Very easy to coordinate and order.. I placed my request just the day or two beforehand.., … tour guides very knowledgeable.. Open to questions…and friendly.
Excellent way to see Venice highlights with a knowledgeable English speaking guide. Very considerate of our groups needs on a very hot morning. Top marks Zarda.
Giada was warm, welcoming, informative, and humorous. She always stopped us in the shade when speaking about the sites, and took time to help each group with recommendations at the close of the tour.
I ran late but that was ok as the tour guide gave good information to start off as he waited for those of us who were running late. He was very informative and allowed us to stop into a store that sells handmade masks and when we needed to quickly get into a store to buy water. The group was a mix of families (mostly) and a few solo travelers like myself.
I will give this a miss , not so impressed . I would have preferred if shown the map with important bridges ,and areas to get oriented with the place , and walking down the main canal .
Fascinating tour about the history and building of Venice and the Venetian people. Our tour guide was a pleasure. It can be a little hard to hear if the city is busy.
A quick way to see some interesting sights and hear some of Venice’s extraordinary history. Our guide, Julia was the best. She was able to answer dozens of questions and offered us help with other plans we had to make. She also provided us with some restaurant recommendations.
Very friendly & informative guide, would definitely recommend.
The perfect tour! Gina was endlessly knowledgeable and interesting, and her ability to navigate the group through the maze of streets and alleys was masterful. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic tour with many interesting tidbits about the city. Very well-informed and friendly tour guide.
