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.

"Our tour for the 5 of us was good. 5 star to our walking tour guide. 3 stars for Gondola, not a word from our Gondola driver/guide. The process for getting our tickets was different than any other tours we have done. Confusing and a snippy gal at the window. "

Great trip. Loved the tour guide, Chiara - she was knowledgeable and did a great job. Loved the gondola ride - our only comment is that it would have been nice for the gondoliar did a little commentary. But we still had a great trip. Overall highly recommend the trip for the price.

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.
