Customer reviews of tours in Venice

Awesome tour! I enjoyed discovering the real Venice and learning about the city's unique history. I recommend this tour!

Beatrice the guide was very informative and friendly. The gondola trip was excellent. Very relaxing and peaceful

The walking part leading up to the gondolas was interesting and fun, learned a lot about the city and the tradition of the gondola!! The only negative about the whole thing was that our guide got us to the gondolas and left all of our groups, they were running behind and it became a little chaotic and we had no advocate for our groups. Otherwise was fantastic!!!

Was a great experience, the walking tour and the bookshop was a great extra in the experience! 100% recommend!

This excursion was fabulous. Nicole our guide was very polite,communicated well during the walking part of our tour and gave clear instructions throughout.The Gondola ride was peaceful,calming and picturesque. A definite recommendation if in Venice a must in fact.

Friendly and professional guide that gave us information and history throughout the walking tour. The gondola ride was the most exciting and fun experience. The 3d video interaction was also well presented and fun to join with.

It was a very pleasant shared gondola ride. Be warned in case you only want to go with your partner, each gondola has 4 people. The tour guide provided a short history of the gondola in English and Spanish on the walk to the gondola. The meeting point is right off of St Mark's Square and is in a convenient location for the average traveler who is already in the area.

Very good for the price it is, opposite of maybe the 100€ that ask you the private gongoliers, here you get probably the same experience for not even half the price. Plus in the end you get VR tour of how was Venice back in the days for free, so what can you ask more for? I definitely recommend this tour.

The walking tour was excellent. We learned a lot about the city. The gondola ride was good but not very long and there was no live guide during the ride. It's something to check off the list at a very reasonable price.

The price is quite good compared to other options, however it is a little tedious having to listen to the guide repeat the same information in 5 different languages, because there comes a time when he is talking about monuments or places that are no longer in sight While the boat is moving, it would be preferable to book something smaller with the preferred language. Aside from that, the overall experience is good and the guide is very helpful and friendly.

Very nice but it would have been interesting to spend more time on the island of Murano.

This was a great quick tour! Stayed true to the time estimate and gave enough time to explore each place but not so much that you ran out of things to do. The glass blowing demonstration was super cool, and the colorful island of Burano was adorable and fun to visit!

The demonstration at the glass factory in Murano is very interesting, but very short. It is necessary to control your time carefully during stops, especially if you need to eat something. The audio from the guide's microphone was very bad and I couldn't understand it very well. Overall, the trip is worth it.

Everything was good! Murano good experience but the glass show is too touristic targeted. Burano very nice with great restaurants, but 1 hour is not enough for a normal lunch. We had to run to the boat. Left us at 1:30 at the shore and pick up time was 2:30. 45 minutes more would’ve been perfect. The tour guide amazing!

The host was really good and friendly. The ship was comfortable and the journey was great. Good value for money.

It is a 4-hour tour that allows you to visit Burano and a glass factory in Murano. If you have little time available it is ideal, but if you want to make a more detailed visit, another tour is better.

It's a great activity when you don't stay long in Venice. But as it is an activity that I really liked, if I come back, I will spend more time on each island because I find that an hour with everything there is to see. It goes way too fast.

In a month long tour of Europe this was one of the very best things we did, loved it! Boat ride was fab, then Burano so beautiful and Murano glass workshop amazing! Really worth every Euro - thought it would cost a lot, lot more. 10/10

The departure location was well marked. The instructor spoke clearly, calmly and fluently in several languages (ENG, FR, IT, SP, DEU). The demonstration in the glass factory in Murano was definitely worth it. After the gift shop we didn't have time to explore the island of Murano, but we personally didn't mind. Then, a boat trip to Burano where we were allowed to walk around freely for over an hour. You must have seen this. An hour is enough time to explore the island. We highly recommend this activity!!

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip, was well worth it. Would have liked to have spent a little longer on both islands but overall would recommend

During the trip, the guide tells you in 4 languages what you can see outside the boat and some facts about the islands. On top of the deck it was very cold so on the way back we sat down nice and warm. The time we had on Murano was less than an hour. More time would have been nicer. On Burano we had 70 minutes and this was perfect.

