What are people saying about Venice

Patti_F, Sep 2026

St Marks Basilica and Doges Palace Venice

Not knowing anything about Venice was a great way to start our trip learning about the history of the St Marks Basilica and Doges Palace. Our tour guide was great and Viator was very informative about the details and where to meet. So great to skip the lines and have someone knowledgeable explain the history.

Dolomites Day Trip from Venice: Scenic Mountain Escape

Tiffani_B, Sep 2026

Fantastic Day!

This was an amazing tour! Peter was a great tour guide, and the Dolomites were the most beautiful nature we have ever seen!! The only issue we experienced was right after we left. A person showed up late to the tour, so we had to go out of our way and wait for her to meet us at a pull-off area, and it set us behind on time. With that being said, the tour guide did make up for the time lost, and extended the tour an extra 90 minutes for us. Overall, it was a great day and we highly recommend you do not skip the Dolomites!!

Discover the Dolomites, Cortina and Lake Braies from Venice

Jacqueline_G, Sep 2026

An unbelievable experience

Stefania was an amazing guide through the Dolomites, a spectacular mountain range we will never forget. The day started rainy and foggy, which made us think we would miss the views. Luckily, a few hours into our journey, the skies cleared and revealed the breathtaking Dolomites... wow! Do NOT miss the chance to see them if you're in Venice. We would highly recommend this tour with Stefania, who was fun and really cared about her group having a great experience. Thank you so much! And thank you for the Nutella stop! : )

A Sparkling Day in the Prosecco Hills from Venice

We had an amazing time on...

We had an amazing time on the wine tour with Carlo. Communication and organization with train tickets was easy. The tour itself was excellent, visiting both a larger, more modern vineyard and a small production one. Lunch was a highlight, very delicious with more wine. We stopped at a few beautiful viewpoints. Carlos was a great guide: good driver, provided lots of information about wine and the area, and was very fun and entertaining. From start to finish, it was a fantastic day and I would highly recommend this tour!

Amazing from start to finish

This experience with Moses was unbelievable. After a rough start to our vacation this couldn’t have been any better. His passion and love for Venice you could feel. He was very nice and would take his time going through each room. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Venice and request Moses if possible.

Small Group Dolomites and Cortina Tour from Venice

Kumar_N, Sep 2026

Dolomites done easy and well

We had a terrific day out. The weather was perfect for all the outdoor activities. Marco our driver and guide was extremely knowledgeable and spoke terrific English. If you are expecting long hikes through the hills.. this is not the tour for you. This delivers you to three good locations to take in the beauty of the Dolomites with minimal walking involved. If the weather is looking overcast, you should take a jacket or pullover. It is much cooler when the sun is hiding.

Private Excursion by Typical Venetian Motorboat to Murano, Burano and Torcello

Jason_S, Aug 2026

The Highlight of Our Venice Vacation

What an absolutely unforgettable experience! Our private Venetian motorboat excursion to Murano and Burano was one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we stepped aboard, the scenic ride through the Venetian Lagoon was breathtaking. Our guide was exceptional, friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the history and culture of Venice, making every moment engaging and memorable. The glass-blowing demonstration in Murano was fascinating. Watching master artisans transform molten glass into beautiful works of art with such precision and skill was truly incredible. Burano was simply magical. The vibrant, colorful homes lining the canals created the most picturesque setting, and every street felt like a postcard. We loved wandering through the charming island, taking in its beauty and unique character. If you’re visiting Venice, I can’t recommend this private excursion enough. The personalized experience, stunning scenery, rich history, and unforgettable stops made for a perfect day. Five stars all around!

Young_H, Jul 2026

It was a wonderful...

It was a wonderful experience. I was a little hesitant about attending the performance because of the heat and the long day, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The variety of music, impressive performances, and the perfect length of the show made it a unique and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Venice. Sitting in the front row is highly recommended for the best experience.
