What are people saying about Venice

Katie_J, Mar 2026

Best tour we have ever been on!

This experience was excellent! It is the best tour our family has ever been on, hands-down! Our guide, Riccardo, was exceptional. Extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I loved that he reached out a few weeks prior to the tour to provide us with all of the details. He was prompt and organized! Pickup was very easy and the meeting spot was easily found. Laura, the vineyard owner, was wonderful! She was very engaging and provided an extremely entertaining tour. We learned so much about how Prosecco is made and about the region! The Prosecco we tasted was delicious beyond words. Laura also served us a tasty lunch in a gorgeous setting. We honestly don’t know how we will ever top this tour! We highly, highly recommend it! From start to finish it was the best day of our vacation. We will never forget it!

Eating Venice Food & Drinks Tour

Anonymous, Feb 2026

Beautiful and delicious food tour off the beaten track - see Venice through the eyes of a local

Giulia was absolutely wonderful. We had such a lovely tour around the cannaregio, eating the most delicious food! Best risotto I've ever had, a lovely introduction to the Venetian variety of spritz, and the pizza! We went back to one of the places the next day for more pizza. As it was during the week, the tour was just my sister and myself, and Giulia included a little walk as well which was lovely and great for digestion! I slept wonderfully last night. Thank you so much for showing us around, Giulia! We hope to see you next time, when we bring the rest of our family! No photos I'm afraid, as we were too busy enjoying the tour and chatting with Giulia.

Venice Islands: Murano Glass & Burano Colors-Guided Visit

Jacqueline_M, Jan 2026

Good tour, lots of free time to explore

We really enjoyed the Murano Glass & Burano Colors tour. It was a great way to explore the islands of the Venetian Lagoon despite some rain. The glassblowing demonstration in Murano was fascinating, and Burano was charming with its colorful houses and relaxed atmosphere - and can’t forget the local bakery too! Curiously enjoyed the artistic detail of the lace making, the associated museum and the local church. Our guide, Sabina, was friendly and organized and made sure we knew when to return so we weren’t left behind! She made the tour smooth, informative, and provided recommendations from start to finish.

Amazing experience

Our guide Marina made this tour the most amazing experience. She took us to the places that the locals frequent making it an authentic experience. My 15yr old son even had a great time, and you know how hard it is to make teenagers happy!!! She was knowledgeable, engaging, and just a great guide all the way around. It was like sightseeing with an old friend who lives locally. Would recommend this tour 1000%. Thanks again Marina!!!! We left with our bellies and hearts full!

Venice: Jewish Ghetto & Cannaregio Area Food Tour: Pasta Wine Gelato and More!

robert_q, Oct 2025

A Flavorful Journey!

Our Jewish Ghetto food, wine and gelato tour with Vanessa was an absolute delight, blending rich history with unforgettable flavors. From the kosher bakery’s cookies to the small plate samples and seafood ragu…and a unique Venetian Select spritz, every stop was a treat. Vanessa’s warmth and knowledge made the evening seamless, even when we nearly missed the start. A perfect 5-star experience that you will not walk away from hungry!

We did and saw a lot and we enjoyed every bit of it. Get your walking shoes on and have a wonderful time! Thank you, Antonio for a lovely day!

Venice 3,5 hrs tour: Doge's Palace, St Mark's and Hidden Gems

Ira_G, Oct 2025

Great tour because of a great tour guide

It started off a little unexpected. It was because there was a strike and our original tour guide could not make it today. I do not know how my original tour guide would have been but their replacement was excellent. We basically spent the day with him and he was absolutely terrific. We enjoyed the tour, he was funny, and very knowledgeable.

Venice Skip lines at Doge's & St. Mark's with Exclusive Sky Walk

Lorraine_B, Sep 2025

Fabulous tour!

This tour is wonderful whether you're spending one day or a few days in Venice. You'll see all the major historical sites of importance in this tour. At St. Mark's Basilica, the mosaic tiles that cover the floors, the walls, the domes, etc, are incredible. The trip to the terrace to see the original 4 St Mark's Horses was good and the outside terrace with the views of the.piazza are unique. The artwork on the walls and ceilings ofnthe Doge's Palace are spectacular. Our guide, Lorenzo, was fabulous. He was very knowledgeable, interesting and accommodating. He was easy to hear and understand with the headsets, which are given out prior to the tour. The meeting place was very easy to find. I would most definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the major sites of Venice. For reference, we spent 1 day/night in Venice and got to see everything we wanted on this tour and still had time to explore the alleyways of Venice, stop at the Rialto Bridge for photos and have dinner on the Grand Canal. Perfect tour for our stay!

A Venetian Evening: Wine Tasting and Cicchetti with a Local Guide

Anna_M, Jul 2025

Fun night with yummy treats!

This was a fun experience going to different little wine spots and getting a fun history lesson about the area and each wine we tried as we went along. Federico was response and helpful, and made it a fun night for our group. He was knowledgeable about the city and even gave us pointers on where to go after the tour ended. Would recommend if you enjoy light refreshments and food in one trip!

St Mark's Basilica & Doge's Palace with Secret Passages Access

wcszen, May 2025

Great insight to normally unseen spaces. Slightly strenuous tour

Well arranged meeting location, nearby the Doges Palace but away from crowds. Emmanuel, our guide, provided us with great commentary. We were able to see locations within the palace that are not normally accessed. The tour was accompanied by a person who I assumed was a museum staff members to supervise us as we went through normally unaccessible rooms. On our tour we saw the cell that housed Casanova during his imprisonment. In addition we learned about the history of the Doges and the engineering of the building. We also accessed the attic above the grand hall to see the infrastructure that allows for the large room without column support below. Patrons without the best mobility should consider the 2 1/2 hours length of the tour which includes many stairs and tight spaces. There is little to no opportunity to sit. We enjoyed the tour but were worn out by the end
