What are people saying about Venice

Gintare_V, Jul 2026

Worth every penny – an unforgettable day in the Dolomites!

This tour exceeded all my expectations. The itinerary mentioned only three stops, but our lovely guide Miriam was wonderfully flexible – whenever we spotted something beautiful along the way, she’d stop so we could take pictures of the stunning mountain scenery. At one point we passed a fun bob sled ride, and since there were kids on the bus who really wanted to try it, she made an unplanned stop there too. Everyone was thrilled – I skipped the sled myself, but happily enjoyed a spritz with a mountain view while waiting. The whole day was very well organized. The tour ran longer than scheduled, but nobody minded because it meant we got to see even more. The bus was comfortable and air-conditioned, umbrellas were provided when it rained a little in the mountains, and water was available throughout. Miriam was informative and happy to answer any questions. The tour may seem pricey, but it’s worth every penny – you’re out the whole day, the mountains are quite far away, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend it to everyone!

I Musici Veneziani Concert: Vivaldi Four Seasons

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.

The tour starts from the city tour office on the street given by directions (Venice Tours sign with city tour logo). Zoe was an excellent guide. The information she provided was fascinating and she added some humour and modern references which made it really enjoyable. We learned so much about the culture, history of Venice and its people. Can highly recommend.

Chiara was our guide for this tour which she r referred to as quick (less than 3 hours) - I am sure there was much more available for us to explore. She took us to all the best angles for the most amazing pictures. TIP - book in the morning, first thing, the square is almost empty and you get the most amazing view!

Beautiful Views and Good Experience

Beautiful views. Great guide. We learned a lot about Prosecco and enjoyed tasting several different types. If you think you might buy a bottle or two make sure to leave room in your checked bag--shipping is expensive and you have to buy at least 6 bottles to ship. Unfortunately, we did not get to enjoy the family restaurant mentioned but the food was still good. Overall worth it.

Perfect day in mountains

This trip was quite literally a breath of fresh air. With it being so hot in July, it was a perfect getaway from the humidity and the views were insane. Chiara our guide was awesome, super informative and made it fun. Our driver was great and the bus was comfy and had great AC. We did the chairlift to the top of one mountain, highly recommend

Discover the Dolomites, Cortina and Lake Braies from Venice

Pamela_P, Jul 2026

Dolomites Delight!

Stefania was a wonderful tour guide- she knows the area so well, and knows back roads not every guide may know! Everything was one time - and well planned. She did a great job of describing things on the drive to the Dolomites, the history, details about the Olympic experience for Cortina and the residents - all little gems to soak in. And the views...wow - pics cannot do them justice - it is breathtaking and so beautiful. Would recommend this tour to anyone considering a day trip to the Dolomites - Stefania is 2nd to none in leading the group, and a true highlight of our vacation.

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

Kerry_S, Jul 2026

A Great Tour, Thanks to Selena

Selena is what made this tour exceptional. As a Venetian, she shared fascinating local history and insights that made every stop more meaningful. She was warm, organized, and engaging, and truly elevated the entire experience. We also had a delicious lunch in Burano at Trexento Pasta, which was one of the highlights of the day. The only downside was the Murano glass showroom. It felt very sales-focused, and many of the pieces were extremely expensive. We later discovered on our own that not everything in the store was made in-house in Murano, and no one mentioned that during our visit. Aside from that, it was an excellent tour that we would definitely recommend, especially with Selena as your guide.

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.
