Thanks to our guide who made everything smooth. Logistics were amazing and without any hassle. Price wise it is a bit expensive but worth the experience.
The water appears phony since it is so clear! Our guide led us to a few obscure vantage points away from the main centre. The individualized experience was particularly noteworthy; our guide saw that we were interested in local activities, he focuses on that, which is a great professional tour thing.
In Venice, it is in impossible to get eight people with divergent viewpoints to agree on anything. We were saved by this excursion. It gave us the non negotiable framework we required, a meeting place, a predetermined route, and an experienced leader. Beatrice, our guide used a colorful umbrella we couldn't lose while handling the herding with comedy. She led us across the Rialto bridge, across St marks square. In short it was ideal for group activity.
A perfect romantic escape! Starting with the stunning St. Mark's Square and a cozy café, followed by a magical gondola ride through the canals. Exploring hidden alleys and crossing the iconic Rialto Bridge added charm, while sunset at Zattere was breathtaking. Delicious Venetian cuisine topped off the experience. An unforgettable, intimate adventure in one of the most romantic cities in the world!
My camera roll is full! This excursion takes you straight to the heart of the action. The transition from Trieste port to the canals of Venice was seamless. If you want a tour that is easy to follow and shows you the best sights, this is the one for you.
Booking online was an extremely easy process, options were very clear, confirmation was given instantly. The trip was a pleasant mix of everything. We honestly enjoyed the main attractions without any concern about the arrangements.
Everything was organized, no stress about tickets or getting lost, which was great since mom's not as quick on her feet these days. This time is good to visit, some spots are less crowded which is recommended.
This activity exceeds my expectations. The guide was wonderful and very informative. Clearly cares alot about giving guests good experience. Really impressed with the experience as I would consider this cheap for Venice.
Longish drive but worth the wait. A bit of mucking around with guides but not their fault just government regulations.
The Tour Operator met us on time, outside Cruise Terminal in Trieste. It was a two hour bus ride into Venice, where we transfered to a boat to take us to the Island, where St Mark Square is located. There we were divided into two groups ( about 20 in each group), given headsets, and we had a walking tour, which lasted about an hour. We then had about an hour and a half of free time. Both Guides did excellent, considering the number of people, especially Roberta, who was our guide on the Bus.
