Customer reviews of tours in Venice

Wonderful experience. All you could drink prosecco is never a bad thing!

A great welcome from our guide Thomas who really amused us with in addition really lots of interesting details. A Venice seen differently. I, who am not very good at English, understood our guide quite easily, who spoke very well and softly enough.

My family and I had the great pleasure of being guided by Tomosa on his classic Venetian styled boat. Honestly, it wasn’t the boat, the possible sunset, or anything else that made the trip it was Tomosa. Hands down an exceptionally smart, humorous, and well spoken skipper. My husband and I enjoyed his stories and wit so much that we almost had to be reminded to take pictures. He was organized by explaining to us what we were doing, where we were going and when we would do certain things. I found him to be considerate of our elderly group member to ensure she made it into the boat safely. We just had such a great time with him and learning some of Venice’s history. My husband and I love naval history and seeing Venice from this perspective was so much fun. We drank Prosecco, the whole bottle. I would highly recommend take a cruise with him, sunset, no sunset… it’s still an absolute blast to talk to him and hear all the wonderful historical stories.

Very relaxed and very entertaining tour around the offshore islands.

Excellent guide. Very knowledgeable. We saw parts of Venice and the islands we had never seen before. Very informative and enjoyable. The boat was great plus proseco and soft drinks. Don't miss this. It is well worth it.

The sight of the boat when arriving was a little disappointing, another idea at the start, according to the photo of the very selling site. But our skyper swept this negative note. Thank you to him for his energy, his passion for the place and his history

Excursion was great, lots of information and tips, enough Prosecco

Lots of insights in a picturesque setting. However, with several people, which somewhat reduced the intended romance.

It was a very pleasant round tour through the lagoon of Venice, past the natural uninhabited islands to Burano and then back via Murano to Venice. The setting sun led to a wonderful evening mood on this cloudless day.

Really fun guide boatman, very informative and nothing was too much trouble, definitely recommend trip.

Wonderful experience! The weather was not the best for us, but Tomazzo was communicative with us about the likelihood of the excursion. Once we were on the water, Tomazzo served us Prosecco and told us much about Venetian history and culture. Though the water was choppy from the storm, our spirits were high as he guided us masterfully through the tour. 10/10 recommend.

A wonderful moment with Tommaso full of humor and exciting with his tasty anecdotes.

We really appreciated the guide's explanations. The gondola ride was very good, as was the historical presentation of Venice using virtual glasses. We would have liked the Grand Canal tour at the end of the activity to be longer.

I liked the brief history before getting on the Gondola. athe guide was very knowledgeable and our Gondeler was very nice.

The only negative note is that the docking area to get off the gondolas is not suitable and absolutely needs to be improved.

we absolutely loved the gondola ride ❤️ the 3d experience before was amazing

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.

Guide was great, spoke very good english and answered mine and the groups questions. learned a lot about Venice I was not aware of. Gondola ride was peaceful and relaxing. Different view of Venice and would recommend this tour

The time in the gondola is quite short, it's a shame and our gondolier didn't have the typical outfit but the ride is nice. In addition, the initial visit in the streets of Venice with the guide and the experience with the virtual reality headset was rather nice

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

We really enjoyed our gondola ride, the scenery, music and experience was amazing. a once in a life time opportunity. Our tour started with a walking tour of the city, then straight to our gondola ride. the gondaleers were amazing helping us into and out of the ride. we had some seniors with us, so it was really helpful. the love commentary was very helpful and informative. We enjoyed that very much. At the end of our tour, our tour guide gave us an option for a virtual tour of the city in the past. it was amazing, we would do that again and it was free (included in our price).

Enjoyed the tour and the beautiful scenery. I do wish it had been a little more of a guided tour.

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.

Michael the gondolier was amazing. Lots of knowledge and friendly.

It was a great help as I am partially disabled and use two sticks to get around. Walking the length and breadth of Venice and enjoying the city would have been impossible without the pass.

