Really informative guide with interesting facts. Small group in a busy environment but helped by the Bluetooth communication. Frederica was knowledgeable and passionate about her city.

Great trip. Loved the tour guide, Chiara - she was knowledgeable and did a great job. Loved the gondola ride - our only comment is that it would have been nice for the gondoliar did a little commentary. But we still had a great trip. Overall highly recommend the trip for the price.

We took this tour to see things other than Doge’s Palace and St Mark’s since we would be seeing those on another tour. And that is what the tour was - small backstreets with stops at interesting attractions with informed commentary from our guide. My only complaint is the audio device has poor sound quality which made it hard to understand the guide. It was better to not use it and stand near the guide whenever possible.

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.

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.
