Our tour guide Andrea was wonderful. He helped us learn about Venice's rich history and pointed out things it was helpful for us to know for exploring on our own the other days we were there. The gondola ride at the end was a real treat as well. A lot of information packed into the time we had together. Would highly 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!!

A nice short orientation to a small section of Venice. The pace is fast with the guide walking a talking. Loved the history and the details about how people manage to live in the city especially when it rains!

This was a fun walking tour of Venice. The streets can be like a maze, so it was helpful to have a guide. Our guide (I forget his name) was very funny and personable. Very dry sense of humor, which I loved. And the gondola tour is fun. It’s something that you kinda just have to do while in Venice.

Our tour was good. 5 star to our walking tour guide. derive a star for Gondola, not a word from our Gondola driver/guide. The process for getting our tickets was different than any other tours we have done. Confusing and a snippy gal at the window