Easy to activate and easy to use to get around in Venice, we even used it to go to Burano for the day.

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

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.

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

The tickets are easy to redeem. You will get a redemption code after order confirmation. Just head to the yellow ticket machine at every ferry station and insert the redemption code and you will get the ticket right away

They can use more water buses, especially near the train station. We had to wait a long time and when we did get on one it was so crowded we could barely get off at our stop. You need to pay attention because they don't always announce the stops and when they do stop, it is not for a very long time.

really useful getting a 7 day pass for the waterbus, we hopped on and off many times each day and got to see most of venice. we even managed trips to merano and burano islands using the pass. strongly recommend this.

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.

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.

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

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.

Ride was about 15mins, could have been a bit longer. But a great way to see the inner channels and a must do in Venice!

We went as a group of 11 and had three different gondoliers. While ours did not offer many details he was friendly and whistled some throughout. The other two gondoliers offered plentiful information about the buildings the occupants were seeing.

Defo worth the money. Lovely people too. A lot cheaper to book before that when you get there. We saved over 100£ x

A gondola shared with a lovely couple, I was with my daughter, it was a great moment, and a great saving to share the gondola!

A good option for anyone who doesn't want to spend 80 euros on a gondola ride.

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

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

A must visit if you're touring Italy. you will not be dissappointed..although a bit crowded but worth the visit. It's a long walk so make sure your hotel is conveniently located within the cetner.

Great visit! The very nice gondolier! Well organized, I recommend

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.

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

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

Beautiful experience! They have fully adapted to our needs. The guide, exceptional !!!

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 )

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!

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

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!

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

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

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.

Had a wonderful tour with Gabriela. Thank you for the many beautiful impressions from the island of Murano!

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.

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

The tour was a lot of fun, our guide Julia was well versed and really gave us a lot of information and backstory of the locations we visited. The island were absolutely beautiful and the ride to each place was really comfortable too. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend to everyone that thinks of doing this tour!

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.

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 lenghten the time in Murano and Burano. Burano is the best spot for gorgeous photos!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

Murano part was spoiled by being captive in one shop and factory. We would have liked time to walk to all the shops, so the stop should have been another 1/2 hour longer. Technically one could have left the shop but there was no time, and you had to come through the shop again to get back to the boat. The other two islands were superb stops, and perfect as they occurred. Fifteen more minutes on Torello would have been icing on the cake.

The service and the contents of the gondola were wonderful. There was no waiting time.

We arrived late due to traffic and they let us ride 2 hours late.

Beautiful sights and gondola. Water traffic was busier than expected but I know that can’t be controlled

We loved watching the gondoliers interact — it added a real local flavor to the trip.

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.

Our gondolier did talk and give some information. Great way to see the city.

This ride made me feel like a true Venetian noble. Absolutely magical!

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.

The gondoliers were so friendly! Their jokes and songs added real charm to the ride.

A beautiful and peaceful experience — gliding past the old palaces felt like stepping into a painting.

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

A relaxing way to see the Grand Canal — no need to walk or worry about directions.

Rosalina was a great guide for our Venice tour. She shared so much knowledge and interesting insights about Venice, Venetian culture, and history making the tour very engaging. We also appreciated her recommendations for restaurants and cafes. Our gondolier was also very good - amazing skills he has to keep us within an inch from the canal walls without the gondola touching them. He also sang! This was the quintessential Venice experience without the price tag of a private tour.

It was an interesting tour of venice off the beaten track and Valentina was a very good guide who clearly loves her home city of Venice. she gave us some interesting insights

The tour was great. the equipment sometimes didn't work for the guide but she fixed in seconds. well done Valentina. very informative fun tour. loved learning about casanova and seeing where he was born.

