What are people saying about Venice

Patty_M, Oct 2026

Great Food Tour

This was a wonderful tour, and I highly recommend it at the start of your visit to Venice. Beside tasting lots of delicious food and wine, you will learn so much about Venice itself. Its a great introduction to the city. Carlo was the best, so much information, so animated in the telling, so concerned that everyone had a great experience. He was wonderful. Not sure you can ask for him, but try if you can.

One of the best tours...

One of the best tours I’ve ever taken. Going first thing in the morning to the Doge palace before anyone else, was truly amazing. Elena our guide was absolutely fantastic. Funny, memorable, deep knowledge and was amazing communicator who kept us laughing and explained details that only a native of Venice could know.

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!!

Exceptional private tour experience!

Our guide, Soroush, is incredibly knowledgeable on the history on Venice. We learned many interesting facts. The gondola ride was a wonderful, memorable finish. Highly recommend opting for a private guide, ad it also gives you an opportunity to ask as many questions you want.

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

deannewiberg, Oct 2026

Clare was our guide and...

Clare was our guide and was a lot of fun as well as knowledgeable about St Mark’s and the Doges Palace. She had all of our names memorized before the tour started. We were 7 adult family members. I have some mobility issues and she made sure I was able to use the elevator. The headphones worked well for our small group tour to hear well.

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.
