MaryJo_H, Aug 2026

Day trip to sea glass blowing and lace making

Awesome day trip to see glass blowing and lace making. Our tour guide Alex, was extremely knowledgeably and very humorous. She gave a lot of fun details about the history of the area on our way to and from Venice on the boat. She also gave great suggestions on where to eat in Venice. Would highly recommend this tour.

Venice Today and Yesterday

Excellent tour of Venetian history, St Marks Square, Doges Palace, St Marks Cathedral. Our guide had an amazing background in the history of the islands, the timepieces, politics, religion, artwork and architecture of the period and today. Very worthwhile tour if you’re going to visit Venice!

Abigail was the perfect...

Abigail was the perfect guide for our Doge’s Palace tour! She was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in a way that was interesting and easy to follow. Her sense of humor made exploring in the summer heat so much more enjoyable, and we really appreciated all of her recommendations and little tips along the way. She made the history come to life without ever making the tour feel overwhelming. Such a great experience and we would absolutely recommend touring with Abigail!

Remarkably complete, highly recommended

Marie-Therese was extremely knowledgable, in particular with respect to the art and architecture. She had a terrific sense of humor that she used to great effect in conveying historical perspectives in an engaging, informative style that made it fun. I think we hit everything that could be expected in a day, without feeling rushed or having anything glossed over. Well done.

Historical tour with a gondola ride

Awesome tour with alot of historical info. Our tour guide was humorous and very knowledgeable and had a very good grasp of the English language. Gondola ride at the end was such an amazing experience and a great way to end a walking tour. Highly recommend this activity.

Gondola Ride with Private Walking Tour in Venice

Thomas_M, Aug 2026

Get introduced to Venice

We only had one day in Venice, so we wanted a condensed, but non-pressured, tour. Our lovely guide, Fari, was perfect. We met in an area about a 20-minute walk from our hotel and then strolled back toward our hotel. Our tour was complicated by a deluge which required a prolonged stop at a local pizzeria to stay dry (there are worse places to wait out a storm), so the tour probably wasn't as extensive as it would be without the rain. Fari is personable and obviously loves what she does. The gondola ride at the end was icing on the cake.

Touring Venice with some spice!

Valentina was a great tour guide. What a fun and interesting experience. Learning about the history of Venice and touring the buildings where so much history was lived out in indescribable. The architecture is phenomenal, the city is beautiful and the tour was so much fun. Thank you Valentina!

Half Day Murano & Burano Islands Small Group Tour by Private Boat

Jan_H, Aug 2026

Absolutely MUST SEE!!

This is a must see. These two islands represent a history of Venice that you will not get anywhere else. The island of Murano and and the spectacular display of Murano glass is woven into the history of Venice. Burano was extremely quaint and adorable with a lot of really cool shops. I wish we’d had longer to spend there. The tour guide offers you the option of staying on Burano and coming back yourself. This is an option you should take.

Wonderful and informative tour with Alex

Alex was an incredible guide. His wealth of knowledge and passion for history was second to none. Without him, we wouldn’t have known all of the incredible history about the prisons, the Senate, the judging room and even Casanova. I can’t recommend Alex enough!

St. Mark's, Doge's Palace & Gondola Ride with Murano and Burano

Helene_H, Aug 2026

Perfect way to start Venice exploration.

We booked this trip as the double tour with Murano/Burano islands. This part of the trip has so much information and our guide was a wealth of knowledge. I do believe you need a guide to help you understand the history of both entities. The Gondola ride was an added treat. We were very happy we did the double tour and had a free day to explore the Lido.

Dana_H, Jul 2026

Spectacular day trip!

Great day in the mountains! Chiara, our guide, was fantastic! She gave us a lot of information about each area we drove through and visited. She made sure everyone was informed and on time. Sergei, our driver, kept us safe on the winding and narrow roads. Beautiful scenery all day long! The Dolomites, lakes, and towns did not disappoint!! And the stop for cheese and gelato was sooooo good! Highly recommend!
