Venice Walking Tours

The tour was excellent thanks to the wit and wisdom of Francesca who kept us well informed in a light hearted and amusing manner. I highly recommend this tour and hope you are fortunate enough to have Francesca be your guide. Even with all the information to be had, the tour was never tedious or boring.

Unfortunately we couldn’t hear the lovely guide whilst we were travelling back down the Grand Canal…the reception was poor…but it didn’t spoil our overall enjoyment of the tour….and the guide was a joy.

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.

Immeasurable wealth and incredible works of art. Just walking past the long lines is worth every euro. But that's not all - the guide's explanations and explanations were very good. Any time again, perfect organization. Thanks!

Overall, the tour was a positive experience, mainly due to the excellence of our guide, Rebecca, who was very informative and patient. The Doges Palace part of the tour was wonderful but, unfortunately, my enjoyment of the Basilica tour was negatively affected by the swarms of people and the constant lining up, despite the 'jump the line' aspect of the package.

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.

I loved everything about this tour! St. Mark's Basilica is stunningly beautiful and was by far my favorite Basilica out of all of the ones we saw while visiting Italy. Accessing the terrace was also a nice add to this tour as the views from the terrace really showed you the entire square. We were also able to witness the time change on the Clock Tower from the terrace which was amazing to see from the higher angle. The Doge's Palace did not disappoint either. The history of the Palace and what took place there was very interesting as well. Our guide Elena (sorry if I'm misspelling it) was excellent! She was very personable, kept a nice pace, and was very knowledgeable. I like tours with informative guides but sometimes feel the guides overload you with too much information. I felt she did a great job at balancing this by providing the information without being excessive and kept my attention throughout the entire tour. I highly recommend this tour and Elena!

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!
