaffing mode and waste your time. if you have a ticket you just go straight through to the waiting area

Purchasing the tickets at the machine with the voucher received online takes less than a minute. It more than paid for itself for us, since the vaporettos can also be used very well for sightseeing.

The QR code on the seven day pass was not readable by the scanning machines at the waterbus stops

Despite the vouchers saying you can redeem your Venice transportation voucher at a Unica point of sale don't bother as the people I spoke to were not interested in helping. At the one outside the Venice train station the operator told me to go inside and from there I was told to use an automatic machine. Wasted 30 minutes of my life only to get shunted twice. And when you try to use the machine hopefully you will be as fortunate as I was as a local noticed me having trouble and he came to my aid. He tried the barcode at 3 machines with no luck and the 4th one we had success. So probably another piece of advice is use the PNR number. On a positive the tickets are an easy way of getting around Venice and we spent hours on the boats trawling around the waterways.

Great value for money. So convenient to be able to hop on and off the warehouses whenever the fancy took us. Visits to the outlying islands and Lido all included. Stayed in Mestre so used the tram and mainland buses daily. Highly recommended.

We arrived in Venice on 5th May 2022 until 9th. May 2022. When we arrived we got the bus from the airport to the water taxes. While paying for the 3day ticket one of our party had his wallet stolen. We did use the water taxes over the next few days unfortunately the weather was raining for three of the four days holiday which made things rather un pleasant. We visited most of the historic buildings and was very interesting best visit doges palace. I was eaten with mosquitos leaving me with itchy spots. I did not e joy the trip but the other three members enjoyed their trip.

Excellent for getting around, it's easy to get to all the islands.

Super convenient Cheaper using a 3 day pass Great for vaporreto and bus to mainland

Amazing views of the Grand Canal!! Definitely worth the money! Best to go when it’s not super sunny. I’d suggest sitting in the outside part for better views!

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

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!

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. 👍👏🏻

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.

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.

This excursion was fabulous. Nicole our guide was very polite,communicated well during the walking part of our tour and gave clear instructions throughout.The Gondola ride was peaceful,calming and picturesque. A definite recommendation if in Venice a must in fact.

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

Mattia our very welcoming gondolier. Organized well with meeting point

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!!!

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

An activity to complete your experience in Venice. Not to be missed. You will not regret it.

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

The departure location was well marked. The instructor spoke clearly, calmly and fluently in several languages (ENG, FR, IT, SP, DEU). The demonstration in the glass factory in Murano was definitely worth it. After the gift shop we didn't have time to explore the island of Murano, but we personally didn't mind. Then, a boat trip to Burano where we were allowed to walk around freely for over an hour. You must have seen this. An hour is enough time to explore the island. We highly recommend this activity!!

Very nice activity. Two pretty islands to visit. A little more time on Murano would be better.

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

Very well organized, explanation in several languages, good value for money. Worth.

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.

It is a 4-hour tour that allows you to visit Burano and a glass factory in Murano. If you have little time available it is ideal, but if you want to make a more detailed visit, another tour is better.

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.

Nice and well organized tour. Both I and the children (14 and 9 years old) appreciated it a lot. However, it would have been nice to have spent half an hour more in Burano so that you would have had time to both eat and walk around.

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

Lovely day out, glass demonstration was really interesting and there were so many lovely items to buy there. The island of Burano was beautiful too.

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

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

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

We had a lot of fun with the tour. The staff welcomed us very friendly. First we walked through the city for about 20 minutes and our guide Ricardo told us about his city of Venice with infectious enthusiasm. The city tour was very cool, but could have been longer. The focus of this tour is of course clearly on the gondola ride. It was really great too.

Brilliant. The fantastic tour guide, Rene, made this an exceptional experience. A great way to start our Venice holiday.

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

Very interesting tour. The explanation of the Grand canal due to problems with the radios is not clear, however resolved with the kindness of Claudia who made herself available to repeat it. Advised

very good organization, Ricardo was very clear and speaks French, a good activity typically Venetian and very pleasant

Excellent experience. Very very well organized. We walk along the emblematic monuments of the Grand Canal as well as the small arteries, very good value for money. Meeting point very easy to find. Do not hesitate, you really will not regret.

Absolutely loved it! Walking tour (15/20) mins to the gondola was very informative. Gondola ride just lovely, only wish it had been longer!!

We enjoyed the gondola ride. My wife and I shared with a lady with 2 children on the gondola. Impressed with the skill of the gondolier. The guide that took us to the gondola was just a filler and did not add much value. It was a large group that then got divided into different gondolas.

Was really lovely. The Gondola ride is a max group of 5 people so still felt intimate. The mini tour of San Marco was also quite informational. Definitely recommend.

I would have liked there to be 2 groups, French, then English. Too bad not to have received more info during the gondola ride. Our group's headphones weren't picking up the news towards the end on the Grand Canal.

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

Punctual timetable and meeting point near the starting canal. Friendly gondolier and excellent "guide" who explained to us the buildings we saw passing by or the events that characterized those places. Very nice experience that I recommend to do at least once to everyone

Great visit! The very nice gondolier! Well organized, I recommend

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

A great way to ride the famous Gondola with an affordable price, I don't think you lose anything from the experience. We had the best time

An entertaining gondola ride very quiet and relaxing. The 30 minutes fly by.

