Guide was excellent but gondola was said to be half hour but was only 20mins if that!, all seemed rushed.

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!

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.

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.

This was a fun walking tour of Venice. The streets can be like a maze, so it was helpful to have a guide. Our guide (I forget his name) was very funny and personable. Very dry sense of humor, which I loved. And the gondola tour is fun. It’s something that you kinda just have to do while in Venice.

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 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.