Interesting trip around the grand canal. The gondola is very beautiful. The only thing is that the "driver" was more interested in checking his phone than in interacting with ourselves. And if we were to do it another time, it would be ourselves alone in the Gondola, sharing takes a bit away from the experience.

The guided tour is a bit short, but it's not bad for the price combined with the gondola ride

Very good experience. Instructions and comments during the activity are completely clear and consistent.

A must when you visit Venice. The tour was nice and met our expectations. Our tour guide was very friendly and really funny!

Brilliant. The fantastic tour guide, Rene, made this an exceptional experience. A great way to start our Venice holiday.

I loved it, cheaper price and Sara at all times attentive to our needs.

It was a very nice experience. A must do in Venice. For private gondola rides you'll pay more than double the price for the same duration of time. (30mins). Instead you can share a gondola with max 5 people. You only get a guided audio video, no tour guide (we were told it was because of the weather, it was a rainy day). Which was a bit of a setback cause it is written in the description that you'll get a tour guide explaining some things to you for 20 min before the ride starts. Which did not happen. Although we were fortunate to get a very nice and friendly gondolier, who explained some things to us. Yet it is a bit hard though to keep up with the audio + the gondolier explaining things (not always coinciding with the audio) + trying to enjoy the view and taking pictures/videos). So in the end I think it would have been easier to have gotten a guide, it would have been more organised and I think we could've enjoyed it more.

We enjoyed the gondola ride. My wife and I shared with a lady with 2 children on the gondola. Impressed with the skill of the gondolier. The guide that took us to the gondola was just a filler and did not add much value. It was a large group that then got divided into different gondolas.

Great atmosphere, Riccardo was a great guide which explained us the history of Venice und some fun facts.

Activity carried out in an organized manner and perfectly consistent with the description. The gondola ride is fascinating and very pleasant even in spite of the rain!

Well organised trip Very good host who explained all in English and Spanish Only downside would be a wait as other groups also awaiting to board gondolas Really enjoy the trip

Everything was excellent!!!!! The on line booking was very easy, the informations were very helpful. The gondola tour magical!! Highly recommend

Torcello seemed like a waste of time, the other 2 islands were gorgeous. The boat ride was beautiful.

You see the three islands and they leave you time to explore them, personally I didn't pay much attention to the explanations on the boat but I really liked the boat, we left on time and came back sooner because the last island of the three didn't have much to see, something that I appreciate.

A bit difficult to find the tour manager as several groups from different tour operators were at the same dock at the same time...

it was perfect! the times on each island were sufficient. only downside, the guide on the way back was not the same...very strange way of speaking and we didn't understand anything. the 3 islands are superb with a favorite for Burano and its colors! You have to climb to the top of the Torcello campanile, the view is magnificent

Was a beautiful trip! Well worth the money! 3 beautiful islands and a great host who spoke I think up to 5-6 languages! Murano glass experience was amazing! Little tip! Walk out of the shop at the end of the tour and go to the local’s shops, literally 2/3 of what the factory tour is charging! Burano is beautiful! Make sure to visit Bepi’s house and try their biscuits. Torcello is so peaceful and pretty! Also the bell tower you can climb for €5 each! We didn’t realise that until we got there! The sights were gorgeous!

It's definitely a trip to do. But be on time or 15 mins early at every point! We looked at doing the half day trip but glad we didn't as we got much more time in Burano for a chilled lunch and walk along the island. There wasn't much to do in Torcello, but it does have history, and you can climb the church.

It was very good. The guide was there to answer any question and made it easy for us to know what to look for and where in the islands. My only advice to tourists who are not very interested in historical places to take the Murano and Burano without Torcello tours. Torcello is beautiful, and has it's own valuable attractions but different than what you find in Murano and Burano and not that family friendly. All together, it was a wonderful experience and I admire the punctuality of the tour including the transportation.