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

Our guide was fantastic. A wonderful tour, beautiful alleys, and wonderful churches. He explained everything brilliantly with passion, wit, charm, and a wealth of expertise. The Hofmann family says thank you so much

Our guide was excellent The only suggestion for improvement would be to have groups who all spoke the same language. The fact that half of the tour was in a language each group didn’t speak effectively meant that half the commentary was not relevant Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed the walk Thank you

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

A superb walk. And the guide was very good and very well explained

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

Friendly and pleasant guide. Interesting and necessary visit to understand the history of Venice.

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

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.

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

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!!!

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 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)

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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 like that it is off the beaten path. We went to the quiet part of Venice. We truly enjoyed the old buildings. Our gondolier expertly maneuvered the gondola. He shared little stories along the way. We did not expect him to do but we greatly appreciate it. He was very courteous and considerate. Unfortunately, we cant remember his name.

It was my dream and it didn’t disappoint! Jake was a great gondolier and chatted all the way! I paid for an hour and we did a mix of both the grand canal and the more peaceful canals which was brilliant! The weather was awful in the morning and they kindly delayed until the afternoon where it was beautiful sunshine! A truly memorable time on my birthday!

We didn't really sail in the small streets. Only between the taxi boats. There wasn't much to see on the route. In short, too much money for what it was. The only positive was the experience and a friendly man.

Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about Venice! An amazing private gondola ride! I wish it was 45-60 minutes for the price but overall we will only do this once and it was a great time.

Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about Venice! An amazing private gondola ride! I wish it was 45-60 minutes for the price but overall we will only do this once and it was a great time.

The gondola tour was good and nice to be in the quieter canals on the island. Boat was nice and guide was welcoming but didn’t tell us anything about the island while on the tour

Fantastic trip, really enjoyed the narrow street canals into the Grand Canal. Bit extra time would have been great though but defo worth the money

A nice well rounded hour. we started with a mini walking tour, enjoyed the gondola, then had a VR experience on the history of Venice which was cool. Beatrice was great, very friendly and smiley.

Really interesting well organised and well informed tour guides i massively recommend if you’re new to venice

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

Francesca Gin was an excellent guide, she was very experienced and told us everything we needed to know about Venice. Definitely recommended! This is a must do when you’re here in Venice!

Gondola ride was very relaxing - could have travelled in it all day!

The gondola ride was amazing. Emma was really helpful with her insights on the history of Venice. The entire activity was conducted professionally

A short and well-priced tour. It's worth it for those who don't want anything grand, but want to do this must-see tour in the city.

I really enjoyed the event! First, there was a short city tour with a guide, then you get into a gondola with a group of four people, and at the end, there’s a small 3D tour of Venice.

Very enjoyable relaxing morning ride on the canal. I strongly recommend doing it earlier in the day where there is less traffic and the main sound you hear is of the oar in the water.

The guide was very knowledgeable on the 10-15 minute walking tour to the gondola station and the ride was picturesque!

Nice relaxing gondola.ride, the when.process was very smooth, even my teenagers enjoyed it.

Excellent, such a good day out. Luigi was fabulous, would highly recommend this trip.

We loved it, the guide was really nice and had a lot of knowledge about everything.

Boat ride pleasant Not enough time given at glass blowing in our opinion Lace making interesting again not enough time Note that it says tour is 4.5 hours That does not include the boat ride return so add another 35-40 to your day

We loved our Murano/Burano tour. This was a unique experience. From the boat ride, to the glass blowing and lace-making demonstrations, to tasting the traditional Burano biscuits, it packed a lot of great experiences into one tour. Our tour guide, Marta, was wonderful! She was friendly, enthusiastic, and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Venice, the islands, and the lagoon. Thank you Marta!! We also had a skilled boat captain who did a great job of navigating the low tides. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

We had a wonderful time visiting both islands! The guides were very knowledgeable, helpful, and responsible. Definitely recommend this tour.

Loved the extra time in beautiful Burano. Feel like me and my partner got good experience seeing both islands.

Excellent trip around the canals with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. The electric boat is very good too. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful trip , with amazing guides x thanks from Ireland

Excellent way to experience both Murano and burano in a day. Lovely guide in a group of 6 on a lovely boat. Would highly recommend.

