Venice at Sunset: Crimes, Legends and Mysteries

This a neat off the beaten path tour that we really enjoyed. We got to hear some good stories and see parts of Venice that we probably would not have otherwise seen. It’s probably a little pricey for what you get, but that’s Venice. I would definitely do it again.

Giulia was an excellent guide and brought the stories to life with her thorough knowledge and enthusiasm. We now know the secret about the fourth column at the doge’s palace! We really appreciated her follow up message after the tour which included a map and many recommendations for pizza, cicchetti, and restaurants. Her pride for Venice really shines through.

Beautiful to see various parts of Venice, places that you wouldn't have found. A nice way to find the hidden Venice. Guide was knowledgeable, happy to answer questions, friendly and approachable, a nice guy.

Marina was an amazing guide, we had a great experience, very knowledgeable and happy to answer any and all questions, very personable. Brilliant evening.

First, my friend and I were scheduled to do this tour on Friday, but we got hopelessly lost in the streets of Venice and never made it in time. I feared that I had just lost out on the experience and the money. I contacted the tour company that does the tours, texted with Max, and they were gracious enough to put us in another tour group the next night. I’m thankful because Serena, who led the tour, was fantastic. We had a great experience learning more history of Venice. It wasn’t spooky or scary, but it was very informative and interesting (with a crime or mysterious twist.) I would highly recommend this tour and Serena!

I went with my sister to this tour and was delighted with the experience. Our tour guide, Marina, was very well spoken, easy to understand, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area, answering any questions we had about Venice. The information was very interesting, while definitely morbid, sparked curiosity about the history around every tucked away corner around the island. At the end, we stayed with Marina for a little bit and asked recommendations for places to eat and she had spots everywhere! We went to a couple of her recommendations and they were awesome. It was a really great time.

Thank you Marina!!! Amazing exp!!!!

Our guide Alice was excellent. She was friendly and enthusiastic and told us lots of local Information as well ghost stories and tales. This took us off the tourist trail and into the locals Venice which was great to see.

Gioia guided us around some beautiful, quaint streets in Venice. Streets that I never would have explored on my own. Venice is so gorgeous at sunset, it's slow, romantic and endearing. Despite it being my first time solo travelling, I never felt alone throughout the experience. I am so grateful I took part in this activity. Gioia has exceptional local and historical knowledge. She made it fun, educational, and interactive. The stories that were told whilst bringing us to the scene will sit with me forever. My understanding of the history, culture and people has progressed significantly because of this experience. I would 100% recommend it.

Run away! Do not trust the positive reviews! The anecdotes told by the guide are very well known and we really learn nothing about Venice. Compared to the content, the price is totally out of price. I really feel like I got ripped off because we walked a lot and learned very little.