Everything went well from departure to return and our guide was great. A very good guide who has a very good command of the history of these islands and who manages to switch between English, French and Italian. He was great, we loved our excursion.

Good price for the itinerary. The islands are beautiful and full of history! People usually skip Torcello, but it is a great mistake! Torcello was one of the highest spots of this tour for me! The only remark goes to the sound system in the intern part of the boat: low level and people talking during the explanations made the listening a hard task for me and my group. Unfortunately we shared the boat with people that does not were properly educated and even interested in the explanations…

The guide did an amazing job however it was hard to hear over the intercom

Very worthwhile trip. Small exhibit at the glass blowing factory on Murano and then around an hour on the island. then to Burano where you have 2 hours to explore (get lunch at this point) and this is a perfect amount of time to see the island and it's beautiful colours. Next to Torcello you get around an hour or so, again a perfect amount of time. It isn't massively clear to understand the points of interest that they point out on the boat. For the money you spend it is definitely worthwhile!

We had an amazing day, so glad that we booked this trip. Great value for money. Murano and Burano were brilliant, there was less to see on Torecello but glad we booked it as we had longer at Burano than those who had just booked the Murano & Burano trip. Watching the glass making in Murano was really interesting too.

Excellent organization and then the culmination of a small dream, in a gondola for the wonderful Venice.

Lovely ride on a beautiful boat in a beautiful city shame that the gondala man talked the whole time on his mobile phone it just seemed like yer get in my boat then get next sad as with out tourists they would have no income

The gondolier, a 10 !! It was a walk that conveyed a lot of peace, a beautiful journey that ended at the Grand Canal. Perfect experience!

A great way to ride the famous Gondola with an affordable price, I don't think you lose anything from the experience. We had the best time

Very well organised. Our guide was there to show us onto the Gondala. We had an 1/2 hour ride which was amazing as we travelled through narrow canals and under a number of bridges. Would certainly take the same trip again!

It was very nice. Italian people are not very courteous. The guy on the meeting point was really cranky, but the gondola guy was nice

Easy to find meeting point, well organized. All in all a good thing.

Gift for my in-laws who loved it, everything was perfect Thank you

very good but the gondolier spent his time on the phone while others sang

Punctual timetable and meeting point near the starting canal. Friendly gondolier and excellent "guide" who explained to us the buildings we saw passing by or the events that characterized those places. Very nice experience that I recommend to do at least once to everyone

Really enjoyed my gondola ride, was easy to get to and went very well

A worker from the company was waiting for us at the meeting point and kindly accompanied us to the starting point of the gondola ride. We shared it with a couple, in total we were 5 people. We liked it so much that we decided to take a second gondola ride. Venice is beautiful, spectacular from the Grand Canal.

The phenomenal treatment, giving explanations of the most relevant Palaces, coll no or la fenice.

Brilliant Gondola ride had by all, beautiful place would highly recommend while in Venice. Thanks

We weren't sure about doing this ride but really pleased that we did. We booked and paid for it online earlier in the day (about £100), went to the travel office in Campo san Luca at the allotted time, where we were issued with a voucher which we took to Bacino Orseolo to give to any of the gondoliers there. Three of us enjoyed having a gondola to ourselves (although we probably could have arranged a ride for just 3 of us on the spot earlier in the day at one of the quieter gondola stations), and booked for 6pm so we enjoyed sunset on the Grand Canal. The gondolier hardly spoke to us but that was fine, we just enjoyed the sights from the water.

A gondola ride when in Venice is a MUST....everyone knows that. Our gondolier,Massimo, was very knowledgeable gave us all sort of info,the ride lasted 5 min. longer,which was nice,overall 10/10

Everything went well! It may be necessary to describe the meeting point in more detail.

Did not feel it was worth the money. Gondolier talked on his mobile phone for almost the whole trip.

Experience !!! Woe to missing such an excursion! Unique and very enjoyable experience! Impeccable service Highly recommended

Our gondola ride was perfetto! Primarily due to the excellent service and information we received from our gondolier!!

