Highly recommend
Highly recommend this tour! Having a knowledgeable guide, like Maddalena, was absolutely amazing. Her storytelling and recounting of history, art, politics, and more truly immersed us in the experience. The meeting point was easy to find. We received a guided tour of Doge’s palace, St. Marks Basilica, and we even got to walk across the Bridge of Sighs into the prison. Excellent experience. Don’t forget your walking shoes and appropriate dress!

Fantastico!
The tour was very organized and on time. Felipe, our guide, was so knowledgeable. He had a knack for tying different things together. Alberto, our Gondolier, was an expert. It was fun to hear the banter between him and others along the canal. Well worth. I would take the tour again.

Great way to see Venice in a day.
The tour was excellent. The guide Marco, was awesome (he is 5 stars) the headphones were a 3. The headphones are for sure necessary but they do not stay on your ears well.

If you are a lucky person to get the most energetic, delightful and knowledgeable guide named Claire count yourself lucky! What a treasure she is! She is so knowledgeable, fun and entertaining! Hadley, my granddaughter and I just adored her! Thank you for sharing so much information with us in such a fun way! Merci Mille fois!

Don’t Miss This Tour!
We highly recommend this tour! Ask for Alex to be your guide because his knowledge and passion for history truly made this one of the best tours while we were in Italy! He also has the perfect personality to engage with middle school aged kids, so bring your family.

Wonderful!
This tour was all we had hoped for! Doge’s palace, St Marks, and an early-morning view of Venice. A great introduction to the city

Amazing tour guide
Our tour guide Elena was very personable and knowledgeable. She was born and raised in Venice and knew so much history! We learned so much from her!

Very informative walking tour
Our guide Moses was a wealth of information! We were happy we could take pictures (without flash) in the Basilica and Palace.

Venice highlights
Worth it to package skip the line passes to see the cathedral, doge palace and take a gondola ride. Just be aware that it will take approx 5 hours. Our tour guide was informative, humorous, and gives you an interesting pov from a Venetian.

Fabulous
Able to see and learn so much about Venice in five hours. Great to miss the queues into St Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace and the gondola ride did not disappoint!
