The walking tour wasn’t that great. The guide didn’t really give too many details on the sites we were seeing. Now Ricardo, we had for all of 10 minutes walking us to the gondola ride was FANTASTIC! He told us more in 10 minutes than our 1.5 hour tour! Request him if you can!!

An essential visit to discover in 1h30 the main sites of Saint Mark's Square, and the architectural richness of the Cannaregio and Castello districts. A wealth of information to start your stay well before discovering for yourself!

The tour was great! We walked (a lot!) and explored many roads, pontes and campos. The guide explained the History of the city and also the History behind the Monuments. We had almost 2 hours break before the gondola ride, and that was not expected. By the time we Started the gôndola ride, it was already very dark.

Experience to be recommended for those who want to wander around the city and learn many curiosities at the same time thanks to the presence of a guide. Right price/quality experience! Very kind and cordial. The only flaw: I booked the tour in Italian and during the tour the guide explained things in two languages: Italian/English. A lot of time is wasted that could be invested in more exhaustive questions or explanations.

We really enjoyed the 1 1/2 hour walking tour around Venice. Our guide was easy to understand (English speaking) and we saw and learned about places and architecture that we would have missed on our own. The starting point was St. Mark's Square so we hit all the highlights and more. Would definitely recommend.

The visit took place at a pleasant pace with the guide Martina who speaks very good French, her explanations were clear, precise and very well documented. We had some difficulty finding a time slot for this visit, so we did it at the end of our stay. We think it is better to do it at the beginning of the stay to go back to already known places. The equipment provided to hear the guide well worked perfectly.

The city guide was a very personable person. Unfortunately, the wrong location was sent to me as a meeting point. This initially led to some confusion, but then cleared up. The tour shows the diversity of the city, you meander through small alleys and stand in a square again. In terms of art history, the tour could have been a little more well-founded. But a successful afternoon that left a very nice impression of Venice.