All aspects of the trip were very good. The Virtual Reality experience at the beginning was great, the boat trip with the guide’s commentary was really interesting. Murano glass blowing was fascinating and we had time for a stroll to see part of the island. Burano was simply beautiful and there was plenty of time to explore and to sit down for some lunch. Overall an excellent experience with a great guide and good value for money. I would highly recommend it to anyone

Enjoyed all of it! Everyone was wonderful from the ladies at the meeting point to Claudia our guide. A fabulous trip

Our guide was fantastic! His knowledge and passion made the tour informative and fun.

An evening Gondola ride is a must do in Venice. It was fabulous to appreciate the grandeur of the Grand Canal and then slip down the quieter canals under the stars. Our Gondalier was fabulous telling us stories and pointing out things we may have missed.

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

The very friendly and attentive Gondolier, told several stories about the city of Venice. Punctual and courteous.

The weather was not the best but nothing was fully explained to us… a silent gondola ride!

Loved the smaller canals — so quiet and charming! Perfect for photos.

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.

The views from the canal are unlike anything else in Venice — truly unique.

Beautiful gondola ride through Venice and to grand canal with family of 5. Very enjoyable, relaxing, and memorable! Thanks for making it easy to book and embark from gondola meeting dock.

Brilliant gondolier… exceptional itinerary in places where we could not have gone alone… Perfect French! A pure moment of happiness!

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

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

the activity was as expected. the boatman spoke a little about the sights and kept quiet most of the time which is my preference.

Excellent guide, very clear explanations, about the streets and how to guide yourself by looking at the indications, it was very useful for the rest of the trip. The communication with the headphones allowed those of us who wanted photos to stay a little behind without losing detail of the information.

Had a lady she was amazing so polite answered questions news lots of the history absolutely brilliant the the gondolar ride was beautiful had a man with blue shades exquisite sailor thank you so much for the experience will be recommending thanks again

Nice experience on carnival day. We were able to enjoy streets without the crowdsupzr

The visit took place at a pleasant pace with the guide Martina who speaks very good French, her explanations were clear, precise and very well documented. We had some difficulty finding a time slot for this visit, so we did it at the end of our stay. We think it is better to do it at the beginning of the stay to go back to already known places. The equipment provided to hear the guide well worked perfectly.

A very good experience to discover places less frequented by tourists, and their history, thanks to a captivating guide.

Experience to be recommended for those who want to wander around the city and learn many curiosities at the same time thanks to the presence of a guide. Right price/quality experience! Very kind and cordial. The only flaw: I booked the tour in Italian and during the tour the guide explained things in two languages: Italian/English. A lot of time is wasted that could be invested in more exhaustive questions or explanations.

We did the tour with the guide Francesco and it was great. It was important to him to reach each individual in the group with his explanations and he showed us beautiful corners far away from the tourist streets. The guided tour was in English and he has such a clear pronunciation that you don't need to be fluent in English to understand him. Of course, it also helped a bit that he accompanied the explanations with his sympathetic Italian manner. We learned a lot about the history of Venice that day and would always book a guided tour with Francesco. As a guide we give him 5 stars. Thank you Francesco :)

The tour was great! We walked (a lot!) and explored many roads, pontes and campos. The guide explained the History of the city and also the History behind the Monuments. We had almost 2 hours break before the gondola ride, and that was not expected. By the time we Started the gôndola ride, it was already very dark.

the first guide Valentina was very good and very kind, she explained very well and answered all the questions of the members of the group in a quick and targeted way. very good. the second guide, Alessandra, who accompanied us before the gondola ride, is a marvel, fantastic, funny and very friendly. he brilliantly conducted an Italian/French tour switching from one language to another with impressive ease! we are definitely satisfied

The only downside is that the guide was too pressed. Generally interesting visit. The gondola ride lacked explanations

We really enjoyed the 1 1/2 hour walking tour around Venice. Our guide was easy to understand (English speaking) and we saw and learned about places and architecture that we would have missed on our own. The starting point was St. Mark's Square so we hit all the highlights and more. Would definitely recommend.

