Mareta T.
Great walking tour. Only bad point was that the meeting point was wrong in the voucher and we had to make several phone calls to meet the guide. The meeting point was given for large groups and not for small, private groups. They meet at the Venice Tours office. As compensation, the tour went much longer than the planned 2 hours.

The only downside is that the guide was too pressed. Generally interesting visit. The gondola ride lacked explanations

Excellent guide, very clear explanations, about the streets and how to guide yourself by looking at the indications, it was very useful for the rest of the trip. The communication with the headphones allowed those of us who wanted photos to stay a little behind without losing detail of the information.

We did the tour with the guide Francesco and it was great. It was important to him to reach each individual in the group with his explanations and he showed us beautiful corners far away from the tourist streets. The guided tour was in English and he has such a clear pronunciation that you don't need to be fluent in English to understand him. Of course, it also helped a bit that he accompanied the explanations with his sympathetic Italian manner. We learned a lot about the history of Venice that day and would always book a guided tour with Francesco. As a guide we give him 5 stars. Thank you Francesco :)

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!!

Very interesting visit focusing on life in Venice, around the St-Marc district, with a dynamic and friendly guide, speaking very good French, knowing her subject perfectly and eager to draw the attention of tourists to the particularities that characterize the city and the life of the Venetians, in particular on the management of high tides, the architecture, the maintenance and the renovation of the buildings, the problems which the city must face, etc… We were 6 people for the visit in French this morning of September 25. To recommend.

Was a top tour guide who brought the most important key points about Venice over well in the short time - and also places that you don't get to see otherwise - and it was an exciting tour. I can only recommend the guided tour in the morning, as there are still relatively few tourists around at this time.

the first guide Valentina was very good and very kind, she explained very well and answered all the questions of the members of the group in a quick and targeted way. very good. the second guide, Alessandra, who accompanied us before the gondola ride, is a marvel, fantastic, funny and very friendly. he brilliantly conducted an Italian/French tour switching from one language to another with impressive ease! we are definitely satisfied
