Top Venice Photography Tours - page 5

My 13 year old daughter and I loved this workshop and the chance to meet and learn from a local young artist. She met us with a smile, handed us our tool bags and escorted us on a 10 minute walk to a shaded canal area with room to lay our painting boards.. We had the option of painting a few different scenes depending on which way we wanted to face, and she had examples of her her own work for each. We sketched, painted and relaxed as the gondolas glided by and people walked over the nearby bridges. She shared helpful tips and suggestions and was lovely to talk with throughout the session. I asked for some help with shading and detail and she stepped in to add a few simple accents which transformed my painting in seconds. At the end of our session she snapped pictures for us and led us back to the meeting area. We absolutely loved the whole experience and wish we could have spent more hours painting and chatting. It needed up being a private class for just the two of us, which was an added bonus! Absolutely recommend booking this to see the city from a new perspective and take a break from the busier tourist areas. We loved it!

This was the most brilliant experience with both adults and. 12 and 13 yr old loving it. The timing was perfect with just over an hour. Painting a mask with guidance from a master was such a unique and creative experience in itself but also understanding the history of masks in Venice just completed what was undoubtedly an absolute highlight of our 10 day Italian journey

The host and captain arrived on time with the boat. They were very friendly and accommodating. The host was extremely knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Venice from her. More than I ever knew. The glass blowing experience was very cool to learn and watch but felt like one of the biggest tourist traps i've ever stepped foot in. There was this enormous pressure to buy glass products. Like overwhelming. The stuff is cool to look at but not my personal style nor did I have any interest in any way to buy glass while traveling with children.. lol.. read the room bro.. lol. after an awesome lesson you are led thru a gallery and almost expected to buy extremely over priced glass pieces. I'm a pretty confident and straightforward person and don't really fall prey to peer pressure by any means but I could see how it would feel very uncomfortable to someone who wasn't strong willed. You could have told me that your mom was dying and you needed to sell me fancy over priced glass and I would have said "i'm so sorry to hear, i hope all works out" and still would have walked out without buying glass.. But that's just me. PS i never ever purchase from stores that the sales people or staff don't make eye contact with me. If you want a reasonably priced way to see how glass is made and a small tour of venice, this is a cool one. But know you will almost be expected to buy expensive glass pieces. The cherry ontop was as we were leaving and saying thank you, the man tells us " it's so strange, usually people from the US like to buy the glass" i left feeling like ok, next stop please... anything more would have felt like begging to me.. after the glass experience the host and boat captain took us on a little tour and even walked around venice with us. She was so kind. She made it a very good experience for us.

Antonio gave us a wonderful tour of Venice with his perspective as a native Venetian. In addition to a skip-the-lines tour of the Doge's Palace and St Mark's Basilica, he had a number of "surprise" venues he was eager to share. Our tour wrapped up with prosecco and sandwiches in St. Mark's Square. What a great afternoon! Be ready to walk and learn!

Wonderful event! The actors / musicians performed in separate rooms where they performed right in front of the audience making it seem as though we were part of the act. A very engaging and unique experience! A Venice Opera ! Excellent performance!! Thank you viator for making this event possible!

On a whim I booked this experience to get a few family pictures while in Venice. The agency contacted me in advance to ask for what I was looking for and the photographer was also in contact ahead of time. We met in a central location and got to the session. I had a 30 minute session and we were able to include multiple locations which was nice. We had a 9am session and the photographer found ways to keep crowds out of the background. We got our pictures the next day via a secure link and they came out great! I was really happy we decided to do this and it may be a new thing we do as a family each time we travel. The pictures were so much. Nicer than doing selfies as a family. While in Venice you should do this!!!

Philippe was very knowledgeable and was able to break down centuries of history in a humourous digestible way. I was enraptured in his storytelling and enjoyed his style of guiding. It’s also the Bieniale in Venice and he pointed out hidden gems on our tour. Plus the gondola tour at the end was very nice. Highly recommend.

Our guide Valentina was amazing very friendly and knowledgeable. She made the tour interesting and fun. She was also very willing to help me practice my Italian. The tour was amazing beautiful little villages and lots of little stores to explore. I recommend putting this tour on the list of things to do while in Venice.
