Venice Walking Tours

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!

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.

Everything was fine. The guide was super friendly and the experience was wonderful.

Excellent experience. Went through the heart of Venice and took his time.

great ride, was a bit busy so had to wait about 10 minutes for a taxi. a bit confusing on where to go to book the taxi as couldn't see any signage. we ended up with a private taxi

The meeting place was indicated and the person was supposed to be wearing a TURIVE badge, but the problem was that the jacket was on the ground, so we guessed it was her, and she was also welcoming people for several activities, so it was a bit confusing. But the gondolier was "great."

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

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!

10-15 minute walking tour followed by approx 30 mins of gandola, the guide was nice and friendly. Must do in venice!

Very good, welcoming, and very peaceful and calm gondola tour in the pretty streets of Venice Slightly short considering the price (almost 80€ for 2 people for 25min) but very good experience all the same

Already on the boat trip by taxi to Murano, our guide Giovanna explained a lot of interesting things about Venice and the origin of the glass manufactories. The private tour of the glass factory was very impressive and informative. Due to the special Corona situation, the four of us were the only guests, which meant that we were looked after extremely courteously and personally. The subsequent stroll with Giovanna through Murano with a visit to two churches in which pictures by old masters were hidden on the walls, the onset of flooding due to the tide and the many stories that Giovanna knew to tell us about Murano and Venice rounded off our private tour away. A very successful trip!

I don’t even know where to start! This tour was more than we ever expected. Giovanni was so passionate about his city of Venice and that came across in his tour. We walked around Venice and saw the city from his point of view not the touristy side. He treated us like actual queens. We navigated large crowds and he made us feel safe. Our lunch by the water was fantastic with delicious appetizers, wine and pasta. Once at the glass factory the vip experience continued. We were greeted with Prosecco and had an above and beyond tour. I can’t recommend Giovanni enough. Truly made our trip to Venice incredible! You will be tired after the 10 hour tour but you will feel like you have seen it all!

Surprisingly, I was the only one who had booked a German-speaking tour... and ended up with a 1:1 tour, actually a great thing, unfortunately I had the impression that the tour guide found it a bit tedious that I took a lot of photos wanted and stopped again and again... for them, of course, it wasn't an "individual tour". I found the quarters great, including the early start time at 9 a.m.

Francesca was AMAZING! She literally went above and beyond. We were fortunate to have her when we arrived and left Venice. Don’t hesitate to book this, it will make your trip 1000% better.

We had a very enjoyable and interesting walking tour with Lorenzo. He suggested some areas to spend time in and we chose Castello which we probably would not have done on our own. It was more of a residential area and a very pleasant walk. Lorenzo provided lots of interesting commentary about living in Venice, and also about the Arsenal, which is also in Castello. He also paid attention to our request to take it slow and take breaks as needed. We enjoyed this tour with Lorenzo.

I really enjoyed the tour of the Doge's Palace and Bridge of Sighs. Our guide knows the information and tells the stories well.

The tour was excellent - my only recommendation is to bring water with you. It was hot when we walked, and I mean power walked, for two hours. A great way to see the non-touristy side to the city.

We absolutely loved our tour guide, Monica! She was so sweet and knowledgeable and made the experience amazing.

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.

We were the only people on our taxi so we had the whole James Bond experience. Our driver was wonderful and dropped us right at our hotel door. Definitely do it - the Vaporettos are so crowded!!!
