What are people saying about Venice

Cathy_J, Apr 2026

Wonderful tour!

This was a fantastic tour done by our guide, Luigi. This was such a wonderful way to see the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello in a beautiful boat. In Murano we were able to visit a glass factory where we watched a master glass maker show his craft. We also were able to view completed items for purchase if we wanted. Although we went by it, we did not stop in Torcello. It did not seem like there was too much to see there and we were happy to devote the extra time in Burano, where we were able to see the beautifully colorful buildings, shop and have a nice lunch. Our group consisted of 8 tourists total and Luigi was able to give the tour in both English and French. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone. It was a great value and we enjoyed the day tremendously.

Kayaking the canals of Venice

Teresa was a fantastic guide, so helpful and accommodating. She ensured everybody was safe and enjoying themselves throughout the tour, gave us some great insight into parts of Venice. It’s a great way to do something a little different on the canals of Venice.

Rialto Market Tour & Private Cooking Class in the Heart of Venice

Brad_S, Sep 2025

Amazing experience! We would give it 6 stars if we could.

Amazing lunch with Massimo! Unforgettable experience and the best way to start our vacation in Italy. Massimo is as talented as he is personable and kind. After welcoming us into his home he made us feel like long lost Italian family, teaching us the secret traditions of his mother and grandmother. Truly an experience we will never forget and the best pasta we’ve ever had!

Mask Workshop - Paint Your Own Venetian Mask in Venice, Italy

Fredrik_H, Jul 2025

Family crafting in lovely shop

A creative crafting session with nice and knowledgeable staff. Good selection of masks to start from, but inquire if a specific model is wanted. The workshop is held in a separate studio from main store, but still offer hundreds of masks for inspiration. Each staff member paints masks as well as alternate to host the workshop. Our hostess was very helpful overall with an introduction in basic techniques and offering additional tools and colors as well as advice when requested. As the eight staff members have their individual styles you may deep dive if wanted (time and crowd permitting). Most enjoyable if not too many (up to 10), multiple groups may book the same time. However they handle large groups (20+) but the space will be limited.

Venice: Home Cooking Experience with a Local by Cesarine

Janet_C, Jun 2025

One of the best things we did in our trip!

What an amazing experience! Communication prior to the tour was excellent! The instructions were explicit on how to find the beautiful home which was conveniently located by a water taxi. The chef, Patrizia made us feel comfortable and welcome. She provided support, encouragement, and excellent demonstrations on how to make 3 items. They were excellent, and I left with new skills as well as a list she completed with food items, recipes, and equipment-purchase suggestions. What an incredible way to enjoy family and friends in an interactive activity!

We enjoyed our morning...

We enjoyed our morning walking through the market with Lorenzo. We prepared fish and vegetables from the market and made fresh pasta from scratch. After preparing our meal we had a lovely lunch together and spent time just visiting in Lorenzo’s kitchen. An all-together memorable day!
