Our sunset gondola ride with on board singer and accordion player was nothing short of a dream come true. It met every expectation and checked off one of my bucket list items. Highly recommended if you have ever dreamed of having the true Venice experience.

Sandra was amazing. She was full of knowledge. I wish we could have spent more time in the church instead of the doge area. They called us the day before to change time of tour. We agreed but it did cause us to have to rush to dinner. The toilet and shopping time is too short so we didn’t get to buy a book. Very good guide thank you

Great tour through the great canal. A perfect explanation of the buildings along the canal and the secret gardens. A well spent hour! I would recommend to arrive 10 to 15 mins earlier.

The guide was amazing and narrated everything in 5 languages all day! The weather was not great--rainy and cold--but that could not be helped. I understand that we were trying to take in a lot of sights in one day, but it did at times feel very rushed.

Overall, the tour was a positive experience, mainly due to the excellence of our guide, Rebecca, who was very informative and patient. The Doges Palace part of the tour was wonderful but, unfortunately, my enjoyment of the Basilica tour was negatively affected by the swarms of people and the constant lining up, despite the 'jump the line' aspect of the package.

This was a very good tour. To watch the glass blowing was amazing. The glass blowers are so skilled in their work. The lace produced was so beautiful and such delicate work. The coloured houses were so pretty and gave real character to the island. Our guide was very good and had a lot of knowledge. A must do tour.

Emi is an amazing host, he knows the waterways extremely well and provided us with area history. He was courteous and professional, we spent 3 hours on the tour and he dropped us off close to our hotel, he is a great guy to tour with, we will do this again on our next trip!

Thomaso was an excellent guide. He was so stressed as 3 of our party were late & he was so apologetic, we ended up leaving after waiting 15 minutes for these people who said they were 5 minutes away. Apart from that, which was down to those people who have no problem making others wait, it was one of our best experiences during our stay. Thomaso was good fun, so knowledgable & shouldn’t do enough for us. We would highly recommend this trip. Our photos are amazing. We met a lovely German family & a great guy from New York on the trip. The Prosecco was really good quality too.
