Bridge of Sighs Tours

Unfortunately, it rained on the day the visit was scheduled. However, we were still able to take a gondola ride and it lasted 30 minutes as planned. We were less far than expected because of the weather, but the experience was worth it.

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! ◡̈

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!

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.

You can't see Venice without gondolas. Gondola ride is an absolute must, unbelievable how they push the long boat through the canals with those sticks, without hitting anything. It's a pity that the gondolier didn't tell much and certainly didn't sing O sole mio. A little more enthusiasm there would have been great. And the chance to take a photo with your partner as you board

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 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.

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.