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.

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!

A must visit if you're touring Italy. you will not be dissappointed..although a bit crowded but worth the visit. It's a long walk so make sure your hotel is conveniently located within the cetner.

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.

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.

We arrived late due to traffic and they let us ride 2 hours late.

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.

We enjoyed the gondol ride through Venice with our gondolier who was Nice to tell us about the history and tips on where to eat, which was a great Italian restaurant.

Nice, but our gondolier seemed to be bothered by the fact that he was working and spent most of his time trying to look at his cell phone. Any attempt to try and ask him questions was met with blank stares. Glad I did it, but knowing what I know now wouldn’t be sorry if I missed it. Venice was a dream city to tour for me and what I envisioned was what you see on TV and movies. Reality is not so pretty or attractive up close with all the tourist, crowds, sanitation issues, etc.

Great experience, totally worth it to pay for the private experience, fast service, skip-the-line and easy to find. We were 4 and had a great moment on the almost 30 minutes ride.

We loved it, although Gitero Dimitri had a lot to do with it, which we found very enjoyable and friendly

Everything went well! It may be necessary to describe the meeting point in more detail.

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 gondola ride itself was fine.. good value for the money. However the gondola ‘driver’ didn’t say a thing.. was on his phone the entire ride and when asked a question he snapped an answer and went back to his phone. We stopped trying to making convo and just chatted with each other. Our friends in another gondola had a very pleasant driver from the same company. So it really depends on who you get. Overall I would recommend.

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

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

It’s not worth it to pay online, you find loads of gondoliers that are free to take you on the spot. We paid more than £100 for an evening ride and after we booked it we were walking and as the gondoliers are trying to attract you, we found one and his price was 80€ on the board but he said he can make a 20€ discount cause that was his last ride. That would have been half of what we paid online, but I couldn’t cancel anymore the reservation unfortunately…

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.

A bit difficult to find the tour manager as several groups from different tour operators were at the same dock at the same time...

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

it was perfect! the times on each island were sufficient. only downside, the guide on the way back was not the same...very strange way of speaking and we didn't understand anything. the 3 islands are superb with a favorite for Burano and its colors! You have to climb to the top of the Torcello campanile, the view is magnificent

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

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!

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.

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!!

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

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

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.

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 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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 )

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!

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

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!

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.

Absolutely fantastic. Worth every penny. Our tour guide Franco was very friendly and very knowledgeable. We also accidentally booked on the wrong day and asked to move to the correct day. The change was corrected without opposition but a €20 each penalty which we thought was fair. If you want to visit verenna, bellagio and como and see the sights along the lake then book this trip.

Overall the tour is well planned and the guide with us was very helpful and informative. However, I wish there was more time to spend in Bellagio which was the best part of the tour. The tour was ruined due to heavy rain and mist which was understandably beyond the control of the tour operator.

This trip was fantastic. Our guide, an older Italian gentleman, whom I cannot remember his name now, with a dry sense of humor that I appreciated, did a great job switching between English and Spanish throughout the day. Our driver, Lucca, was also terrific and I applaud his skill in maneuvering on some of the windy, narrow roads. Each town was unique and enjoyable to walk around and explore. Have a cappuccino and pastry in Como, lunch in Bellagio, and cafe & gelato in Varenna. Grazie mille for the tours and wonderful memories!

This trip was absolutely perfect for myself and my partner. Our guide Sonja was great and was really friendly. This tour is perfect if you want to experience each place and enjoy the free time. It’s convenient to get from place to place, learn about each place and you’re able to enjoy your time there away from being in a large group which you may usually experience on guided tours. Our guide would tell us all of the history of the places whilst we were being transported so that as soon as we were on land we were able to experience the places properly. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone as it gives you a real taste of the lake and areas. Our driver Luca was also great!

It was amazing experience .. the tour guide was very informative about each and single monumental records of Italy. The first stop was como village we spent around 75 minutes looking around the village then we went to villa Olmo we spent around 20 minutes in the park of the palace in front of the lake .. later we spent an hour in a private boat to go to Bellagio village, in bellagio we spent two amazing hours going around the village (shops, restaurant, church and the park) then we left in a public boat to Varrena we stayed for one hour .. the view was stunning and breathtaking.

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)

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.

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.

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.

This is a perfect day trip. Straight to the point and deliver what we are here to experience: 3 unique small towns and a short sightseeing in boating trip. The weather was a bit gloomy and lots of rain, but otherwise it was short, sweet, and efficient. Our tour guide and driver were excellent. Small tips, don't forget to spare cash to tip the staffs (if you want). Digital tipping is not yet accepted.

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 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!

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.

Loved this tour, our guide Francesco was very knowledgable and friendly, he gave us a good overview of the history of the colosseum, the forum and the politics of ancient Rome without leaving us overloaded with information. Joining instructions were simple and it was well organised. Only downside was the tour size of 10 was exceeded (13 were on the tour rather then the 10 advertised), and the guides were freelancers rather then employees of the company. We still had a wonderful time and would do this tour again!

