What are people saying about Venice

Cathy_G, Oct 2026

Wonderful experience

This was a great tour. Tons of information, views, and history. Lots of walking and stairs but the break was helpful. Truly enjoyed all I learned on this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and gives you real sense life in Venice so long ago. There was quite a bit of information learned that was surprising and shocking. The feeling of walking across the Bridge of Sighs and heading into the prison was truly a unique experience. I really enjoyed hearing the clock bells while on the terrace of the cathedral.

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

Cathy_G, Oct 2026

Fabulous Tour

This tour was so much fun. The private boat was nice since you can safely leave stuff onboard. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny, with years of conducting tours (therefore lots of stories). The glass blowing demonstration in Murano was truly amazing as was visiting the showroom. What I really appreciated was the fact there was something there for everyone and at all different price ranges. Burano was so neat to see. It was interesting to hear about how the lace was made and the skill required. There was time to explore and/or grab a bite to eat. Coming back to Venice via a different route provided a chance to see other islands and marsh areas with migratory birds. This tour was definitely worth the money.

This was a great tour. Easy meeting location, really great guide (Roberta), and Doge Palace and St. Marks are incredible.
