What are people saying about Venice

Haley_B, Jul 2026

We loved this tour!!

TAKE THIS TOUR! Ludo was so amazing and kind, she made the tour so much fun and we learned a lot. We also loved that we got to visit real local bars and restaurants run by Venetians and support their businesses. If anything we all said we wished we’d done it earlier in our trip because she gave us so many wonderful recommendations for places to visit! I can’t recommend this enough!!

Rhiannon_P, Jul 2026

Would 100% recommend!

Stefan was a great guide. He was professional and shared his knowledge with us throughout whilst giving us time to look at things ourselves without rushing us. It was a really enjoyable experience and the Gondola ride at the end was the icing on the cake.

Venice's Best: Basilica, Doge's Palace, Gondola & History Gallery

Carrine_R, Jul 2026

A great get it done in a day tour

This was the perfect way to see the top sights of St Marks cathedral and the doge’s palace. In addition the virtual reality was very cool. What a great way to experience the Venice of yesteryear. I loved the part where you were aboard a Venetian galleon. We probably would have never gone to the corera museum but we figured why not since it was included? We hat a find! The museum is housed in a Hapsburg palace so it was quite a treat. We weren’t about to visit Venice without the obligatory gondola ride and it was fun! Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept a good pace

Fun 3 hour tour in Venice with Tony

Tony, our guide, was fabulous! He was knowledgeable, set a comfortable pace, and we enjoyed our time with him. We hit all the sites in our 3 hr tour. We had gotten lost finding the meeting site, so Tony guided us on line and he flexed the meeting space to meet us. We highly recommend Tony for this tour.

Venice In a Day St Mark's Doges Palace Gondola Ride and City Tour

Chris_P, Jul 2026

Fantastic day in Venice

We had an outstanding experience on the Venice in a Day: Doge’s Palace & St. Mark’s Basilica tour with our guide, Felipe. The tour was exceptionally well-paced, allowing us to fully appreciate each location without ever feeling rushed. Felipe’s knowledge of Venice, its history, and the significance of each site was impressive, but what truly made the experience memorable were the personal stories, insights, and opinions he shared throughout the tour. Those touches brought the history to life and made the experience feel much more authentic than simply listening to a rehearsed script. One of the best decisions we made was booking the earliest tour of the day. We were able to enjoy St. Mark’s Square, Doge’s Palace, and St. Mark’s Basilica before the large crowds arrived, which made the experience far more enjoyable and allowed us to truly appreciate the beauty and history of these incredible landmarks. If you’re visiting Venice and want an informative, engaging, and well-organized introduction to two of the city’s most iconic attractions, we highly recommend this tour—and if you have the opportunity to tour with Felipe, don’t hesitate. He was an exceptional guide and played a huge role in making our visit one of the highlights of our time in Venice.

Fall in Love: Private Romantic Gondola Ride on the Grand Canal

Luke_N, Jul 2026

Romantic Gondola Cruise

Gliding through the quiet, narrow canals away from the crowded streets felt like stepping back in time. The atmosphere was incredibly intimate, especially as the sun began to set later in the day, and the water reflected the warm glow of the historic Venetian palaces. Our gondolier was professional, navigating the waterways with effortless grace while pointing out a few hidden landmarks along the way.

Fantastic day in Venice

Fantastic tour. Marco was a great tour guide. This tour was very comprehensive but also did not feel rushed. We had plenty of time at lunch and felt like we saw all the sites we wanted to see that day. The family walked away very impressed and pleased at the end of the day.

Venice: Private After Dark Tour and Gondola Ride

BeccaRiding, Apr 2026

The only way to truly meet the Queen of the Adriatic…

Our time in Venice was very limited (two days) so we wanted to prioritize getting to know and understand the city and her stories. The tour guided by Lorenzo was the perfect choice for us—he quickly assessed our interests and proceeded to give us a 90 minute guided tour of the city, both the stories behind the well known sites (like the Rialto bridge) as well as taking us into tiny alleyways and passages to get a feel for the Venezia that few tourists ever see. After 90 minutes learning the history, the legends, and the present day realities of the city, we stepped into a gondola that took us so quietly through the canals as the sunset faded and the lights of Venice turned on around us. This tour was a splurge for us, but there is only one Queen in Venice and this is the perfect guide to introduce you. I would do do this again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone coming to visit who wants to step outside the main tourist routes and try being Venetian for an evening.

Private Gondola Serenade with Music

ELAINE_L, Sep 2025

Most beautiful thing in Venice

I would recommend this to every single person that comes to Venice, it’s really a once-in-a-lifetime experience no one should ever miss. It’s five of us so we have two gondolas, my husband and myself together with son on the gondola that has musicians and my mum and in-law on the other one, they can clearly hear the songs and took lots of wonderful video. The musicians are great player and singer, it’s one of our best if not the best-best memory of Italy! I would say it’s something you can really feel how wonderful and dreamy this city it!
