The back streets of Venice
This is a great tour, very informative. Guide was funny and kept us all entertained, learned about and saw a lot of the best of Venice. Only downside is we were required to walk single file down many of the streets and walkways, and with a large group if you ended up near the back of the line you were no longer in range of the radio and could not hear the guide in your earpiece.

Great tour
Grazia was very knowledgeable and explained in details about all the important places and spots. The tour included entrance to 2 major museums. I will for sure recommend.

Doge’s Palace & Saint Mark’s Basilica
It was a great tour! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the church and the palace. She really had everyone engaged from start to finish. The art work was incredible! I would highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed in anyway.

Don't think twice- book this tour!
Ottavia was an incredible tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and knew exactly how to guide us through the highlights of Venice. Our tour of St. Mark’s Basilica, Doge’s Palace, the prison, and the Bridge of Sighs was informative, interesting, and perfectly paced. It was the perfect tour for seeing the sights of Venice, and Ottavia made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Be prepared as it can get quite crowded and hot (particularly during the summer tourist season). The guide was very knowledgeable, and while doing a great job in the presentation, there’s information overload (although all interesting info).

The tour was great. A bit...
The tour was great. A bit hard to understand the tour guide with his accent. The headsets didn’t work well. Hard to adjust the volume and kept falling off my ear. Also, the Gondola ride was only 21 minutes, not the 30 minutes as stated.

Loved every minute of it!
Wonderful experience! Lucia was our host and she was honestly amazing. We learnt so much more than we would’ve if we had gone ourselves and the whole experience ended up being so much fun, highlight of our trip for sure. Would definitely recommend.

This was a fun guided tour
It was a fun and informative tour. The kids (15 and 12) enjoyed the whole tour, there was so much to see. Marco, our tour guide, kept it paced well and we learned a lot. It is definitely best to start as early as possible, we booked at 9am, because of both the influx of tourists around 11am, and the heat. The gondola ride at the end was a nice way to finish it.

Our guide was both...
Our guide was both knowledgeable and funny! Our group was diverse and friendly to talk to, mixed with our guide inputting both historic facts and daily Venetian facts. Multiple breaks and the gondola ride was beautiful! Great tour, would recommend.

Lucia was SO incredible....
Lucia was SO incredible. Got to see the basilica and palace with no wait to get into either and it’s so worth doing. The palace is huge so it was so helpful that Lucia brought us to the highlights. Same with the basilica: learned a lot about it but also about Venice. Highly recommend.
