Dolomites Day Trip from Venice: Scenic Mountain Escape

Sydney_M, Jul 2026

Fresh Mountain Air

Our guide Massimo went above and beyond! His knowledge of the towns and sites was wonderful, he also showed us great local food! The experience felt tailored to our preferences. The Dolomites are beautiful, I can’t recommend enough! A great way to get out of the Venice heat.

Venice: St.Mark's Basilica & Doge's Palace Tour with Tickets

Dana_W, Jul 2026

Amazing tour of Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica

This tour was above and beyond my expectations! The tour in the Doge’s Palace was fantastic. Our tour guide Simonetta was so knowledgeable, and we really appreciated and enjoyed the history telling combined with the tour. I wish we had a little bit more time in St. Mark’s Basilica, as I thought that part felt a bit rushed. However that did not take away from the amazing sites.

A Sparkling Day in the Prosecco Hills from Venice

Paula_S, Jun 2026

Great day trip from Venice!

This tour was excellent! We arrived at the train station in Venice and boarded a train for about a 50-minute ride. Carlo was waiting for us at the station when we arrived. Before starting the Prosecco tour, he offered us a beverage and gave us time to use the restroom. He also provided cold bottled water for the drive, which was a thoughtful touch. I would strongly recommend this tour. Everything was well organized, Carlo was a fantastic host, and we had an amazing time!

From Venice: The Best of the Dolomites Mountains Day Trip

Jolee_F, Jun 2026

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.

Adam_M, Jun 2026

A must do while in Venice!

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!

Giovanni was an amazing guide! I could not recommend him more. He was funny, engaging, and knowledgeable. My kids, who don't usually like tour guides, also loved him. There is always pressure from the glass making factory to buy something, but never any pressure from the guide. If you want to buy something, the quality is outstanding. If not, it is fine to decline.

Tour of The Real Hidden Venice

Julie_E, Jun 2026

Definitely recommend!

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!

Skip-the-Line: Doge's Palace & St. Mark's Basilica Fully Guided Tour

Doris_L, Jun 2026

St. Mark’s Basilica and Doges Palace both a must see

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.

Dolomites & Cortina Small Group Tour from Venice

Alison_D, Jun 2026

Wonderful experience

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!

Venice in A Day: St Mark's Basilica, Doge's Palace & Gondola Ride

Marianne_M, Jun 2026

A concise and thorough highlight tour

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.

Venice Sunset by Typical Venetian Boat with Prosecco

Jason_B, Apr 2026

Best experience for couples!!

Leonardo was our tour guide and he was phenomenal!! He showed us a lot of the significant sights around Venice and the history behind them. He helped make our trip romantic as I was celebrating my honeymoon and I couldn’t ask for anyone more knowledgeable. He is a Venetian himself and he was proud of it! Great to see he is keeping the tradition alive!

I Musici Veneziani Concert: Vivaldi Four Seasons

Sylvia_A, Apr 2026

Don’t be Afraid of Classical Music

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.
