Bridge of Sighs Tours

Valentina was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable. It was evident she loves Venice and you could feel her enthusiasm! She was also very patient with our group as there was flooding and it took a while to walk on the platforms to the Basilica.

Really special, the whole tour was among the Venetian canals and then flowed into the lagoon! Gondolier affable and skilled at his job, tour actually as described. Really great experience, definitely to be repeated.

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!

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!

Our guide was a super nice Ventian woman who made it clear that she had a huge love for the city. She had a lot of background information about the city in general as well as the history and especially the art of the palace, which made us very happy. We had a lot of fun on the tour and brought us closer to the history, especially through the interesting stories of our guide. Only at the beginning it was a bit disorganized because we first had to go to the organizer's office, from there a guide took us to the next one so that we could get the tickets and then this guide in turn dropped us off at our "final stop". Of course, the tickets have to be arranged and the different languages have to be served, but it was a bit hectic.

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! ◡̈

Amazing, friendly guide who was good fun and told us some really interesting things about Venice lovely people who joined us on the boat! Was a definite must, rounded our trip off perfectly to get away from the busy city and people and soak it all in with a few glasses of Prosecco.

The boat trip around the islands was a great experience. Our skipper and guide Tomaso introduced us to the history and numerous interesting facts of Venice in a very entertaining way. The prosecco (of which there was plenty) was the icing on the cake. The duration of the trip was also appropriate.
