Great tour of Venice!

Christine was wonderful. Very informative and knowledgeable. It was a lovely trip to Venice. The bus ride, boat ride and gondolas were perfect. Christine’s walking tour was very informative. She explained landmarks. We were confident exploring Venice on our own. Great tour and guide. I highly recommend.

Short intro to Venice

The trip guide was very helpful and explained interesting things about Venice in the bus. In Venice, the walking tour was adequate considering the shortage of time. The gondola tour was very nice: silence and backdoors of palazzos. The vaporetto tour was a disappoinment: too much noise and really not much to see. Still, hard to think of how it could be done better in such a short time. A kind of beginner’s introduction. But as the guide said, nothing beats a few nights stay in Venice.

Venice day trip from Bardolino Lake Garda

We decided to book the day trip to Venice from Bardolino having never visited this city before. So much hype and lots of recommendations from friends about Venice and we were not disappointed. So many amazing places to visit and the cafes and restaurants were fantastic. Our guide for the day was Francesco and he was brilliant from start to finish, including the one hour walking tour. Francesco was very knowledgeable, great English, and very funny, he really knew how to keep the group engaged at all times. If you have never experienced Venice before I would certainly recommend this trip. It was a bit of a distance in the bus but the visit was well worth it.

Venice Day Trip from Lake Garda

Everything ran perfectly, on time, and without any problems whatsoever Our guide was informative and very pleasant, spoke a number of languages fluently and gave us an excellent initial guide round Venice and some good tips for when we headed off on our own.

Venice Day Trip

Bus on time. 1 break stop. Boat to St Mark Sq. Loads and loads of interesting information from the tour guides via an earpiece while seeing the sights. Some time to wonder off alone and gave lunch. Great tour. Would definitely recommend!

Crisp and well organised

Crisp, well organised and thought through. On time. Whilst I have given this a 5 star review. The only slight ‘niggle’ was the ‘selling’ of two ‘cash only’ bolt on’s. Helpful the weather was excellent. Happy to recommend.

Very good trip went...

Very good trip went smoothly. There are added activities offered on the coach which must be paid for in cash, so make sure you take plenty if you want to take part.
