LaDonna_B, Oct 2026

Outstanding tour of the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s!

We had an incredible experience on our small group tour of the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica yesterday! Our guide was wonderfully friendly, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable, sharing captivating stories and fascinating historical facts throughout the tour. The pace was perfectly comfortable, with well-timed breaks along the way so we never felt rushed or fatigued. Touring in a small group made a huge difference as well. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice

Venice In a Day St Mark's Doges Palace Gondola Ride and City Tour

Gillian_V, Oct 2026

This was one of the...

This was one of the highlights of our time in Venice. Giuliano was a fantastic guide — warm, engaging, knowledgeable, and very easy to spend the day with. We visited so many of Venice’s iconic sights, including Doge’s Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and St. Mark’s Basilica, and also enjoyed a gondola ride as part of the tour. Giuliano did a wonderful job of bringing the history and stories of Venice to life without ever making it feel like a history lecture. What we appreciated most was the pace of the day. We covered a lot, but it still felt relaxed and enjoyable, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and really take everything in. If you only have a limited amount of time in Venice and want to see the major highlights while also learning about the city, this is an excellent tour. We would absolutely recommend it — and Giuliano especially!

Skip-the-Line: Doge's Palace & St. Mark's Basilica Fully Guided Tour

Beautiful church and good ceilings

Our tour guide was Sandra from city wonders. We had a 2 hour tour of Doges Palace and St Marks. It was enough time for us. Sandra gave us alot of information but it was all interesting. To me Doge Palace was all about the gold trimmed ceilings. They are magnificent but after a bit they all look alike. We spent at least an hour in there and then onto St Marks. What a beautiful church. If you need to sit this is not a good tour for you, not because of Sandra, but because there are no places it is allowed, not even in the church. If you don't do a tour make sure you buy your tickets in advance as they were sold out by 11am and it is early October.

Great island trip

Elena is such a great tour guide! She shared so many history about Venice and her passion for Venice showed in her tour. She is warm and personable and we really love this island tour. You definitely should check it out. The glass blowing factory was great but if you are wanting to buy some small glass souvenirs, wait till you get to Burano , the prices are much better there and it's the same Murano glass.

Venice Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with wine by Cooking Italy

Christina_J, Oct 2026

Its a memory of a lifetime, nothing else has even come close to this class!!!

We did this experience last October when we were in Italy. We are still talking about it because every cooking class that we have taken since then has been a disappointment. This class sets the bar incredibly HIGH for anything that comes after. The teachers were incredibly passionate about what they did, very good at teaching us the Hands-On skills to be able to take the knowledge home and be able to really cook and make homemade pasta. All of the people that were in our class had a great time and we're very friendly. Thank you for helping us make a memory that will last a lifetime!!

Marco was a great guide!! He had us laughing the whole time with his witty humor. Very knowledgeable and walked away from the experience with a lot of information.

Jennifer_P, Sept 2026

Beautiful! Office locations are a bit challenging for someone who is not yet familiar with the area.

The tour was amazing. We got bumped to the 2pm tour because the Basilica was closed in the morning. Very busy, I suggest to go in the morning. Make sure to have good directions to the office. And, when done with tour make sure to know how to get to second office to check in before Gondola tour. We were given general directions and were lost for 30 minutes. We were 10 minutes late but still make the ride. Enjoy!
