What are people saying about Venice

Sarah_M, Jul 2026

An insight into Venice as the locals see it.

We have been to. Venice before, so we were keen to explore more of the ‘real Venice’, away from the crowds and usual tourist haunts. Sebastiano delivered. He was personable, knowledgeable, and took us to places we’d definitely not seen previously. We felt like we had a better insight into the Venice of the people. Take a hat, lots of water and wear walking shoes!

Her upbeat personality kept the tour fun and engaging, and her patience in explaining the local foods and drink pairings was much appreciated. It’s clear she is a beloved local figure—every shop and eatery we walked into greeted her like family, which made us feel like VIPs.

Dana_W, Jul 2026

Amazing tour of Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica

This tour was above and beyond my expectations! The tour in the Doge’s Palace was fantastic. Our tour guide Simonetta was so knowledgeable, and we really appreciated and enjoyed the history telling combined with the tour. I wish we had a little bit more time in St. Mark’s Basilica, as I thought that part felt a bit rushed. However that did not take away from the amazing sites.

LOVED this tour!

We absolutely LOVED our tour with Vanessa. She was knowledgeable, charming, and easily accommodated our kids (both age 6) and a vegetarian (me). We learned so much about the unique history and culture of food in Venice, and tried so many bites and dishes we wouldn’t have gotten to try otherwise. Excellent value for money, highly recommend.

Exceptional Guide, Exceptional Tour

This tour was absolutely fantastic and one of the highlights of our time in Venice. Having skip-the-line access to both St. Mark's Basilica and Doge's Palace made the experience seamless and allowed us to spend our time enjoying these incredible landmarks instead of waiting in line. Our guide was wonderful. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate about Venice's history, bringing each site to life with fascinating stories and details that we never would have learned on our own. She kept the tour interesting from beginning to end and was happy to answer questions along the way. From the breathtaking golden mosaics inside St. Mark's Basilica to the grand halls of Doge's Palace and the iconic Bridge of Sighs, every stop was unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice. It was well organized, informative, and absolutely worth it.

Wonderful Experience in Venice 5 Stars!

Highly recommended! We had a wonderful tour with Ama during our honeymoon in Venice. From the very beginning, she was kind, friendly, welcoming, and made us feel completely comfortable. What we really loved was how she balanced history, culture, and storytelling. She shared interesting stories about Venice in a fun and engaging way, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. She also showed us beautiful hidden corners of the city, iconic viewpoints, Rialto Bridge, and St. Mark’s Square. Ama went above and beyond to make the tour special for us. She took many beautiful photos of us throughout the tour and helped create unforgettable memories from our honeymoon. She was always attentive, making sure we were comfortable, enjoying ourselves, and getting the most out of the experience. We also loved learning about Venetian culture, local traditions, food, and daily life. She even took us for delicious gelato and shared fascinating stories about the city along the way. One particularly thoughtful gesture was the handwritten congratulations letter she gave us for our wedding, which was such a lovely surprise and made the experience even more personal. We spent two wonderful hours together, and the time flew by. Ama’s warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine care made this one of our favorite experiences in Venice. Thank you, Ama, for helping make our honeymoon so memorable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice!

Fantastic tour guide!

We had a tremendous time with our tour guide, Sneh. I have been on 10+ tours with Viator. All over the world. I will say this is one of the best I’ve ever been on. It’s a non-traditional tour, so you’re going to get to see more of the “real” Venice— parts you wouldn’t likely see on your own or on an historical tour. I learned so much today. And our guide was both personable and knowledgeable. A 10 out of 10!

I would definitely recommend!

I ran late but that was ok as the tour guide gave good information to start off as he waited for those of us who were running late. He was very informative and allowed us to stop into a store that sells handmade masks and when we needed to quickly get into a store to buy water. The group was a mix of families (mostly) and a few solo travelers like myself.

I Musici Veneziani Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Tenor arias

Amy_E, Jun 2026

Great musicians but disappointed in stage characters

We really enjoyed this concert! The musicians were fantastic. My only complaint is that it would have been nice if the musicians were in the period stage makeup and hair as seen in the advertisements. They were dressed correctly, but that was it. We were hoping to get a real feeling of the entertainers of that era.

Venice Lagoon Islands: Murano & Burano Guided Tour

Day to the Venice lagoons

It was a good excursion to a Murano and Burano . Little crowded and minor delays. Our tour guide David spoke the most and told us entire history of Venice and even walked group to get a cookie in Burano. Went the extra mile for sure. Never did the third island and really not recommended. Burano was worth staying on longer!!!
