What are people saying about Venice

Murano and Burano from Venice - with Mrs.Gin

We had an excellent tour guide Mrs. Gin for this trip and it was amazing. The visit to the glass factory in Murano was worth seeing and also the various glass exhibits were extra ordinary. Also the visit to Burano’s amazing colored houses was so picturesque. Also, saw some lace making which was very minimal though. But just visiting the place was so nice. Now, talking about Mrs.Gin, she was a local and had amazing knowledge about Venice. So it was great to see and hear a lot of great stories from her about Venice. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Great Experience

Great experience with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Just the right amount of information to make things very interesting without feeling like we spent too much time at any one spot. Add details we would have otherwise missed if we had visited the sites in our own.

Beautiful church and good ceilings

Our tour guide was Sandra from city wonders. We had a 2 hour tour of Doges Palace and St Marks. It was enough time for us. Sandra gave us alot of information but it was all interesting. To me Doge Palace was all about the gold trimmed ceilings. They are magnificent but after a bit they all look alike. We spent at least an hour in there and then onto St Marks. What a beautiful church. If you need to sit this is not a good tour for you, not because of Sandra, but because there are no places it is allowed, not even in the church. If you don't do a tour make sure you buy your tickets in advance as they were sold out by 11am and it is early October.

Good tour of the palace & the cathedral. Our tour guide Roberta was excellent. Knowledgeable @ enthusiast. The gondola experience could have been better. The driver was cranky & talked a lot to the other ones which detracted from what should have been a serene experience

Our guide, Luisa, was very knowledgeable and organized. We had a great day on this tour and saw areas we likely would have missed without her guiding us. The tour is long, especially while in the palace, but the headsets were great and it was worth our time. Be prepared for a lot of walking and stairs. But nothing too strenuous. It was a great day!

Outstanding tour of the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s!

We had an incredible experience on our small group tour of the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica yesterday! Our guide was wonderfully friendly, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable, sharing captivating stories and fascinating historical facts throughout the tour. The pace was perfectly comfortable, with well-timed breaks along the way so we never felt rushed or fatigued. Touring in a small group made a huge difference as well. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice

Murano and Burano were straight out of a post card. The tour was the perfect length — not rushed but not too long, either. Flavia was a great tour guide. She was knowledgeable, friendly, funny and helpful. She took very good care of the whole group and made navigation easy.

Venice Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with wine by Cooking Italy

Christina_J, Oct 2026

Its a memory of a lifetime, nothing else has even come close to this class!!!

We did this experience last October when we were in Italy. We are still talking about it because every cooking class that we have taken since then has been a disappointment. This class sets the bar incredibly HIGH for anything that comes after. The teachers were incredibly passionate about what they did, very good at teaching us the Hands-On skills to be able to take the knowledge home and be able to really cook and make homemade pasta. All of the people that were in our class had a great time and we're very friendly. Thank you for helping us make a memory that will last a lifetime!!
