Venice Walking Tours

Straight forward enough to find the meeting place and then a short walk to the gondola well organised in terms of splitting the large group into smaller groups for each gondola so the waiting time was minimal once we arrived at the departure point. The ride itself was great, loved the narrow canals and then the experience of entering the Grand Canal. It was wonderful to go past other gondolas, some with Italian singers on board. The trip definitely made our Venice day trip very special.

Our guide David was exceptional. So many interesting pieces of history, personal stories and insights. It was like spending the day with a local friend.

Very interesting guide. We had booked with the meal included option at the illy café but they did not take this into account. They didn't seem informed of this reservation at all!

The best way to transfer from the train station to the hotel! Francesca met us on the platform and was so friendly and welcoming. She even took pictures of us with some of the sights in the background while we were on the water taxi. Very highly recommended!!!

Good, quick overview tour of the Doge Palace, Bridge of Sighs, and Dungeons. We got a late start due to another tour guest being very late.. but guide got everyone on track and off we went. Guide did a good job highlighting the most important spots and stories as well as points of interest quickly and with humor… (it would have been helpful to have read up in advance). Tour is only 1 1/2 hr which is very quick.. Definitely worth the $$ for skip the line access and informative tour.

Tour guide was a life-long local and extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of Venice. The lunch was outstanding and the private boat ride in the canals was great.

Nicole was knowledgeable. Enjoyed a local's perspective. Nice lunch, great Murano visit. Nicole was very knowledgeable - enjoyed a true local's perspective. Lunch in neighborhood restaurant was pleasant. Visit to Murano glass blowing was special.

Lorenzo showed us the off-the-beaten path of Venice, showing us a glimpse of real Venetian living. He’s very knowledgeable in his history and took us beyond the crowds and the regular tourist points. It is a very different point of view that we truly appreciated. Such good & lively conversation from the moment he picked us up in our hotel & the drop off to our more touristy activity, the gondola ride :) Grazie Lorenzo!

Valerio was the BEST tour guide on our north Italy trip! So very personable, and communicated with us DIRECTLY which was amazing, and better than any other excursion! Was very neat to see the "islands" AND the "mainland"....You really don't realize how BIG Venice is....its truly a city on water! Water taxi all day for $25 bucks, WOOT! SO.MANY.ISLANDS....a must do tour in a must do city! This place was simply amazing and beautiful. We miss you already Valerio, HUGS!

Excellent, very friendly, he knew a lot about the history of the city and explained all the tips to make the most of our stay, and he also took us to hidden spots where tourists don't go.

We booked a water taxi from outside the train station in Venice to take us to our drop-off destination, and overall it was an excellent experience. The only small issue was that the ticket didn’t specify which pier to wait at, so we had to pop into the information office for guidance. The staff there were extremely helpful and even phoned the water taxi company directly — within two minutes the boat was at the meeting point to collect us. From then on, everything ran smoothly. The taxi ride itself was very comfortable and calm, moving at a slower pace that allowed us to really take in the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of Venice. It gave us a wonderful first impression of the city. The crew were also really helpful with assisting both me and my husband in and out of the boat, which we appreciated. Although we were told we might share with up to three others, on this occasion we had the water taxi completely to ourselves, which made it feel even more special. Overall, excellent.

Nice small group and a lot of background knowledge...very interesting and recommended.

Tout was great, a little confusing at the beginning when we were allocated numbers for the radios and who was our tour guide, seem to wait around wondering if we had missed our guide or she had not arrived yet, not a great deal of information to get set up for the tour. Our guide on the tour was fantastic, really informative and new her stuff.

It was excellent. Our guide, Sandra was pleasant, knowledgeable and kept us engaged the whole time. Highly recommend the 3hr tour with skip the line access.

Well organized visit. Prepared and helpful guide.

Beautiful! I had never had an experience like this! The provider's customer service provided me with more options on the route than I could have chosen; I relied on them and I did not go wrong! I am happy to have chosen this activity, a really well spent hour! I add that even the captain of the beautiful boat was super nice and helpful!

Our guide Valentina was suburb, she was fluent in English and Spainish and explained everything in both languages

Absolutely awesome! Nikola was so knowledgeable and took us all over to places we would never find. Glass factory was amazing to see. Book this tour if you want something special and above the rest! You will learn and see so much! Ask for Nikola!

Very good tour with Gabriela.

It was peaceful and scenic, but I expected a bit more interaction or storytelling.