We had booked a gondola ride at 7.30pm only for the two of us. Since we had read in the reviews that the office is not so easy to find, we left earlier. With Googel Maps that was no problem at all. Since it was our turn earlier, the employee asked us if we wanted to drive earlier and where we were we said yes. She wrote a new time on the slip of paper we went to the stop at the Hard Rock Cafe where there was a long line but we were led straight to the next arriving gondola and off we went. It was a special experience from time to time we saw or heard the gondola with musicians. So I enjoyed it very much, I enjoyed it and it would not have occurred to me to look at the watch for how long we were on the road.

Although it was a bit difficult for us to get to the meeting point, there was a guide who later took us to the starting point. The gondolier was very friendly and entertained us with anecdotes and comments about Venice since the gondola was exclusively for the four of us.

We enjoyed the gondol ride through Venice with our gondolier who was Nice to tell us about the history and tips on where to eat, which was a great Italian restaurant.

Very smooth system. They also kept our baby strollers at safe place and returned us back at the end of the ride.

We had a delightful ride with Diario. He was so proud of his family’s legacy and we were excited to hear the details of his fathers work. We rode in his family’s 32 year old gondola and he even pointed out his fathers home. It was fun to hear the gondoliers banter while riding the canal. It’s a very quick ride under the bridge of sighs and back again. Time flies when you’re having fun!

We had a very enjoyable gondola ride (one and only as newlyWeds) with our guide. Luckily the weather was perfect and the guide told us interesting facts about the different historically significant buildings along the canal as we passed them. The trip felt like the perfect amount of time for a short afternoon activity after we toured the Basilica and Palace all morning.

I’ve traveled a lot, but never really used a guided tour like this one. What an amazing experience Anthony provided for us! Engaging stories, excellent driving, extreme patience, and outstanding wit made our tour an easy way to experience the Scottish Highlands in just a few days. The trip was well-planned in the number, type, and activities available at each site. Loads of fun and even great back up plans when traffic issues required a detour on the third day. Highly recommended!

Tomaso was a great tour guide, sailing through the canals of Venice was a once in a lifetime experience. Not cheap but I would definitely recommend everyone do it Amazing!!

Private 30-minutes gondola ride was fantastic. Such a magical way to see Venice!

The walk was very nice. We liked that it was through small channels, because it is quieter. Our very friendly guide and he was talking about the environment at all times. We liked it a lot . We recommend it

Annamaria gave us wonderful insights into Murano. Very exciting, informative and personal. Thanks very much!

What a wonderful day with our guide in Murano. We loved the tour of the glass factory and a walk to the amazing church in the island. It was a perfect way to spend the day.

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!

Outstanding visit. The guide Giovanna made us feel at home, prepared and professional. The whole visit is an unmissable emotion to give to yourself and your family. Exceeded our expectations

Just perfect 👌 We had a wonderful time. Our guide was exceptional 👏 I recommend 100%

Fantastic tour with Giovanna, an extremely nice, hard-working Venetian woman who speaks perfect German. Very well organised, extensive and interesting information about Murano and the history of this small island. Lots of new impressions and, above all, good memories. Absolutely great and highly recommended! We (Nina and Jürgen) say thank you dear Giovanna

We chose a private tour with a guide to the island of Murano, and it was a very pleasant experience, a far cry from group tours. Our guide took the time to tell us about the history of Venice and we visited places far from the tourist crowds. We stayed in Venice for four days, and this outing was by far the best. Grazie mille!

We were with three children aged 4 and 6: the guide was very patient and was able to involve them! Absolutely positive experience.

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.

we had a guide keen on history and we were only two people so privileged visit, on the other hand a little light content: a demo in a single glassware (where we spent most of the time visiting the store with the seller on our heels) + visit to the basilica, the rest of the island is apparently not planned in the program (too bad!) .. but very helpful guide in any case (to help us find the right shuttle boat to leave )

Katia is an excellent guide. Interesting and available. The visit was superb. A good time with the family that we recommend

The tour guide was very helpful and was pointing out various landmarks around the islands. The passengers were split into two groups, one each for two glass factories on Murano. We went to the Mazzucato factory which had a very good demonstration of glass blowing

Perfect tour for us .. the right combination of guided information and free time. Highlight was Burano, would go back to explore more.

