Top Venice Day Trips

The trip was very organized and informative - a great way to get out of Venice for a day trip and experience the Dolomites. Matteo, our guide, was knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. He shared lots of interesting information and it was obvious he enjoys what he does.

Stefania was a wonderful guide on our Dolomites excursion. She gave us such great insights and facts about the region and its history along our journey. She made our journey throughout the day incredible and incredibly easy. This experience has been the highlight of our trip thus far. Can’t say enough great things about her and this trip!

We had spent several days in Venice so I was wondering if this would hold anything new. The tour guide was great! He shared so much information we otherwise wouldn't have known. Even for the places we had previously visited, the information made it worth visiting again. I especially liked learning about the Jewish Ghetto area and memorial. I definitely recommend this tour!

Everything about this tour was excellent. Meeting place was well organized and professional with an air conditioned office to wait in. Our tour guide was so very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Always kept us informed of timing, distances, tickets and security. The Basilica and Palace were both so beautiful to see and interesting to learn all the history of Venice. A definite must do with this company City Wonders.

Had the best time traveling from Venice to the Dolomites with our small group and Marco. The weather was a bit rainy and cloudy, however, Marco did his absolute best to make sure we had the best experience and even stopped on our route multiple times to catch a glimpse and photos of the mountain ranges when they would peak out from the clouds. Such a great switch up from Venice, would highly recommend!

Our tour guide did a wonderful job of guiding us through the crowds and explaining the many historic highlights along the way. We got to bypass the line for the gondola ride so it was an efficient use of our time. He offered to take photos of us in front of the significant parts such as the Rialto Bridge. There is a lunch break in the middle of the day and we went to the pizza restaurant he recommended which was a great choice! Would recommend for a great overview of Venice.

It was a good excursion to a Murano and Burano . Little crowded and minor delays. Our tour guide David spoke the most and told us entire history of Venice and even walked group to get a cookie in Burano. Went the extra mile for sure. Never did the third island and really not recommended. Burano was worth staying on longer!!!

You don’t have to be a classical music lover to enjoy this trip back in time, through music Traveling for the first time to Italy with friends & family. We thought getting a glimpse of old world Venice through music would be cool and it was. Don’t know anything about classical music but do know a few names of the old composers, Vivaldi is one and seeing how his “The Four Seasons” work is the most famous, and he was from Venice it made sense to go to the performance. We all had a wonderful time and the music was very engaging & lively. I think what really added to the performance, especially if you weren’t a classical music lover, was that the musicians dressed in the costumes of the period. You could imagine yourself in the 18th Century & listening to a concert of Vivaldi. We were looking for something uniquely “Venetian” and this concert fit the bill. Of course it was for “tourists” but it definitely had a different “flavor” other than the regular “tourist” things to do in Venice. We upgraded our tickets to “Skip the Line- Sit in the First Thee Rows”. It was worth it to be right up front. Like I said earlier, no one in our group was a classical music fan but we all enjoy good music whatever the genre. We heard good music & enjoyed the showmanship. It was a great activity and an end to a beautiful day in Venice.
