Traveler reviews
Walking tour and gondola ride
We had a very informative and entertaining walking tour, covered a lot of ground. Gondola ride was excellent, just four of us in the boat.
A tour that goes beyond the obvious landmarks
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this tour. Our guide was hilarious, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. Rather than simply leading us from one famous tourist attraction to the next, he brought the city to life through fascinating historical insights, local legends, and entertaining stories that you won't find in a typical guidebook. What really made the tour stand out was his sense of humour. He had a unique way of weaving jokes into the history, making even centuries-old events feel vivid, memorable, and fun. The perfect balance of education and entertainment kept everyone engaged from start to finish. If you're looking for a tour that goes beyond the obvious landmarks and gives you a deeper understanding of the city's character, culture, and hidden stories, this is the one to choose. Highly recommended!
Great start to Venice trip
Excellent activity. Starts off with static explanation of why Venice is where it is. Then steady walk around. All well explained. Guide (Stephano) took many questions and answered them all. Quite a pace with a lot to see Prebooked gondola slot Gondola is 30 min trip on grand canal then some small canals. This is much cheaper than a full separate gondola ride. Only downside is sharing the gondola with 2-3 others. Overall good value and a good orientation start. Recommended
Disappointed
I was held up by unforeseen circumstances (our transportation to get into Venice did not show). When I tried to message the tour operator, about this, via messenger, I did not get a message back. The number that was in the booking to call, said: all circuits were busy. Not helpful as a contact number. I had hoped to talk to someone to try to catch up with the tour later or re-book for later, unfortunately that didn’t happen.
Iconic
Really good guide, iconic gondola journey. Perfect.
