Wonderful tour and...

Rob_W, Sep 2026

Wonderful tour and gondola ride through Venice. The host was very friendly and made sure everything was pleasant.

Perfect tour option!

Micky_T, Apr 2026

Alex was our guide, very knowledgeable and helpful beyond the tour itself. The self guided audio tour was exactly what we wanted and loved. Alex explained how the tour works, showed us how to navigate the tour app and gave alot of tips for exploring. We walked at our own pace which was great. Sometimes we walk fast and there are times we want to hang back and absorb. We may not gave explored this particular tour route if it weren't for the San Marco Tour with Gondola Traghetto Crossing. We recommend doing this on your first day!
