What are people saying about Venice

Time flies when you are having fun! Be flexible, but arrive with a plan in mind.
As it is a private tour, you can set the agenda and pace within the tour’s time limits, of course. It is helpful to know in advance how you would like to spend your time, whether visiting the church, watching a glass demonstration, shopping, or eating, as time passes very quickly. Please note there is no reminder about dress requirements when visiting churches, so it is best to come prepared. Remember to cover your knees and shoulders if you wish to visit religious sites.

Perfect tour!
Exceptional tour taking you around the quieter Cannaregio region of Venice. Nikola our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. Gave us a fantastic overview of the origins and history of Venice, the ghetto region, local legends and gondolier history, and food and drink recommendations. What more could you ask for? He showed us a fantastic and more peaceful side of the city.

Just do it!
Wonderful tour! We had the best time traveling to Cortina, Pieve di Cadore and the different lakes with Daniella as our guide and driver. There were 8 travellers total and we had such a nice group! We enjoyed getting to meet people from both Great Britain and the United States. The ride in the van was comfortable and we all took turns swapping seats. The tour was breathtaking with the views of the Dolomite mountains. We would highly recommend this tour and it is a great change of scenery from Venice.

The most beautiful countryside in the Veneto region!
This was the most beautiful tour! To start with, Luca, our driver, was absolutely the most pleasant, accommodating, and knowledgeable guide! From the moment he met us at the meeting place to the very end of the tour, he was beyond wonderful!
The sights along the way from Venice were breathtaking. I kept telling my family that I felt like I was walking into a storybook! It was beautiful! The winery stop was amazing! Laura, our prosecco specialist and property manager was magnificent. She presented us with an education about how the prosecco is made and was so gracious in serving us our four different types of prosecco along with meat and cheese plates that were exquisite! Next stop was the village of Asolo. Such a quaint and welcoming village. The spritz' were abundant and some unique. I actually had a spritz that was made from artichokes! It was delicious. Overall, I would tell anyone who is visiting Venice to book this tour. You won't be disappointed! (and if you get Luca as your guide you will be well taken care of !)

Amazing!
Amazing!!! Our tour guide Carlo was perfection! Very lively, entertaining and knowledgeable! This by far was one of of the best tours we’ve had on this trip with tastings. Good pours, great restaurant, friendly guide and we made new friends with the other people in our group. Highly recommend and very much worth the price!

Claire is phenomenal!
What a fantastic time we had on this highlight tour! Claire, our guide, was so enthusiastic and engaging. She did a fabulous job making sure everyone was comfortable and included. She has a passion for her work. She provided so much great information to us. Definitely take this tour!

Great guide!
Very nice experience. Our guide Sandra was very sweet, kind and was explaining everything to the detail but in a way that everyone could understand. Is a little tiring as you need to stand for two hours but I recommended it to anyone that wishes to explore the Palace and the Basilica.

Another great outing with...
Another great outing with Stefania and her husband Ralph :) This is our second trip with their small family business tour, and it’s a great day away up to the mountains! Would highly recommend, yes it's a long outing, but there’s time to rest in their new and comfortable vans on the way back! :) thanks again Stefania and Ralph, Ciao Ciao !

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.

Recommend This Tour
My family and I did this tour during our February 2026 trip to Venice. It was a great way to experience some of Venice's most famous sites. Our tour guide, Giovanna, was very knowledgable. This was not our first trip to Venice but we still learned a lot of new facts about these sites from our guide.

Francesco was an...
Francesco was an excellent tour guide. He provided us with many amazing sites. Spent time in Cortina and met a USA Paralympic athlete. Stopped for lunch and ate scrumptious gnocchi. Had an hour of free time so we walked around the lake and then took the ski lift to the top of the mountain for breathtaking views and photo opportunities. The Gelato to end the day was fantastic. Many stops on the way to and from Venice. Very accommodating to the needs of all passengers.

Foggy but still Great
Take water with you. The pace was perfect. Beautiful area, unfortunately lots of fog, but enjoyed it anyway. Loved shopping in Cortina, could have spent another 20 minutes there. Everyone was so nice. I would take this again when the weather is better! Lunch was at the recommended restaurant and was delicious, I had the spinach gnocchi! Yum

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Pulling yourself away from Venice’s splendor can be a challenge, but this city on the sea is the perfect base for exploring the surrounding Veneto region or even further afield. Venice day trips are a seamless way to visit destinations as close as islands in the Venetian lagoon or as far as the UNESCO-listed Dolomite peaks without managing tricky logistics alone. Sip Prosecco in the Valdobbiadene vineyards, admire iconic sports cars in the Motor Valley museums or discover Veneto gems like Verona and Lake Garda with hassle-free transportation directly from Venice.