The best €25 I ever spent! Amazing day trip to 3 gorgeous little villages! Perfect amount of free time in each place, the day flies in! Like other people have said, don't buy anything in the glass factory, things are much cheaper in the shops. Really nice big boat, with an option to sit inside or outside.

The guide was amazing and narrated everything in 5 languages all day! The weather was not great--rainy and cold--but that could not be helped. I understand that we were trying to take in a lot of sights in one day, but it did at times feel very rushed.

It was a great tour. Wonderful value for money experience. Very well organized the information shared by the guide was very interesting, the time allowed in each town was more than enough

The educational visit on the manual processing of glass in artisan ovens is interesting. But I don't understand why the shop is induced in internal shops with very high prices, even in the shops in the internal square of the town. The paradox is that in the bazaars along the route to Venice in the Rialto bridge area, the prices of Murano glasses, identical to those we bought on the island, are 3 euros lower per piece. One out of five would come free. What a disappointment!!! Interessante la visita didattica sulla lavorazione manuale del vetro nei forni artigianali. Però non capisco perché viene indotto lo shop in negozi interni con dei prezzi altissimi, anche nelle botteghe della piazza interna del paese. Il paradosso è che nei bazar lungo il percorso di arrivo a Venezia zona ponte Rialto , i prezzi dei bicchieri di Murano, identici a quelli che abbiamo comprato sull'isola, sono inferiori di 3 euro a pezzo. Ne sarebbe venuto uno gratis su cinque. Che delusione!!!

The first 2 islands were very nice, the last one was not much (a church on an island) There were also people who did the 2 islands tour, I would recommend that to people. A visit to the glass museum is an absolute must as far as I am concerned, but I have not seen a tour in a glass factory (they must mean the museum, but you can visit it at your own expense and opportunity)

The excursion to the lagoon gave us the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello. The boat ride through nature was breathtaking, and a stop on the island of Murano allowed us to see the glass making process and learn about the art of glassblowing.

We walked along the narrow streets and admired the work of the craftswomen who create lace products. We spent more time on the island of Burano enjoying its charm.

Really nice excursion to visit Murano and Burano ! The guide Andreas is perfect, he can speak lots of languages. Really practical to be able to board and get off at Santa Lucia or Saint Marco. We also visited Torcello, but I think it isn't worth the detour. The time we could spend in Murano and Burano was not enough, it would be better to skip Torcello and lengthen the time in Murano and Burano. Burano is the best spot for gorgeous photos !

The information given by the multilingual guide was clear and interesting to know. The islands are a must see, Burano being the most picturesque with its brightly colored houses. The boat ride is comfortable. The free time granted on site allows you to wander the alleys while admiring the very nicely stocked local shops.

It was a great way to see the culture and history of Venice and the surrounding islands. The glass demo was interesting and a must . The coloured houses in Burano are eye-catching and the story behind them light hearted. With quaint restaurants, for a light bite and a glass of wine. Spent approximately an hour and half at each location.

Very nice demonstration at Murano glass factory , but that's it, no factory tour, only the shop. Beautiful experience exploring Burano. Rather sad at depopulated Torcello Island.

Very interesting . Perfect guide! On the other hand, the cost is much too high. We hesitated for a long time!!!

Our guide was fantastic. It was an excellent historical trek and she was both masterful, and joyful at explaining it all. When you think of navigating the vast crowds visiting magical Venice (and it is so very magical) - your time is also valuable. This experience made it very easy to receive so much in return. Thank you!

The tour was excellent and very well thought out. It's all because of the very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. She had a great command over the language, it was easy to get through what she was explaining and she was very personable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice. 5 stars

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!