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

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.

Rome Coliseum, Wow Wow Wow, definitely make sure you do the guided tour for this one, the guide Stefano was superb, really knowledgeable and the overall experience was well worth the money and time spent listening to the story, history along with bringing it all to life. – Thanks Stefano!

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

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!

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!

Thoroughly enjoyable tour of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Tour guide was knowledgeable but struggled to answer any questions which were additional to her tour information. Thank God for Google. Roman forum was lovely. Just a shame that once the tour was finished and we were left to explore the Roman Forum by ourselves, the place was closing. So we had to exit with loads still to see. Never the less I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and well worth the ticket price.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Mareka, our guide for this tour was fantastic! We saw areas of the city we wouldn’t have known about without her guidance. She was extremely knowledgeable about so many things. It was so nice to be able to skip the line for the Duomo and the Last Supper - two must see amazing sites! It was a very enjoyable 3 hours. Highly recommend!

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.

it was an amazing tour I really enjoyed it and I think that this is the best thing to do in a whole day. It was very interesting and very beautiful I saw a lot of amazing views we changed three modes of transport But at the same time we were never tired. It was an exciting journey

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.

We enjoyed a wonderful day visiting Lake Como and St Moritz on this group tour. It started with a few of us finding our way to the meeting spot and checking with one another to see if we were in the right place ... which we were. Once the tour started we quickly found our tour leader to be very experienced and informative in multiple languages of course. The were so many highlights and beautiful scenic panoramas along the way so collected lots of snaps to choose best ones for posts. The lake trip was a highlight not only for the scenery but some of the majestic if not historic homes of the rich and famous. The train ride over the mountains was something special. Special mention was the lunch we almost had in St Moritz when we ran out of time to wait for our meal. The waitress was not happy, but the train waits for no one! Thoroughly recommend this tour.

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.

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!

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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

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 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 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)

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!!!

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 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

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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 !

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

"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 "

"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 "

"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. "

"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. "

"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. "

"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. "

"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. "

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

Very good in-depth guidance. Guide had a lot of background knowledge and perfect language skills.

Cathedral is a must for every Milan visitor. Incredible building. German speaking guide was great and had a lot of interesting things to tell. At the elevator to the roof we could go straight past the queue. I can only recommend it to everyone. Meeting place was not easy to find. Plan a little more time and read the meeting point carefully on the tickets.

the trip met our expectations. The guide was perfectly prepared, a real enthusiast of what she does.

The tour is definitely worth it. Punctual start, we didn't queue anywhere, top priority, the guide explained very well and in detail. Nice from start to finish !!! I advise!!

We had a very friendly, good German-speaking tourist guide (studied historian), who was well versed in historical questions about Milan Cathedral. The subsequent visit to the cathedral terraces and the roof in the evening sun were the absolute highlight! Highly recommended!

Nice guide (Laura) conveyed the history of the cathedral very well. The cathedral is definitely worth a visit.

Our tour guide Stephanie was at the meeting place 15 minutes before and was waiting for us. She was excellent - very knowledgeable! We had an incredible tour of the Duomo. Highly recommend this tour. We started by visiting the terrace at the top, then made our way to the inside and ended at the basement. No lineups.

Simon was an outstanding tour guide, he is very knowledgeable about the Duomo’s history and pointed out the different views of the city from the rooftop. I would definitely use him again!

Our experience has been that the best time for guided tours is early in the morning. At this time not so many visitors are out and about.

We were able to visit the Duomo accompanied by Lorella who turned out to be very professional and gave us a very complete visit in which she provided a lot of very valuable information. Thank you!

Excellent guided tour of the cathedral, underground, exterior and terraces. Two pleasant and informative hours. The guide was very prepared, he talked to us with passion about the cathedral and Milan in general, providing us with directions for the evening.

Very reliable, competent and friendly guide. It was three very interesting hours in which some secrets about Milan were revealed to us. The time flew by. A must-do for those interested in history and culture. Highly recommended!

Massimo was an excellent guide. We were able to experience the history and beauty of Milan in a condensed and entertaining way. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Milano for a short trip. The guide has lots of great history and humor to share

Our tour guide, Marco, was very knowledgeable and informative. He was a great company, we enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about Milan’s history and neighborhoods. If you enjoy guided tours I would highly recommend this.

She was very knowledgeable and gave deep cultural references and historical tidbits making it a very interesting tour

Guide very interesting, lots of details. Due to the weather, we were not able to go to the Duomo platform and the tour ended 1/2 hour earlier than planned

A very pleasant visit to Milan, Valeria is a very cultured guide who helps you discover many little-known aspects of the city. I recommend ++

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.

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 !!

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

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

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!

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 !!

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.

"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 "

"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 "

"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. "

"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 "

"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. "

"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. "

"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. "

"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. "

"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 "

"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 "

"Our guide, Leo, made this trip extra special. His knowledge about history added so much depth to the whole tour. He also sang and played the guitar for us :) very lovely tour. This one tour has made me fall in love with Italy, it’s culture, it’s history, it’s food and ofcourse it’s wine :) "

"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! "
