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.

Walking tour was excellent. Guide spoke very good English, and was enthusiastic and informative. Walking tour was approx 1 hr 15 minutes long and got to see and learn about things you would otherwise not know. Would definitely recommend this in addition to just the Gondola ride as the extra cost is quite small.

Definitely must do as we learnt so much about the history of Venice and got to see snippets of this incredible labyrinthine that only a local would know! Our guide, Fredericka, was wonderful'

We always enjoy learning about the place we're visiting, especially when we're in a small group and away from the massive crowds. The guide did a remarkable job keeping us entertained and away from the crowds.

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.

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!

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.
