Best Tour Guide! Ask for Manuela!

5jsbfh2f4v, Mar 2023

Manuela was AMAZING!! She’s a native of Venice and is from multiple generations going back hundreds of years in Venice. She knows everything about the city, tells engaging stories, historical and personal experiences and kept all of us, including our teen boys fully engaged in every way. She’s funny, animated and clearly loves her job. She also has a YouTube channel & produces videos about visiting Venice and Italy. It was exactly what we were looking for and would highly recommend this tour and Manuela! She has 7 gondoliers in her family! You don’t get more Venetian than that! She took us to her favorite gelato place, recommended non-touristy restaurants & parts of the city to visit, explained the architecture, how Venice began and it’s importance on the Silk Road, Marco Polo’s family, etc. we saw so much of the city in such a short period of time but never felt rushed. I can’t say enough!! Manuela is the best!!!

Hardly A Ghost Tour

ELENA_B, Dec 2021

For an ancient city, we heard remarkably few ghost stories or even creepy myths. It was more of an evening walking tour of Venice with a few (not particularly interesting stories that lacked suspense). The guide was nice enough but - after having taken ghost tours in a number of other cities - we found this one disappointing. In short, if you're looking for a real ghost tour, don't pick this tour. If you want a pleasant enough evening stroll, this works.

Response from Host, Dec 2021

Dear Elena, first of all, thanks for your review and for bringing your experience to our attention. We’re so sorry to read that our tour did not match your expectations. We’re normally known for our exceptional attention to details and to our customers, and we regret that we missed the mark with you. We would like to point out that our Venice Ghost Tour covers sites of the city that are usually not included in a regular Evening Walking Tour, plus, could be that you expected dark stories of crimes and deaths, while our tour offers a more mysterious and melancholic side of the city. Anyway, we will use your feedback to make us better and to ensure the best experience to all our future guests. We hope to welcome you in Italy again to ensure you a 5-star tour!