Long walk, lots of information. But OK. The gondola ride was also better than expected. There were 4 of us. We as a couple and two strangers with us. It was OK.

Really well organised and Nicole’s commentary was great on the boat. The glass blowing demonstration was amazing and definitely recommend doing it. Lovely half day trip overall.

it's a very well run business. the crew onboard are extremely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this company for your boat trip to Murano and Burano. grazie mille!

Beautiful islands, the guide told us so many things on the way! Excellent

It felt very organized and we enjoyed that aspect of it. We found the tour informative and thoroughly impressed with the guides handle on multiple languages. We did not know what to expect for the islands but really enjoyed them and the time allotted at each location, especially with the warm weather . We had expected to be dropped back off at a sorting point so we were surprised to be dropped off at St Mark's and have to figure out our way back to our starting location. Once the boat docked,we had intended to tip the guide and get some instructions from her, but she was the first to get off the boat and took off right away.

Tour guide was very good speaking English, Italian, French, Spanish and German! Burano and Murano bath very beautiful

very pleasant stroll. visit of murano and burano to do. We were amazed with all these colors.

Beautiful experience, Loe our guide was cute in explaining the various things to know and advising us on a cute postman where we could have lunch! The only flaw, a little time to visit the islands!

The tour was in French Italian and English. not a word! although quite a lot of German were on board. Murano is nice but more of an outlet. Burano definitely worth a trip

Great discovery of the San Marco district and the Doge's Palace with a very friendly and fun guide.

Very good excursion, it is not very long, fantastic to do more things in the day. Very punctual and well explained!

beautiful ride to Murano and Burano, it's worth visiting, very detailed guide in the explanations, very beautiful places

"Great trip! Well worth the money to visit the two islands and see a glass blowing demonstration. The time goes by fast but if you’re only in Venice for the weekend it’s the perfect amount of time. Our guide was lovely, I believe her name was Georgina but I don’t quite remember. She gave the tour in 4 different languages and was very helpful to everyone. "

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

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.

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

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.

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 !!

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!

Was a nice tour, but only a short distance across the Grand Canal, then turned into smaller alleys

If you want a quick gondola ride and nothing else, this is the right one. Takes a little turn into the canals (not under the Rialto Bridge). 30 minutes and then it's done but that's what I wanted. Cheaper to buy on getyourride than on site depending on the currency so it was good.

On the other hand too tight, we couldn't take pictures, too bad otherwise nice activity but the gondoliers were shouting at each other. For 120 euros it's a bit of a shame.

I liked it a lot, I was a little afraid when the sea was more open, but it all worked out lol

Punctual service, there were four of us and we all got on the same gondola. The gondolier didn't say anything, but in fact it wasn't expected, since it wasn't a private tour with explanation. Overall pleasant.

It was a great experience. Venice is a place you should visit at least once in your life, and I recommend taking a gondola ride to enjoy the city. However, although the meeting place was easy to find, I was a little worried until the guide arrived because I didn't know where to go afterwards (thank goodness I waited at the ticket booth). It was a great experience, including that!

Such a great experience and a really cost effective way to experience a gondola trip, highly recommend

The view of the many beautiful houses, the beautiful weather and good lighting conditions and the tranquility of the small canals.

We chose not to take the audioguide just to enjoy the gondola ride better. And although we booked a tour in English we we're put in a French speaking group so we didn't understand a word of the tour on ground. So just in case take the audioguide! The gondola ride itself was lovely, definately worth the money .

A great way to discover Venice. Of course, the beautiful things are always too short. Depending on the provider, you'll take different roads.

The gondolier was an incredible man, a real pleasure to have been able to enjoy Venice with him.

