Great gondolier. Asked if we preferred to hear about the city buildings on the ride. We did and he provided interesting insights along the way but it was just right (he also gave time for my wife and I to talk and enjoy the scenery). For us the “off the beaten path” ride through old Venice was perfect. I wanted to avoid the grand canal.

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.

We ment close to St. Marc and on it went. To begin with, I have no idea about Venice history; but the guide explained in a way that even a noob like me could quickly catch up. He was really into the stories, you could tell; his excitement rubbed off. Even the weirdest questions were not a problem - he had the answer. The restaurant recommendation really pleased my taste-buds, too! Amazing tour, definite recommendation!! The 2nd part, the self-guided tour, was quite interesting, too. I listened to it on my way back to the bus so I could only get a few stops but there are so many you can access!! If u book this tour I'd recommend to take the next day off so you can fully engage in the self-guided part, it's worth spending the time. Well, anyway: Thank you, it was great!

There were two of us and we booked an hour walk with a guide. It was easy to book and I would highly recommend it. We were only in Venice for two days and the walking tour gave us so much information and helped us to get orientated. It very much added to our trip!!

It was a very good tour and our guide was very interesting and informative. The speaker system was effective and I could understand everything that was said (I have a slight hearing problem) I enjoyed the tour. I think it is mis-named as it wasn't really mysterious. Perhaps it would be better titled 'Venice beneath the surface,' or something like that. But worth doing, definitely.

Our private tour of Venice was absolutely magical, thanks to our fantastic guide! Their passion for the city brought its rich history to life as they shared captivating stories around every corner. One of the highlights was discovering a hidden courtyard where we enjoyed delicious traditional cicchetti, paired with insightful commentary. The experience was tailored to our interests, taking us to charming spots we would never have found on our own. If you’re looking for an authentic and immersive experience in Venice, I highly recommend this tour! It turned a simple outing into a cherished memory that will last a lifetime.

Our Guide Nicoletta, explained to us the little hidden mysteries of Venice by taking us through narrow streets, each prettier than the next. The people who took part in the excursion allowed us to share a good time with very interesting questions and the 2 hours spent were a special moment that we did not imagine at the start.

Georgia grew up in Murano and was an awesome guide! Pleasant and made us comfortable. Easy to chat with.
We saw everything listed and got some interesting background information on many areas from her.
The weather was perfect for the taxi boat ride up the Grand Canal and around the ""fish"" ☺️.
We highly recommend this excursion!
And lunch 🤩, pasta was yummy with wine, appetizers, coffee and dessert cookies.
Thanks Georgia for a perfect introduction to your home city 🥰.

It was over 7 hours of entertainment, education and incredible views. Our guide (Giovani) was so knowledgeable about Venice. We learned so much. We are the local cuisine. We drank the local wine. We we saturated with culture, laughs and great food.

Not to miss! We recommend it at the beginning of the stay. Very interesting with lots of little anecdotes depending on the place. There is a nice balance between historical and anecdotal aspect. Our older teenagers were receptive to the explanations and loved this visit. Our guide who has lived all his life in Venice gave us the good sides of Venice, the good tips. She gave us advice for certain purchases (and it was not easy to find the place afterwards without having taken notes). And she also had a critical mind about the mass tourism that Venice represents and all the inconveniences that this engenders.

The walking tour was really nice, allowing you to see unusual spots in Venice you wouldn't normally stumble upon. The gondola ride was amazing, the ride was so peaceful, and the views were incredible. The only slight downside was the guide would begin to walk to the next stop with no warning, which wasn't a massive problem but would have been nice to know we were moving on. Overall an amazing experience.

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.

We enjoyed the ride, but with hindsight it would have been nice to have a guide to point things out. You need to be there 15 mins before your booking, don’t rely on the water bus it took ages to get there, much longer than we thought even though we had done a check the day before so we knew where we were going. The gondolier was so skilled it is amazing to see him work.

Great experience if you want to enjoy the channels of Venezia out of the crazy and noisy streets. We did it at 6pm, which was super nice as we still had sunlight during sunset. The gondoliere was very polite and cheerful. He spoke italian, spanish and english. We recommend the private tour to have the most of it.
