An absolute must do!

The tour is a balanced mix of education, culture, and leisure. Elly was super informative, fun, enthusiastic and offered herself up to answer questions and provide recommendations as needed for the rest of our individual trips. Murano and Burano are must see!

Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Alessia is very good at her job, it was fascinating to find out more about Venice life from a local. Burano is beautiful, our time was short there, only 1 hour, I would not mind staying and exploring a bit longer. Murano glassmaking was interesting too, one of a kind experience! Shout out to our captain Maximo( hope I am spelling it right) for a smooth ride and great docking. Reminded me of parking on a busy NYC street while fighting for your spot!

We had a great experience...

We had a great experience on our St. Mark’s Basilica tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and did a great job explaining the history and significance of the basilica. The tour was well organized, informative, and kept us engaged throughout. St. Mark’s Basilica is absolutely beautiful, and having a guide helped us appreciate the details and history that we probably would have missed on our own. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth doing if you’re visiting Venice!
