Reviews
Porzia D.
Friendly guide, small group therefore full of questions asked outside the executives, the guide knew his visit well and made us discover places "outside the framework" only downside visit ordered in French but done in English because French guide not available...moderately appreciated by one of us who doesn't speak the language at all...
Brigitte
Our tour guide Beatrice was very friendly. We asked for the tour in French and she was able to speak to us very fluently. she had good knowledge about the history of Venice and the gondola. The gondola ride was very fun and finished with a VR presentation of Venice. The gondolier’s were helpful for people that need help coming in and exiting the gondola! 100% recommend!
Tracy
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
Olivia A.
Fun gondola ride but the guy rowing the gondola did not speak one work and it was advertised as 30 mins was actually 15 mins max very rushed
Uwe
Tomaso was simply brilliant and the tour to the different islands when the sun sets was a highlight of our Venice trip
Susan
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.
Abbondanza A.
The tour was very informative and a small group of about 10 people (other tours we walked past had more than double this). The tour lasted around 100 mins and left dead on time and was easy to find the meeting point. A substantial time was spent at each location and this is a fantastic thing to do at the start of your trip to help you work out other things you would like to do whilst you are in Venice. Main points included: San Marco Square and facts about it, iconic Venetian locations such as world famous book shops, coffee shops and churches, the way in which Venice has sustained itself over the years and the unique techniques that have been used to build and survive. Reason for four stars- at points it was a little hard to hear the tour guide in noisier locations however I would recommend this style of tour rather than a bigger one that would include electronic aids other tours have that end up muffling sound. The tour guide was extremely polite and friendly.

It started 10 m-minutes late, but there were also 10 minutes longer, sometimes you say two, sometimes four and sometimes six people in one gondola, more than ten gondolas went from the main canal to a side canal and then it went back there, the singers and the instrument players you could hear the gondola took turns so that everyone could enjoy it) was far away of course you couldn't bike that much so 50 percent music guarantee
Howard J.
The only negative note is that the docking area to get off the gondolas is not suitable and absolutely needs to be improved.

The gondola ride was amazing. Emma was really helpful with her insights on the history of Venice. The entire activity was conducted professionally
Paul
Th rotator was excellent. Engaging funny and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed our walk around Venice The gondola ride was great too. Shared the trip with a lovely Dutch couple.
Magdalen
Well organised, be aware that it’s mostly sea food, but was excellent and service was great
Diana D.

Mark

Ariane
The gondola tour was very relaxed. Unfortunately the tour was over after just 20 minutes
Senesio C.
Meal in an atypical place Very very friendly staff throughout the evening
Douglas M.
We arrived too late, but were immediately allowed to take a seat in the gondola. The armadillo was very nice and they took another nice picture of us.
Gloria G.
The gondola right was just perfect. Not too short, not too long, just right. The view in the Grand Canal is superb, and the narrow canals that the ride takes you through is quiet and calm. It was off season so not crowded, and the price was great. I booked last minute because wasn't sure of the weather, it had been raining all morning, but the weather held up and we had a super ride.
Susan M.
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.

Very beautiful, the guide explain very well, and the gondola is very nice
Allan
We always enjoy learning about the place we're visiting, especially when we're in a small group and away from the massive crowds. The guide did a remarkable job keeping us entertained and away from the crowds.
