Very professional, timely and spoke clearly I dont need 100 characters as I summarized as best i could
We really enjoyed this tour. Our host was knowledgeable and passing about the city. We got to see sights that we had missed whilst walking round ourselves. The gondola ride was fantastic.
This tour was fabulous! Our tour guide was very personable. We had a small group so he got to know each of us which made the tour more enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations for things to do around the city. We saw things we would’ve never seen on our own, so the tour was absolutely worth it.
Tour without rhythm, not much worth saving. The gondola was the best part. I do not recommend it.

A very knowledgeable and interesting guide who showed us the main sights as well as some off the beaten track. He was able to answer all our questions. The gondola ride afterwards was pleasant and enjoyable.
You go around a block 14 of the route is in a rough water way and told to sit still because if you move the boat will rock even in the other calmer canals.
Tour was very informative and our guide was very good, walked at a good pace.

Georgia was very knowledgeable. Gandola ride was fun. Lots of hidden secrets. Not sure what else to put here...
The walking tour was great with Paula. Enjoyed the quieter side of Venice. The gondola ride was disappointing. The gondoliers assisting with entering and exiting the gondola acted like we were an inconvenience. I would hire a private gondola ride if I was to do it again.
Walking tour was interesting but gondola ride exceeded expectations. We expected to ride to be short with the reasonable price but it was about 20 mins and the best part of the tour
