This was a great way to learn about the city on our first day. We struggled with jet lag but our guide managed to keep up moving and awake, then left us at a great LOCAL restaurant for our first meal in Venice.
Our guide was a lovely older gentleman, born and raised in Vienna. He was friendly, knowledgable, and funny! He gave great advice and recommendations, it was because of him that I ended up going to the Albertina- I don't think it would have been on my list and it ended up being a highlight of my trip. I'd recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vienna for the first time.
We learned so much about the history of Venice, how the city was "made" structurally, so much more. We visited the famous bookstore, the best chocolate shop, many other interesting stops, then ended up at St. Marks Square where we got more great information. Our tour guide, Majid, was absolutely fabulous. Would definitely do the same tour with him next time in Venice.
We had a lovely tour of Venice with Sneh (Wayne). We saw a part of Venice that most tourists never visit. We learned so much about the history of the city. As Venice turns into a Disneyland type experience, it was a treat to have Wayne show us the backstreets and alleyways of the Venice he loves.
This well organized and orchestrated. The guide was clear and engaged and helpful. The whisper lites are never very good and these weren’t either for Simeon who wears hearing aids but I stood by the guide and could generally hear. So well done.
Amazing 5 star excursion with insights on Venice and surrounding neighborhoods, places to eat. Very knowledgeable with the history of Venice. Great intro tour!
Gabri was great. He was enthusiastic and amazing at winding us through the streets to show us a Venice you would never find on your own.
Amazing tour and exceptional tour guide. She was the best! If you like to know the history of what you are seeing this is the one to take. I would do it again if I had the chance.
Wonderful, informative tour. Zahra was a fabulous guide. She was very knowledgeable and taught us so much about Venice.
Totally worth every penny! Sneh was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide who took us to lesser known areas and provided so much history! Excellent!!!
We had a wonderful time on this walking tour. Majid was exceedingly knowledgeable and showed us sights we would never have seen otherwise. We learned a lot about the history and culture of Venice and would highly recommend Majid and this tour!
When in a new city, it's great to have an expert who has lived there for a long time to take you to the places you might not have seen otherwise. I enjoyed meeting the mask maker and finding an authentic Italian family-run restaurant. Loved learning some quick history about some of the sites too!
Magid is a lovely man and a very good guide. I so appreciated the history of the city and the hidden gems, in addition to the most iconic spots.
I really liked seeing Venice from a behind the scenes. Less crowded and fun stories about history of Venice.
We had the pleasure of having Zahra as our guide in Venice, and she truly made our experience special. With a degree in Literature and Art and a wealth of knowledge about Venice, she brought the city to life as we walked.
Our three-hour walking tour took us through hidden gems and lesser-known corners of Venice. Zahra shared stories and insights along the way, and we learned so much while exploring the city. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
Zahra was also incredibly kind and thoughtful, even taking some lovely photos of us along the way. She was knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate about Venice.
We would highly recommend Zahra to anyone looking for a memorable and enriching experience in Venice!
The tour did not hit all the contemplated itinerary, but the tour guide took me to less known and tourity sites with great historical facts about the history of Venice
Best guide (Sneh) who showed us the parts of Venice that most tourist may not see. Along with a wonderful history of Venice and how it became.
Then he gave us a great list of recommendations for eating and best gelato which we tried three of his recommendations since the tour and can rate them highly.
Majid has been a great host for us. We took the tour as a family of four and there were only 2 other ladies in our tour. Being a small group really made the conversations much more tailored and we were able to ask lots of questions.
Majid knows a lot about the history of the city, the architecture, the culture and ‘why’s of the city. Why are there many arcs between the buildings? Why are there small bowl-like structures by the wells? Why we don’t see many detached buildings? etc..
We learned so much not only about the attractions of Venice, but also the life in Venice.
The icing on the cake was a visit to the chocolate and lemoncello-tastings in the dedicated shops!!
I strongly suggest this tour and Majid as a guide. Make sure you pin each location visited as it is difficult to find later on as you’ll want to visit again!!
We learned a lot about Venice, some history, and some little things we did not notice. We had questions that were all answered as well. We were also very happy to learn about the architecture of venice. It was great to experience some of the best shops for things like Chocolate.
Excellent tour through some of the less touristy areas of Venice. Sneh was a really excellent guide - knowledgable and very well spoken. Highly recommended.
Small group, was great
Vittorio was super flexible and adapted the tour to what the group wanted to see
He was great with teenagers in the group
Great tour if you want to see the real
Venice and not just the tourist attractions. Very knowledgeable guide
Our tour guide was Sneh. We had tons of confusion a few days prior to this tour about who needs to get what tickets , ended up being this is a local guide vs licensed tour guide , so he was not allowed to go near any historical buildings, we had no idea . Overall he was good. He just needs to keep his political views to himself.
First class storytelling. Venice history in a nutshell. Recomendation for all tourists comming here first time.
Sneh Wayne Was an excellent guide. So knowledgeable and nice. He has a drear disposition and shared so much history. Easy to understand. Highly recommend
Very informative about this history of Venice & its place in the world over the years. Would recommend.
The tour was very good and informative. The tour guide was very accommodating. We had a small group of about 7 people so it felt very personal. Finding the tour guide was a little difficult in the beginning.
Wonderful intro to Venice. Jack was our guide and led us to all the important areas to see but also off the beaten path little treasures. So informative. Also gave us notes of his favorite places. Really fantastic guide and great experience of culture, history and stories.
Zahra was a wonderful guide for our 3hr walking tour of Venice, showing us some of the main highlights of the city and surprised us with some hidden gems! She delighted us with a special bookstore and an authentic carnival mask shop that had us feeling like we were stepping back in time. We really appreciated the time we spent with her and she made sure we stayed hydrated in the 30+C heat. Highly recommend this experience if you are looking for a more “off the beaten path” tour of Venice.
We had a tremendous time with our tour guide, Sneh. I have been on 10+ tours with Viator. All over the world. I will say this is one of the best I’ve ever been on. It’s a non-traditional tour, so you’re going to get to see more of the “real” Venice— parts you wouldn’t likely see on your own or on an historical tour. I learned so much today. And our guide was both personable and knowledgeable. A 10 out of 10!