Wonderful, very skilled guide. He was very informative and made the tour to be the best.

The guide teaches us what was happening in each room of the palace, about the Republic of Venice, the little-known French history of the Battle of Lesventes and Napoleon and deciphers the works. Thanks to the headphones you don't miss a beat. On the upper floor of the basilica, outside, she talks to us about present-day Venice and we can ask her questions.

Our guide, Andrea was excellent. The only negative was the line for the women’s restroom was way too long due to a toilet being out of order. Other than that the place was beautiful and the guide very knowledgeable.

Seemed to be really lucky , never waited very long. Once I got my head around the system, it’s easy to find where you are going.occasionally the boat was packed but always got on.

Paying a single cost and knowing you would have unlimited use provided peace of mind for a first time solo traveller to Venice.

The waterbus and mainland bus pass made our travel in and around Venice extremely easy. Plan your activities to make the most of the card once you have activated it.

Way to easy to pick-up the tickets and use them… truly it was the best way to transport in Venice, and I would use and recommend it again

These were excellent value especially as staying on mestre, we used the bus to get in and out every day and the water bus to visit the islands and make our way round when our legs got tired !

Super easy to use - we had a great day on the water exploring the islands! Would highly recommend.

A great way to get around although if seated the windows are filthy so you can’t enjoy the views.

Very easy to get on and off. The instructions to pick up the tickets at the kiosk could be a little more clear. There is 2 bus stations at the train stop without kiosks prior to finding the third station which had the pickup kiosks. Learning the lines was a bit confusing as well, a bus guide would have helped.

Great price for parking and trip to & from Venice. Boat was very full so a little crammed in (and 37 degrees so not ideal!) Would be better to have clearer info on which toilets you can use - but there are some 5 mins from the booking office. Would definitely use again if going to Venice.

I liked being able to get off the train and going right to the kiosk to get my tickets. There was a line for vaporetto tickets. It would have been cheaper to buy in person if I'd been willing to wait in line.

The water bus was easy to find and using the tickets pre booked was better than trying to work out the machine. As long as u know where u r going and where u have to get off it’s fine.

I bought the 24hr pass on the morning before going to the ticket machine and printing off. When boarding the bus I did wonder how it was supposed to scan but even though it was a paper copy this was no problem. I utilised the pass heavily to go to lido, burrano and murano before coming back into Venice and using there also. So worth it for the money and would defo recommend to people to use it. Easy simple and value for money

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

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

We liked it a lot, it showed us very interesting places in Venice.

The guide was very competent and mainly reported on the difficulties of the local Venetians. We were frightened by the decline in the number of residents reported in Venice (about 100,000 in 1960, today 49,000) and the frightening takeover of shops and restaurants by the Chinese.

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.

It lasted 2 hours, we walked through very beautiful places and we enjoyed it. The road was pleasant. Valentina explained to us in detail in Spanish and English.

Very nice private tour away from the hustle and bustle of the main part of Venice.

Great guide and the islands of Murano and Burano were magnificent!

A beautiful RIVA type boat, all in wood, much better than the photo ;-)) The guide was great, full of anecdotes, attentive and discreet at the same time. Seeing Venice from the lagoon and the Grand Canal is an experience in itself, in addition to the interest of the other cities visited. Murano: for its glassmakers Burano: for its pretty colored houses To do ABSOLUTELY !!

Selina was a very special guide. She was informative, patient, very good English and so attentive to us. The boat was great. We loved every minute. This trip helped us to understand and appreciate these islands and their importance to Venice.

The trip was in a beautifully restored fishing boat - a picture perfect way to spend several hours exploring the other islands. Watching glass blowing on Murano was fascinating, but you do need to be strong to resist the underlying pressure to spend money in the shop afterwards. Burano with its colourful houses was simply stunning and Torcello was so peaceful, it seemed to offer the perfect escape from the pressures of our busy lives. Our guide was charming and unobtrusive - I would definitely recommend this as a great way of exploring the smaller islands.

