The day trip from Milan to Venice was an exceptional experience! Our tour guides, Barbara and Nora, were extremely knowledgeable. They eagerly shared facts, and they were very helpful. Our driver, Luca, was accommodating and efficient. Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed this day-excursion from Milan to Venice!!

Perfect way to spend the day in Venice.

Another amazing tour with Barbara. She is so full of information and so engaging. We’ve been very lucky to have her on two tours during our stay in Italy.

Venice Day Trip

With the Venice tour, we found this was the perfect way to see Venice in a day. We appreciated how comfortable the bus ride was and the fact that it was a small group of people in the group. The stop at the truck stop to use the bathroom and get snacks was an added bonus for the journey to Venice. As crowded as Venice was that particular day, having Didi as a tour guide made us feel comfortable with our surroundings. Didi was very knowledgeable and was able to help us in obtaining a gondola ride. This was the perfect way for us to see Venice and we felt we were able to see a lot in the couple hours of free time that was granted. For those not wanting to stay overnight in Venice or navigate the logistics of getting there, this tour would be perfect for you.

Venice in a day

Long day; nice taste of Venice. Experience was lovely, despite very hot weather. Venice was more crowded than expected. Gondola ride was like in the movies.

Great way for a quick tour of Venice

The overall experience was great. We reached Venice early so it was still not too crowded. Later in the day, the place gets super crowded. However, we were done by 4.30ish so all is good. It would have been nicer to have a longer walking tour.
