Nice orientation to Venice

Nice walking tour of Venice. The guide was knowledgeable, spoke English well, was accommodating of our needs. Small group so we could ask questions and hear her well. Good orientation to the city. We only had one day before our cruise started, so nice way to see the city. Venice has many steps, so it was kind of difficult on my bad knee, but not the tour’s fault. The meet up location was easy to find.

Good Tour, enjoyed...

Good Tour, enjoyed finding the market and the gondola right across the canal was the highlight. The tour was in three languages, wish there was more time or clarity spent on the English part. It was a challenge to follow.

Nice experience

I joined this tour of Venice with my group of friends and we could not ask for anything better. We visited beautiful and suggestive corners of the city thanks to our guide, Giada, who explained everything in 3 different languages and great enthusiasm!

Do your own walking your. Do not waste your money on this

The guide gave the tour in 3 languages. Not an easy thing to do as she had to speak the entire time. We did not receive much information on the sites we were visiting - perhaps it was because she had 1/3 of the time to share information. Would not recommend this tour as we could have downloaded a walking tour with more information. Very disappointed with the amount of money we had spent.

Operator response

Thank you for the review, and we're very sorry to hear what we're reading, but unfortunately these are group tours and they're multilingual. We look forward to seeing you next time so we can create something personalized for you. Vidali Group

Tour was in 3 languages which made it difficult to retain attention

1st off this is not a reflection of the tour guide. She had to do the tour in 3 languages and rarely had an opportunity to draw breath. And therewithin lies the problem. We thought we were booking an English speaking tour only. It was not clear at time of booking that this was going to be multilingual. As a result we spent most of our time disengaged and even whe it was in English, she was having to rush through and as such was dry and lacked any depth.

We went 30 minutes early...

We went 30 minutes early to confirm meeting point and could not find our guide. We continued to hunt until well after the time passed. We were very disappointed and tempted to cancel today’s tour but will try again.

A 2 Hour Walk Through Venice

I found it really difficult to find the meeting point, luckily the tour started a little later so I didn't miss it. The writing above the door was in latin which did not obviously look like Cornoldi Palace. Look for the numbers written in small blue writing by the wooden arched door. It was a very relaxed tour, some interesting information was provided, some areas were rushed through eg St Mark's. The tour was primarily a 2 hour walk. The guide was friendly and kind but not fully present for the tour.

Walking and Cruising Venice

It was a wonderful tour and the tour guide was very informative. We walked through many different parts of the city and really learned about how the city was build and the different neighborhoods. I really enjoyed learning about the Jewish ghetto. The cruise back to the starting point was icing on the cake. Loved getting to see the city by water.
