VENICE in just the right way

If you want a satisfying taste of a splendid day in Venice, this trip with satiate that craving. It’s a packed day but it serves its purpose. The bus ride was comfortable with breaks for breakfast and bathroom. The guide led you so you’re not aimlessly walking around, still giving you free time. And the gondola ride was the highlight!! We ate at a random place and had the best seafood risotto ever! I had the best time!

Great tour of Venice highlights in 1 day!

Barbara (guide) Mateo (driver) and Nora (local guide in Venice) were wonderful. Such a great day filled with culture, history and memories. I can’t believe we did it in one day. Will be back for sure!!!

Amazing day trip!

Quite a long round-trip drive from Milano, but the ability to spend a good portion of the day in Venice made it completely worthwhile. I had the best lasagna and limoncello of my life at some little place in the midst of all the stores! Note: The boat referenced is actually a fairy to the main island and back. If you want to ride the gondola, that's extra paid in cash that day. I was fortunate I had enough euros to cover the four of us. (I think it was €30/person--Aug. 2026.)

Absolutely worth the time and money

Excellent experience and really cool historical guide. The experience with this group was as good as I'd imagine you can get for the money. Even though there was a delay in our trip, they were able to adapt quickly. Even gives food recommendations after the tour
