Great tour!

Georgia was amazing! She has such a warm personality perfect for a walking tour. Her knowledge of Venice was amazing especially since she was born and raised, and knew the answers to all our questions. We loved that it was off the beaten path and that she took us around the noisy streets. Would recommend for your first or second day in Venice.

Venice: St.Mark's Basilica & Doge's Palace Tour with Tickets

Adrianna_B, Jul 2026

incredible way to experience two of Venice’s most iconic landmarks.

This tour was an incredible way to experience two of Venice’s most iconic landmarks. Having the tickets included made everything seamless, and we were able to skip the hassle of waiting in long lines. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the history of St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace to life with fascinating stories and details that we never would have learned on our own. The Basilica was absolutely breathtaking, with its stunning mosaics and architecture, while the Doge’s Palace offered an amazing glimpse into Venice’s rich political history and beautiful artwork. The pace of the tour was just right, giving us enough time to admire the highlights without feeling rushed. I left with a much deeper appreciation for Venice and its incredible history. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice. It’s well organized, informative, and truly one of the best ways to experience the city’s most famous landmarks.

Venice Like a Local: Food, Wine & Spritz Tour with Traghetto Ride

Matthew_V, Jul 2026

Great tour

What a great tour. We appreciated that the tour had just enough history to be interesting but not boring. This tour was great to have a guide showing local places to get the local flavor instead of tourist traps. One caution, if you have issues with stairs or being on your feet for a long time, this tour is probably not for you. Two older tourists had to drop out between the last two places on our tour. Otherwise, we had a great time and recommend this tour!

Venice Islands: Murano Glass & Burano Colors-Guided Visit

Tamara_J, Jun 2026

Nice day in Murano and Burano

Nice tour to see both islands of Murano and Burano. Plenty of time to see glass blowing demonstration and to look (maybe shop) the beautiful glass creations. On Burano we saw a lace sewing demonstration, lots of shops and shopping. Adequate free time to explore both islands. Hillary, our guide gave good suggestions for lunch, etc. I just wish the boat ride there was a little more comfortable. We were packed like sardines and it was an extremely hot day. Hilary took a to a little pastry shop where we sampled a delicious Burano cookie.
