Tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about Venice. Two hours isn't enough to take in everything but its a great start. The only thing that would have been appreciated is if the Gondola driver could have offered some information but was just silent the entire ride.

A lot of people for the tour, but I do have to say. For as many people in our tour group and the other one that meet at the same time. It was well organized and a pleasant experience.

Great variety of historical information away from the more touristy spots provided by the guide on the walking portion. Delightful gondola ride as well.

Excellent time spent with our guide. We discovered streets where we had not ventured alone. Very good explanations that allowed us to discover Venice differently. The gondola ride was a plus for us as we had only done one before. This walk allowed us to see other points of view because we started from another place but no comment from the gondolier.
