Walking history, tour of Venice

This is a great way to see a lot of Venice and it’s historical venues in one day. Our guide, Nico was very knowledgeable and presented the history of Venice extremely effectively. It’s a great way to see a lot of Venice quickly. The walk-through the palace was very interesting as well. Nico did a great job. I would highly recommend it.

Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine in Venice

Graham_W, Apr 2026

Very enjoyable experience

We really enjoy a cooking class on our travels and this was an excellent one. We were in a group of about 20 but the activities were all individual. We each made tiramisu and two types of fresh pasta which were later served to us for lunch, accompanied by wine. The tutors were friendly and helpful throughout and brought a great sense of fun to the whole experience. We were subsequently sent the recipes which we cant wait to try out again.

Great way to efficiently see 2 main sites in Venice, learn some history, and do it all in 2.5-3.0 hours

Tour guide (very nice lady) provided interesting insights without overwhelming the guests. Kept the tour moving, hitting the highlights, without overdoing it. My family was very happy with the tour. You could spend all day in these sites if you wanted, but for us, we just wanted to see the key items, take some photos, and move on. It was perfect for us.

Shannon, our your house...

Shannon, our tour guide was outstanding. Incredibly knowledge and personable. We had walked through the Basilica prior to the tour but the tour provided us the history and meaning behind the artwork, which improved our experience. Shannon was able to answer all our questions. It was 10/10!

Murano & Burano Islands Guided Small-Group Tour by Private Boat

Jeffrey_G, Apr 2026

Great trip for the day

Susanne was a wonderful guide and was very knowledgable about all things Murano and Burano. The glass blowing and the pieces that we saw in Murano was amazing. Burano was a cute town and we had the chance to walk around and have lunch. This was a great chance to get out of Venice and see other things. Highly recommend!

Half Day Murano and Burano Island Tour by Private Boat

Phyllis_L, Apr 2026

Great Tour

This was a great tour. Our guide Gaia, was very informative and entertaining throughout the tour by adding her own stories to her narrative. Our boat driver (I didn’t catch his name but his boat’s name was Snoopy) was great too. He was very helpful with getting on and off the boat. The boat was comfortable and warm which was needed on a cool rainy day. Both islands were interesting to see although I did enjoy walking around Burano more than just seeing the glass demonstration and wandering around the sales floor. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and I would recommend and ask for Gaia!

Best Of Venice: Saint Mark's Basilica, Doges Palace with Guide and Gondola Ride

Jordan_S, Apr 2026

Great Tour!

Had a great time being shown around the highlights of Venice with Roberta. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Smaller group tour of 15 which was really great not to get lost from the group. The tours of the Doge's palace and St. Marc Basilica we're short but sweet, getting the most important information and nice insights about the art and the history of the monuments. Gondola ride was a nice inclusion in the tour, definetly a different perspective of the city. There was an ample lunch break to be left for you to explore although Roberta gave us a few recommendations and we also went to walk through some of the quieter streets and squares at the end, which was nice to explore a little more! All in all I think this was a really nice snapshot of the highlights of Venice

Westley_H, Apr 2026

It’s a bit of a long day...

It’s a bit of a long day but we enjoyed it. The boat rides help break up all of the walking portions. We traveled to a two different islands by private boat and spent time learning about glass making and lace making. In the afternoon we had a great tour of Doge as well as St Marc’s Basillica. I would recommend this tour to others

Wonderful, Informative, Highly Recommended

Tony was a wonderful host. This is our first time in Venice, and this is certainly one of the highlights of our trip. I especially appreciate his attention to detail and the personalized care he was able to show us. Venice is a beautiful city, and I think we were able to gain a deeper appreciation and understanding thanks to Tony’s guidance. The tour ended with a peaceful, relaxing gondola ride, which is something that we were both looking forward to. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Venice.

A day in Venice

Perfect! Our guide for the Basilica a the Doge was Lucia. Sweet, very knowledgeable and funny! Headphones for narration were great! Great group size(12-15?)and pace was perfect. Gondola and virtually reality portions were great as well. Perfect way to check off ALL of the “must see” items in a day!
