Firstly we booked an English guide. Spanish is a second language but the. guide said cheerfully ok it’s going to be in spanish. While I understood most of what was said I found her very lacking in information that I find interesting for instance historical references, political and social events. Only the plight of the Jews… their rescue by Napoleon and subsequent sequestration in the ghetto. It featured also a gondola ride which was a taxi 30 m across a canal. Very disappointing. Would not recommend

Dear Guest,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations.
Regarding the language, our tours are organized according to the language selected at the time of booking, and we regret that there was confusion about this during your experience. We also understand your preference for a deeper focus on Venice’s political, social, and historical events. Our walking tour is designed to provide an accessible overview of the city and its history within the time available, so we are sorry if the level of historical detail was not what you were looking for.
We genuinely appreciate your comments, as they help us understand where expectations may differ from the experience we offer and where we can improve the way we communicate the tour’s content.
Kind regards,

Very disappointing.
I was really looking forward to this tour and wanted to learn more about Venice. This tour, however, completely disappointed me. The tour guides had too few loudspeakers with them, which meant that some understood little to nothing at all.
In addition, it was stated at the time of booking that the tour would be in English, but this was hardly the case. The tour guide spoke in Spanish and Italian the whole time, but translated what was said only very briefly or not at all.
Furthermore, the gondola ride is mandatory and not optional, so please bring 2€ in cash.

Dear customer,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. However, we would like to clarify a few points, as some of the information stated in this review is not accurate.
The €2 fee mentioned is not a mandatory translation fee. It refers to the possibility of crossing the Grand Canal by gondola as a ferry. This is an optional service and is only used if the entire group agrees to it. If the group does not unanimously agree, the gondola crossing is not taken and no €2 fee is charged.
We would also like to clarify that all participants were provided with audio devices. There were enough devices for the entire group, and no participant was left without one.
We are sorry that the tour did not meet your expectations, but we believe it is important to clarify these points so that future guests have accurate information.
Best regards,

Disappointing tour
The tour was disappointing overall. Although it was advertised in English, it consisted mostly of Italian content, which was only interrupted by a few short English sentences. Furthermore, the €2 mentioned in the offer for the translation with Tragettho is not optional but part of the tour and must always be paid in addition (exact change in cash, card payment is not accepted).
In addition, only the usual tourist highlights were visited, for which a guided tour would not be necessary. Of the 28 original participants, for whom only 25 audio transmission devices were available, 3 left early.

Go with another walking tour
Tour guide Nicole spoke too fast and gave no ancient history of Venice. Tour was in English and Spanish. Make sure you have 2 euro cash for quick boat ride to cross canal. I would not recommend this tour as guide had no enthusiasm or helpful insights of Venice.

Not a moderate excursion.
When we met our tour guide, she explained to us that we would be crossing seven bridges, going up and downstairs, and that this would be a very difficult tour for the two men in the group that were using walkers. Unfortunately, the tour was cancelled and she suggested that we contact you and request a refund for the tour that we were not able to take. It was never mentioned in the tour description that this is not an excursion for anyone with a little bit of a mobility problem. Again, I mentioned on the recommendation of your tour guide that it will not be a possible tour for us to take.
事業者からの返答
Dear customer,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our guide’s priority is always the safety and comfort of all participants, which is why she carefully explained the route and its physical requirements before the tour began. Venice is a unique city with numerous bridges and steps, and these characteristics are part of many walking itineraries. Had you contacted us directly, we would have been happy to suggest alternative experiences better suited to your needs, including boat tours and other options requiring less walking.
We appreciate your comments and are glad the guide was able to provide clear information to help you make the best decision for your circumstances.
Best regards,
CVG

Avoid - tour interrupted.
Very disappointing experience: the tour was in fact interrupted in half.
I participated in the “Rialto and Jewish Ghetto” tour in Venice on April 3, 2026. Booked in Italian, it was played in three languages with over 30 people, resulting in chaotic and difficult to follow from the beginning. The guide appeared ill-prepared and unable to manage the group.
After a long wait for the crossing from the pier of Santa Lucia by gondolona, in the Rialto area the guide, realizing that he had dispersed many participants, interrupted the tour: he withdrew the radio lines and stopped providing explanations.
From that moment on, the visit turned into a race without content to meet the times. The guide himself admitted the "disaster."
The supplier then denied the interruption of the tour and responded with disrespectful tones, going so far as to say "for 30 euros you can not expect too much". Civitatis offered a completely inadequate 20% refund.
Negative experience in every respect.

Gentile cliente,

Ci dispiace sinceramente che il tour non abbia soddisfatto le sue aspettative.
In qualità di Consorzio Vidali Group, ci impegniamo a garantire esperienze culturali di altissimo livello, basate su professionalità, competenza e rispetto per i nostri clienti.
Ci scusiamo per i disagi che ha vissuto, in particolare per la gestione del gruppo, la qualità delle spiegazioni e la parte finale del tour.
Quanto descritto non riflette i nostri standard, e stiamo già lavorando per migliorare questi aspetti, in particolare per quanto riguarda l'efficienza delle guide e la gestione dei gruppi.
Inoltre, siamo rammaricati per il trattamento ricevuto durante il contatto telefonico, che non rispecchia la nostra filosofia di assistenza clienti. Ogni nostra interazione dovrebbe essere improntata al rispetto e alla disponibilità, e faremo in modo che situazioni simili non si ripetano.
Ci auguriamo che in futuro ci dia l’opportunità di offrirle un’esperienza più conforme ai nostri alti standard di qualità.

Don’t book…DON’T WASTE YOUR $! Awful customer service. Will take your $ an hour prior…but will NOT wait 7 mins for you.
Booked tour 1 hr prior, got on the wrong water bus and so I immediately messaged the tour operator 20 mins before tour and told them we would be 10 mins late. We arrived 7 mins late…tour guide refused to wait nor answer phone. Finally called the tour agency and asked where the tour was so we could catch up and they refused.
Tour Agency told me to call Viator for refund…when I called Viator to request a refund, was told the Tour Agency refused my refund.
Thank you for ruining our last day in Venice and Italy and leaving us with this crappy memory of greed and no grace for 1 adult and 3 teens.
Booked at 1600
Sent message at 1655
Tour started at 1715
Arrived at 1722

Dear Customer,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, especially on your last day in Venice.
We would like to clarify that our walking tours follow a precise schedule and must maintain a set pace, particularly when other participants are present. On the day of your booking, the tour included several other guests who had arrived on time, and therefore it was not possible to delay the start without impacting the entire group experience.
Additionally, once the guide begins the tour and is engaged in explaining to the group, it is not feasible for them to monitor phone communications, as their full attention must be dedicated to delivering the service.
As a gesture of goodwill and understanding, we offered you the possibility to reschedule the tour for another date or to join any of our other tours; however, this option was declined.
We always strive to accommodate our guests within the limits of our operational responsibilities, and we regret that, in this case, we were unable to meet your expectations.
Kind regards,
