What are people saying about Venice

Michael_T, Jul 2026

The host was fantastic! She really Cared about the experience!

The host and captain arrived on time with the boat. They were very friendly and accommodating. The host was extremely knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Venice from her. More than I ever knew. The glass blowing experience was very cool to learn and watch but felt like one of the biggest tourist traps i've ever stepped foot in. There was this enormous pressure to buy glass products. Like overwhelming. The stuff is cool to look at but not my personal style nor did I have any interest in any way to buy glass while traveling with children.. lol.. read the room bro.. lol. after an awesome lesson you are led thru a gallery and almost expected to buy extremely over priced glass pieces. I'm a pretty confident and straightforward person and don't really fall prey to peer pressure by any means but I could see how it would feel very uncomfortable to someone who wasn't strong willed. You could have told me that your mom was dying and you needed to sell me fancy over priced glass and I would have said "i'm so sorry to hear, i hope all works out" and still would have walked out without buying glass.. But that's just me. PS i never ever purchase from stores that the sales people or staff don't make eye contact with me. If you want a reasonably priced way to see how glass is made and a small tour of venice, this is a cool one. But know you will almost be expected to buy expensive glass pieces. The cherry ontop was as we were leaving and saying thank you, the man tells us " it's so strange, usually people from the US like to buy the glass" i left feeling like ok, next stop please... anything more would have felt like begging to me.. after the glass experience the host and boat captain took us on a little tour and even walked around venice with us. She was so kind. She made it a very good experience for us.

Venice Doge's Palace & Prisons Tour

Monique_D, Jul 2026

Super Engaging Tour of the Doge's Palace

This was a fabulous tour of the Doge's Palace - interesting and engaging the entire time. Our tour guide, Edy, was extremely dynamic and pointed out interesting details about the Palace, the history of Venice, and other facts in a way that kept our rapt attention (including the attention of our 8 and 11 year old, who both loved the guide as well). She is a story-teller and is able to relay the history in a way that made it easy to follow and exciting. This is a must-see site in Venice that was made even better by our fabulous guide - highly recommend!

Incredible and unique...

Incredible and unique experience! Nico was an excellent guide and ensured we got the most out of our time. He engaged our kids, patiently answered their many questions and provided great support when one of our children started feeling ill from the heat. Quick action from Nico and others involved on the tour ensured she was feeling better quickly and we could all continue to enjoy the tour and the rest of our last day in Venice!

Private Excursion by Typical Venetian Motorboat to Murano, Burano and Torcello

Kerry_S, Jul 2026

A Great Tour, Thanks to Selena

Selena is what made this tour exceptional. As a Venetian, she shared fascinating local history and insights that made every stop more meaningful. She was warm, organized, and engaging, and truly elevated the entire experience. We also had a delicious lunch in Burano at Trexento Pasta, which was one of the highlights of the day. The only downside was the Murano glass showroom. It felt very sales-focused, and many of the pieces were extremely expensive. We later discovered on our own that not everything in the store was made in-house in Murano, and no one mentioned that during our visit. Aside from that, it was an excellent tour that we would definitely recommend, especially with Selena as your guide.

A wonderful tour

This was a wonderful tour. I felt we got to see the main highlights of Venice but also got to see places tourists don't typically see. The captain was polite, on time, very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. The boat was also very comfortable. I highly recommend this tour. It truly was the highlight of our trip to Venice and my kids aged 12 and 9 agreed.

Kristi_O, Jun 2026

Exceptional Guide, Exceptional Tour

This tour was absolutely fantastic and one of the highlights of our time in Venice. Having skip-the-line access to both St. Mark's Basilica and Doge's Palace made the experience seamless and allowed us to spend our time enjoying these incredible landmarks instead of waiting in line. Our guide was wonderful. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate about Venice's history, bringing each site to life with fascinating stories and details that we never would have learned on our own. She kept the tour interesting from beginning to end and was happy to answer questions along the way. From the breathtaking golden mosaics inside St. Mark's Basilica to the grand halls of Doge's Palace and the iconic Bridge of Sighs, every stop was unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice. It was well organized, informative, and absolutely worth it.

We had a great evening...

We had a great evening with Vittorio walking around Venice, seeing some of the big things and lots of little things you don't really find on your own. We tried some cicchetti from a favorite shop in his neighborhood (awesome treat!) and enjoyed a few stories about growing up in Venice. To really cap off a perfect night, he hooked us up with a truly great gondolier for an evening ride before dinner. What a great first night in Venice!

Speechless…

Mind-blowing experience. Our host was phenomenal - she connected with me (us : the tour group) by sharing stories and tales throughout the tour. Her knowledge is undeniably that of a true Venetian and her passion for her city is a privilege to experience. This tour (specifically with our tour guide) ranks in the top 3 experience in my life and I will highly recommend it to anyone. There is no other place in the world like this.
