Venice walking tour

Robert_C, Oct 2025

Went on this on the day we arrived and it was a great way to get familiar with the city as we got a feeling for what we wanted to see later in more depth and how to get around. Our guide Flavia was excellent.

Thank you Flavia!

Meredith_L, Sep 2025

Flavia was a great tour guide. I appreciated that we avoided some of the crowded routes to the popular places. She pointed out so many interesting little things about Venice that felt more local versus the typical tour.

Desi was our guide who...

Syeda_Q, Mar 2025

Desi was our guide who was very informative and knowledgeable. We covered so much ground and learned a lot and got a good understanding of the layout of the city. However, it was not small group, we had 16 -18 people and there was no time for questions and clarifications. Nonetheless, we had a good time and got to see a lot.
