The dark side of the dark side

Valentin was great! He was super funny and engaging. It's nice to have a new/young guide endeavor to convey the real life darkness behind the legends, the real people affected by historical norms. The pacing was nice, we saw a lot but didn't feel rushed

Good tour.

We enjoyed this tour, but some of the stories were a bit more far fetched than those we've heard on other tours. Perhaps the guide could do a bit more research to make them more spooky. Otherwise a fun way to spend a couple of hours and there were some great bits on the history of the place. It also gave us more of a feel for the life of normal people in the city, as most of the big tourist bits focus more on the nobles.

The spooky alleyways of Venice

Our guide was a great storyteller! It was spooky, yet informative regarding the history of Venice. We enjoyed the picture taking at the Rialto Bridge and the surprise visit to the spiral staircase. Very interesting evening walk!

Fantastic experience

Booked super last minute just looking for something to do and learn a little of the history. Valentine was entertaining and informative. Would definitely recommend.

Not worth your time

Guide seemed bored and frazzled. Would have appreciated an overview of the spots to be visited before starting the tour. Would have also appreciated if the tour had a narrative tying up all the spots and themes.