Definitely worth doing this tour, easy to find meeting point, engaging and helpful guides. The tour itself was funny and ìnteresting. Lots of great nuggets of information which were genuinely interesting. The gondola ride wasn't very long but still enjoyable.

Good activity but free time on site too short, you spend more time on the boat than on the islands. The guide only speaks English.

We loved that day, Flavia was wonderful, she gave a lot of information clearly and always in a good mood! We were very well received on both islands and it is worth seeing how they work glass in Murano, it is incredible. The island of Burano is so beautiful, it looks like a postcard. We highly recommend taking this tour if you are visiting Venice.

Claudia was an amazing tour guide. It was amazing seeing the glass and lace making in person. It is a definitely must do when in Venice.

Francesca was a great guide. Perfect amount of explanation and free time.

It was truly a great time. Our guide Francesca was very friendly, attentive, and offered clear and interesting explanations! The discovery moments were a wonderful cultural experience, and the islands were very beautiful. A big thank you to Francesca and our boat captain!

Lovely guide Gaia provided useful insights. Time on the islands was indeed a bit short.

Our guide, Elena, was outstanding and accommodating in every way! We learned so much and enjoyed all she shared with us!

We had some trouble getting to the location because we didn't know we had to take a taxi from outside of Venice which made us late. Ultimately, it was our fault for not doing more research, but we would have appreciated a bigger heads up in the directions for those who were not already in that area of Venice. Otherwise, it was a great time and we enjoyed ourselves!!

This worked well for me as a solo traveller as the usual prices meant it wouldn't have been an option for me on my own. Bit of a guided tour on the way to the Gondola ride which was quite serene once we were on our way. A bit of waiting around so you need to allow a couple of hours taking everything into consideration. The gallery at the end was well worth staying for, you really felt that you were there and had gone back in time with the 3D experience.

The Gondola ride was a unique way to see the city. They were very kind and accommodating. We will definitely do this again on our next trip to Venice.

We signed up for a gondola tour. Did not realize there would be another brief tour as we walked to the gondola docks. That was ok, but our primarty reason was to take a gondola ride. We enjoyed the gondola ride, however there was no interaction with the gondolier. Personally was not looking to be entertained by him or have an extensive conversation, but not even a welcome, hello or thank you.

This was an amazing experience with a group of friends.Its a must when your visiting venice and great photo opportunities when on the gondola boat.

Lovely ride, we had a good time. Marta Boccato was great guide. We were also lucky with the weather.

Great experience. The gondolier was very knowledgeable and friendly Wish I had more time for a longer excursion.

Experiencing Venice from a different perspective, from the canals, was a must do! Emma our guide gave us some extra info about Venice and the history of Gondolas, which was really interesting. Ending with a VR tour taking you back to the 15th century was quite entertaining.

Great short walking tour, followed up with a scenic gondola ride and then a tour into yesteryear with virtual reality goggles.

It was amazing, magical. Beatrice Da Ros was our guide, she was very sweet & explained everything and walked us through the streets of Venice. I highly recommend it to everyone.

The gondola ride, coupled with the expertise of the tour guide, brought the waterways and architecture to life!

Got's to do yes or yes super nice experience relaxing great view from the Grand Canal... Wife loved it

The guide Elisabeth did an excellent job, with a lot of knowledge and humor. Thank you for that. The gondola ride wasn't that good.

We enjoyed our time in Venice and can’t wait to come back. We learned so much and we had a once in lifetime experience!

Superb experience! Our guide was very informative and the little gondola ride was very enjoyable. Very good value for money!

Barbara lived her comments, we feel that she loves her city. She was a great guide, she speaks with her Venetian heart and a lot of humor.

Your was nice but no time for pictures. I stopped to take a picture and got lost for the last 25 mins.

The gondola ride could be a little longer But we really appreciated the guide

Very well organized. Despite the fact that it was raining, it was possible to enjoy each stage, guided tour and gondola ride. The guide, excellent.
