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

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!!

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.
