Konstantin is an outstanding guide. We booked a tour of Venice and he exceeded all our expectations. Beyond the extensive program and his deep knowledge of the city, Konstantin answered every question with ease and confidence - giving the impression that he knows absolutely everything there is to know about Venice
Our guide Marco was amazing and showed us all the best cinema locations of Venice he contacted us in advance and asked about the movie choice P s I could not find the right tour so I just wote it here
Guide was not knowledgeable.. Wasted my time .Overpriced experience . I should have booked another tour
This is a horrible experience. We paid $675 for 15 minutes. They took us to the church and rushed us to the palace which we never got to see because they wanted to charge me more money to get in.
The Doge’s Palace was even cooler than I thought it would be, especially the big room called the Chamber of the Great Council, it felt like I was walking into a real story from the past. The Bridge of Sighs gave me goosebumps because of its sad history. Then, Saint Mark’s Basilica was amazing! The shiny gold pictures on the walls were like nothing I’ve ever seen! Our guide knew so much and made the whole tour feel special. If you want to learn about Venice's exciting history, this is definitely something you should do!
This tour was an absolute gem! The Doge’s Palace had so many fascinating details I didn’t expect, like the secret passageways and incredible frescoes. A real deep dive into Venice that’s hard to forget!
This tour took me straight into the heart of Venice’s past. The Doge’s Palace was stunning, each room felt like a living piece of history. And the golden mosaics in Saint Mark’s Basilica… They left me speechless. Such a rich, immersive experience!
This tour of Venice opened our eyes on the historical importance of the place and just gave the opportunity to enjoy the beauty! You have to be in Venice already to meet your guide! Ours told us all the necessary advices for later ad we enjoyed our 3 days stay Highly recommend this company Tour Up in Europe!
