Poorly organized, tour started late and ran longer than stated. It was a group gondola ride which we didn’t get to take due to organization and things going longer than what was expected.
Great tour of venice, I enjoyed learning about the history and what the various buildings were used for.
Great tour, we would have been lost without guide. Very interesting info, but too much talk about celebrities that have visited Venice Gondola ride was GREAT, longer than I thought it would be. Only drawback was the transition from walking tour to gondola was a little unorganized.
well informed tour guide gondola ride was awesome, could have had a stop for a drink of wine or something
A short fun look at the smaller streets and history of Venice. Followed by a gondola ride. We had a wonderful tour guide!
A fantastic walking tour, Marina was very knowledgeable, engaging humour, kept a good pace but it didn't feel rushed.
This was so cute. It was a little bit busy on the water but for the price and the experience, it was charming and we’re happy to have done it!
Very informative. You get to go further inside the city that you would not know. The Hondola ride was good too
Overall a good city walking tour which will give you an impressive overview of Venice and its many nooks and crannies. The Gondola ride (obviously) was wonderful. Only honest feedback is, the overall pace could be a little slower especially for first timers to grasp the essence.
Walking tour was great, guide was very knowledgeable. Gondola ride was beautiful, we happened to go right at sunset and the views were incredible
