Top Venice Tours, Sightseeing & Cruises - page 50

This is a unique tour and recommended for travellers that are curious to understand and experience the local history and flavor. The local tour guide offers immersive and in depth cultural knowledge, local customs while uncovering local hidden gems not marketed by the traditional tours and more importantly, it was safe. We asked to be brought to food haunts to experience where locals frequent and the food experience was nothing short of fantastic. In addition we walked through the streets of Venice and given a history of each district we visited including the uniqueness of each of the places we visited and relationship between them. This was never anticipated but added to the understanding on how these districts evolved over time. This was our first time in having a local guide and we have no regrets and only praises for this unique experience as our guide was very articulate, patient and in our opinion experienced and knowledgeable. Our guide Gio was exceptional and made our experience memorable. Before we parted, our local guide introduced local restaurants serving local Venetian food. We tried his recommendation and was not disappointed in both taste and value.

Unfortunately it was raining and snowing so hard we did not get to see the dolomites… but our tour guide Giovanni was very professional that he improvised our schedule and had us do something meaningful in place of the actual tour. It’s Giovanni’s professionalism, patience, and the fact that he did his best to do the tour until we could no longer proceed safely that still made it worthwhile for me. From my perspective, not having seen the dolomites as planned just gives me a reason to come back next time!

Our guide Valentina was excellent, which was amazing as she was guiding for the third time that day. We visited so much of Venice that was like a hop on bus so we knew where and how to return to tour the landmarks she pointed out. Because she walked us away from the crowds, we saw charming back streets. A knowledgable guide and memorable experience.

This was a great day out, make sure you dress up well for the cold seas (it was December!). The trip was well organised and our guide was knowledgeable and shares lots of information. The boat ride was good and nobody seemed to be suffering from sickness. The islands were good. The trip to the lace factory is short and mainly a sales pitch. We enjoyed a panini at a local cafe and this was good

Beatrice is awesome! She knows all the local customs and traditions and tells you the history of the area and shows you how to get around. Plus, she clearly has an established relationship with the stops along the tour and it was lovely to see. Highly recommend.

Julia was an excellent guide. She is a native Venetian. She shared many interesting facts. I appreciate that the tour took a less crowded path. The starting place was odd. The colorful wall with art is really your only indication that you are in the right place. I like history and facts. Very straightforward. I can’t say that I was wowed, but it was of decent value for the price. This is not the tour if you want to be entertained. I think children would be extremely bored.

Absolutely excellent despite the rainy weather. Our tour guide,Lucia, was amazing. She not only knows her world history and art history but has in-depth knowledge of Venetian history and culture. The gondola ride was nice but spoiled by the bad weather. We’d highly recommend this tour.

The tour was fabulous!! We highly recommend Sneh Wayne as your guide. Sneh’s walking tour of Venice includes history but also relevant information about Venice today. It was a wonderful balance and Sneh kept my husband engaged!!! This was the best walking tour of our Italy trip!!!
