An experience that should be lived at least once in a lifetime. Exciting, suggestive. I lived it with husband and children, and we were all enchanted

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.

Really enjoyed our gondola ride! The meeting point was easy to locate with our map, the tour guide was there 10 mins before start time. All well organised and efficient. The actual ride lasted for 25 minutes, which felt like long enough and was good value for money. Really pleased we booked this, the highlight of our day in Venice!

I liked being able to get off the train and going right to the kiosk to get my tickets. There was a line for vaporetto tickets. It would have been cheaper to buy in person if I'd been willing to wait in line.

First of all Nicole was amazing, a true historian. She shared a lot of stories on our round trip to both islands. Muranos factory I was a little hesitant about but, it’s a labor of love that has been on going for centuries. If you can please go. Burano was absolutely beautiful even in the rain. The second leaning building don’t miss it.

I loved the 15min commentary prior to the ride and wish that was longer. The boats seated 4 so we were with another couple. The Gondolier smiled when he saw us taking selfies that he was in the background on, so cute! Great value for the money

The boat tour was interesting. The big minus point was that the toilet was locked (supposedly due to technical problems). However, the staff used them without any problems.

I loved everything about this tour! St. Mark's Basilica is stunningly beautiful and was by far my favorite Basilica out of all of the ones we saw while visiting Italy. Accessing the terrace was also a nice add to this tour as the views from the terrace really showed you the entire square. We were also able to witness the time change on the Clock Tower from the terrace which was amazing to see from the higher angle. The Doge's Palace did not disappoint either. The history of the Palace and what took place there was very interesting as well. Our guide Elena (sorry if I'm misspelling it) was excellent! She was very personable, kept a nice pace, and was very knowledgeable. I like tours with informative guides but sometimes feel the guides overload you with too much information. I felt she did a great job at balancing this by providing the information without being excessive and kept my attention throughout the entire tour. I highly recommend this tour and Elena!

It's a great activity when you don't stay long in Venice. But as it is an activity that I really liked, if I come back, I will spend more time on each island because I find that an hour with everything there is to see. It goes way too fast.