Beautiful day ! We were welcomed at the point established by mr. Manola, an exquisite person, prepared and extremely available, who accompanied us throughout the tour. First stop on the island of Murano: visit to the glass factory. Mr. Fabio, very kind, explained to us step by step the demonstration of a master glassmaker who created three beautiful objects for us. After a pleasant walk on the island we took the boat and went to Burano Manola, our super guide, made us visit the island by telling us and showing us a lot of interesting things After circumnavigating the island of Torcello (we chose not to go down) we returned to Venice enjoying the spectacle of the setting sun Beautiful, well organized, highly recommended experience, which we will definitely do again! a special thanks to Manola who made our trip special !!

We liked the tour alot. The weather was great Our guide Martina was outstanding and gracious!

Our guide Katy was absolutely amazing. She was gracious and knowledge. She made every stop feel special.

Martina was an exceptional guide. very knowledgeable and very interesting. Managed the group well and made the tour amazing. Definitely recommend doing the tour as learnt so much more then if just wondered around.

Full of stores. And guide- best sense of humour. 10 stars goes to guide! I suggest early morning tour.

This was a tremendous tour! It was clear where and when we were supposed to meet and highly organized when we arrived. We promptly began our tour with a guide who is highly knowledgable. She spoke slowly and clearly and answered our questions as we explored and listened. When a couple sets of ear buds quit working she quickly changed those out. At the end she gave us a tip to wait on the terrace to see the clock work on the hour. Highly recommend this tour!

Guide was fabulous! So knowledgeable and interesting! Wish we could have her again!

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!

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.

Great tour! Perfect way to see the Grand Canal. Our guide was excellent. Highly recommend!

The guide was very knowledgable and pointed out lots of places of interest and some interesting facts. The sun was setting during the second half of the one hour trip which made it even more enjoyable. We were happy we saw all the famous landmarks so well worth the money

Brilliant. Highly recommend this trip. So much cheaper than a gondola too.

Great tour through the great canal. A perfect explanation of the buildings along the canal and the secret gardens. A well spent hour! I would recommend to arrive 10 to 15 mins earlier.

Valentine was an excellent guide with such great knowledge and a pleasant personality.

Boat trip along the Grand Canal in a small group of around 8 people! Very friendly guide, explains the essentials! It's worth it to get to know the city from another point of view!

Very worthwhile. Had a very good English speaking guide on a 1 hour canal tour of Venice with a group of 8 people. Highly recommended!

It was a great opportunity to become acquainted with Venice and its landmarks. The guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. If it is your first time in Venice, it is worth taking this tour.

The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of information about the sights of Venice. I would recommend this tour to anyone who visits Venice.

The guide was so knowledge and very assisting so was the men on staff

Great guide - great tour! Would highly recommend to get an overview of Venice.

Very nice tour with seven people on a cool boat, good Guide! Thanks a lot

Our guide, Alessia, made all the difference. She was absolutely wonderful. As a native Venetian, she had an amazing grasp of the history of the city and its art, and conveyed it all in a very comprehensible manner. I learned way more about Venice than I had expected.

Our guide Claire was amazing.. so informative and so passionate about what she did.. the tour was very well planned with all key landmarks covered and great equipment to hear the guide even from the back of the group. Lovely experience. Would highly recommend!

This tour was fantastic! Our guide Sandra was very knowledgeable, and the tour was interesting and informative. Highly recommend!

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

Sandra was amazing. She was full of knowledge. I wish we could have spent more time in the church instead of the doge area. They called us the day before to change time of tour. We agreed but it did cause us to have to rush to dinner. The toilet and shopping time is too short so we didn’t get to buy a book. Very good guide thank you

The tour was excellent with a wonderful guide who was passionate and knowledgeable about all the history and very helpful making sure that we all heard her and answered all of the questions. 5 stars for her

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.

