An essential visit to discover in 1h30 the main sites of Saint Mark's Square, and the architectural richness of the Cannaregio and Castello districts. A wealth of information to start your stay well before discovering for yourself!

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 :)

We really enjoyed the 1 1/2 hour walking tour around Venice. Our guide was easy to understand (English speaking) and we saw and learned about places and architecture that we would have missed on our own. The starting point was St. Mark's Square so we hit all the highlights and more. Would definitely recommend.

The visit took place at a pleasant pace with the guide Martina who speaks very good French, her explanations were clear, precise and very well documented. We had some difficulty finding a time slot for this visit, so we did it at the end of our stay. We think it is better to do it at the beginning of the stay to go back to already known places. The equipment provided to hear the guide well worked perfectly.

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.

The city guide was a very personable person. Unfortunately, the wrong location was sent to me as a meeting point. This initially led to some confusion, but then cleared up. The tour shows the diversity of the city, you meander through small alleys and stand in a square again. In terms of art history, the tour could have been a little more well-founded. But a successful afternoon that left a very nice impression of Venice.

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.

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.
