What are people saying about Venice

Rekha_S, Oct 2026

Great Tour and Guide

The tour guide, Fillipo, was fantastic. He was funny, engaging and covered a lot of background and history about Venice the Basilica and the Doge Palace. I really enjoyed listening to him. While the tour itself was fine, I was disappointed that there was no toilet provided in the City Wonder's (tour operator), meeting space/office, where the tour group registered and waited for the tour to begin. When I mentioned this to the lady on duty there, saying that it was not right that a toilet is not provided for customers, she gave me a flippant answer saying "often there are many things that are not right in the world"!! Shows a stunning lack of customer care and absolutely no concern or respect for the customer's basic needs!!

Outstanding experience

Our guide Pamela was outstanding. She was pleasant and obviously very experienced and knowledgeable. Although there was a lot to see in the 3 hours, she didn't overload us with too much information at one time. The pace was just right. The tour itself was wonderful. We're very glad we included the terrace access because it gave a whole different perspective. I would highly recommend this tour.

See/eat in Venice like a local

Such a great way to experience life in Venice. We learned so much about different cheeses, salami vs soppressa, DOC wine and VSP restaurants/shops.

Philip_M, Oct 2026

Just as advertised and worth it!

Our guide was wonderful! The history she told was very interesting and important for a better appreciation of what we saw, especially at the Basilica. The tour of the Palace is longer and be prepared for lots of stairs and standing for a long time, but it was fascinating. The gondola ride was very nice, about 25 minutes through neighborhoods as well as the Grand Canal. There 4-5 people in a gondola so be prepared for that.

Venice: St.Mark's Basilica & Doge's Palace Tour with Tickets

Kathleen_M, Oct 2026

Don't Miss this Detailed Tour of Doge's Palace and a Visit to St. Mark's while in Venice

Excellent guide, very personable and knowledgeable, native of Venice. She gave a thorough and extremely interesting tour of Doge's Palace, which was fascinating, comprising the bulk of the tour. Following Doge's Palace, we had 20-30 minutes in St. Mark's Basilica with our guide. St. Mark's was beautful and impressive. Just the right amount of time to dedicate to these two key sites while in Venice (2-3 hours). Highly recommend!

Venice in a Day: St Mark's Basilica, Doge's Palace & Gondola Ride

robert_m, Oct 2026

Great too w/ a bit too much Doge

The tour was totally worth it. It covered alot of territory, focusing on St. Mark's Cathedral, Rialto Sq and Bridge, a gondala ride, and Doge's palace. The guide spoke very good english. The gondola ride was well assigned so usually a couple gets to sit in the love seat in the middle. The time in Doge's palace as about 45 minutes longer than it needed to be. The walk around was moderately limited but just getting to/from any tour in Venice pretty much requires the use of water-buses which gives you good views of the Venice shorelines and lots of opportunity to hop-off/hop-on. (Buy a longer pass ticket and its no-muss-no-fuss.
