What are people saying about Venice

MaryBeth_A, May 2026

Great side trip from Venice if you have the time.

We would definitely recommend this trip. Our guide Alex was very knowledgeable & did a great job giving us background on the islands in the lagoon & the industries on the different islands. It brought the growth of Venice & how the lagoon islands fit into the day to day of Venice to life. We enjoyed watching the beautiful glass making in Murano and the colorful island of Burano charmed us. Keep an eye on the clock for lunch. Can get a little close.

Dolomites & Cortina Small Group Tour from Venice

Sukh_S, May 2026

Great introduction to the Dolomites. If you have never been, do it.

It was a quick getaway to the mountains from Venice. In an hour we were into the pretty pre alps and then another hour into the Dolomites proper which are stunning and even more beautiful than the Alps in my opinion. We enjoyed the views. Our driver knew the area well, made impromptu stops for pictures and some for a brief background history before he would drive to our stop. We spent time in Cortina and then at Motrin’s lake at the foot of the Tre Cema de Lavaredo park for lunch. There was ample time to walk around the lake after lunch. The views across the lake in every direction were amazing. Then we stopped in Auronzo to look at another beautiful lake. And then for our final stop we stopped in Longarone for some yummy ice cream.

Outstanding

The experience was outstanding. Even though the weather was not the best, with rain and cold temperatures, especially for us being Floridians from Miami, we truly enjoyed it. Our tour guide, Ariana did an amazing job explaining the history of Venice and combining it with her own personal experiences, which made the tour even more special and interesting.

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

Lori_W, May 2026

Good small group tour of Murano and Burano

This was a fun way to spend a day. Our small group was first taken by a private boat to the island of Murano. We saw a short glass blowing demonstration, which was interesting. We then walked around their shop which had gorgeous glass pieces followed by time to stroll Murano. After that, we were taken by private boat again, to Burano. There we saw a short lacemaking demonstration and had a lot of time to wander the area, to see the colorful buildings and have lunch. I also chose to see the lace museum, which was an interesting way to spend half an hour. From there, we met up at our assigned spot and took a private boat back to Venice. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and the tour felt well organized.

Great trip to the Dolomites

Our trip to the Dolomites was unforgettable. We were surrounded by stunning mountains. The weather was perfect throughout the trip, making every moment even more enjoyable. We visited the crystal-clear lakes and explored the charming town of Cortina d'Ampezzo. Our guide was kind and energetic, always keeping the group engaged and excited. The trip was well organized, and the scenery felt like something from a postcard. It was a wonderful experience filled with adventure, relaxation, and amazing memories. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves nature and mountain landscapes.

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

Rodney_L, May 2026

Great comprehensive tour and awesome gondola ride

This tour is broken up into two different parts - our first being the trip to Murano and Burano, and the second back on the main island to do the tours of Doge’s and St. Mark’s (with gondola). We had two different guides for each part. Both Flavia and Marco were exceptional and fun. The Murano demonstration of glass making is great, but after that it feels like you are in a shopping mall with high pressure salespeople at the kiosk. Burano is AMAZING. I really wish we could have just skipped Murano entirely or left after the demonstration to spend more time on Burano, but it is what it is. We returned on time to join the group for Doge’s, St. Mark’s and the gondola ride. The basilica is gorgeous, the palace is awesome-inspiring, and the gondola ride included with this tour was so much better than the one we paid 90 euros for ourselves, preciously (although this is a shred gondola, but great to meet new friends). If you want a day of hitting the hotspots of Venice and beyond, this is the tour for you.

I highly recommend this tour!

I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to taste great wine from family owned wineries. The owners were amazing and took the time to explain so much about the wineries and wine production. The different type of wine I tried were great! Francesca was amazing as well! She made me feel like we were life long friends.

Venice Lagoon Islands: Murano & Burano Guided Tour

Anonymous, Apr 2026

Burano alone is worth it.

We did the trip to murano and Burano and were supposed to go to Torchello but opted not to, after speaking to our guide. Murano was a tourist trap and a waste of time. Burano was much cuter and more interesting. Our British tour guide, David, was FABULOUS. He made the trip amazing and interesting.

Create your Lamborghini and Ferrari day from Venice

Jill_B, Aug 2025

Amazing Tour!!!

I booked this tour for my husband’s birthday as he is a car enthusiast, and I’m so glad I did. Caterina is absolutely amazing. We toured the Pagani and Lamborghini factories before she took us to a fabulous restaurant. The owners even surprised my husband with a birthday treat and sang to him. I strongly recommend adding the Lamborghini driving experience. It was exhilarating ride and like no other. We ended the day touring the Ferrari museum and home with THE most beautiful cars. Our last stop was the Lamborghini museum with our own private tour. I cannot recommend this tour enough! Caterina is incredibly knowledgeable and a great person who treats you like you’re family. Her number is +39 393 8270939 - you won’t be sorry.