Our guide was great. She made the tour an unforgettable moment. She “lives” the city of Venice. She gave us a lot of information with a lot of passion. I can only recommend the tour

Our guide was very knowledgable of the history of the palace, the basilica and Venice. I learnt quite a bit

Excellent private gondola ride. A bit expensive for 30 minutes despite everything ... but good to do

35 minutes really not enough to appreciate the row of canals and the charm of the buildings that surround them the price is 80 € to 120 € if you decide to take a tour alone so not many advantages to take in this site

Wonderful experience, super easy to find the meeting point and very helpful gondolier! Highly recommend!

It was an amazing tour with many interisting information about Venice given by the gondoliere. Thanks so much.

The guy was very friendly and polite and guided us through the ride

A very pleasant walk with very interesting explanations of the history of Venice! This gondola company is very serious and not “tourist trap”. Our gondolier was wonderful. I 100% recommend this experience!

Very pleasant and relaxing. Friendly gondolier but not very talkative.

Everything went well, quick 30min ride but the gondolas are sublime, I recommend! We arrived a little early and were picked up directly, thank you

A warm welcome, a romantic moment and guaranteed relaxation! Time stands still for a few minutes with some pretty discoveries!

Venice traffic jam with Gondolers competing for space. Short ride, crowded and bumpy with all the traffic on the Grand Highway. Horribly expensive for a less than 30 minute ride.

Very friendly, well organised service. Knowledgable guide with lots of local knowledge.

Super good! Just what they offer. The location of the meeting point was very visible and they get you on the gondola very quickly.

Our guide Valentina was excellent and the tour was extremely interesting.

we had a really well informed and friendly guide and she took us to a lot of the main sites as well as many off the main routes. there were about 20 of us - 60% English speaking, 40% Italian but that didn't cause us any problems. Definitely a good activity

Valentina was a great guide. Great pace and lots of great stories and information.

I discovered part of Venice thanks to my guide Valentina. I appreciated.

The tour was bilingual (German/French). But our guide solved that well. We saw corners that we would never have found otherwise. Time was a bit short because some participants had booked a gondola ride afterwards. Overall recommended.

Nicoletta was extremely nice and made the tour interesting and exciting despite the rain and a little flood. There were also some tips at the end. All questions were answered. Any time!

Guide addressed additional questions. The tour was very informative.

One great attraction to complete the visit at the Doge’s palace and a greatly informed guide. Kristian gave a english and italian tour of the main rooms of the prison and explained the torture devices so nicely and fun to enjoy, for kids as well, since we had some in the group. Fantastic experience!

The guide explained everything in detail and did it very well. The guide, when he heard us speaking in Spanish, proposed doing the visit in our language, which we greatly appreciated.

The tour was great. There were only six people which meant it was easy to hear and ask questions. Our guide, Kristian, was very nice and friendly. He had a slight cold but he gave it his all and made the tour really enjoyable even though he didn’t feel great. It was very interesting and informative. Really glad we went.

Christian was very friendly and informative! We learned a lot and he incorporated local events too. Thank you

We were satisfied with the visit, although the price is slightly high for what it offers. Luckily the tour was enriched by the explanations of our guide Cristian who made the visit very interesting and pleasant! ◡̈

Guide was amazing and the stories and items they had to share were incredible and disturbing!

The visit is good, the only thing is that the guide spoke too fast in a very weak tone which made it difficult to follow him...plus he kept dropping words or expressions in Italian, cutting off every sentence in English, only to pick up the thread again later... Without native English it is difficult to follow the entire explanation. The guide's English was quite peculiar. Almost zero time for photos, super express visit. The good thing, very small group.

Fantastic way to explore Venice, it felt like visiting with a friend. We learnt alot about the city and living there, and saw places we would never have found on our own. Lunch at a great restaurant with beautiful food, and Lorenzo was such a great guide and fun person to spend time with. Highly recommend, this was a highlight of our Italian vacation.

The best thing about the tour has been our guide. Lidia has been really charming and has known how to convey her love for Venice to us. A 100% recommended experience.

We had a fantastic day in Murano and Burano. Our guide Silvia was very good and gave us many interesting informations. She was an amazing guide. We can warmly recommend the tour.

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 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.

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!

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.
