Excellent walking tour, about 2 hours total. Guide was very friendly and knowledgable. Good balance of more residential areas and tourist hotspots. Interesting information. Did this as part of our honeymoon, we really enjoyed it. Definitely would recommend.
Fast walking and many bridges- the audio would cut out for those who took a little more time. It was interesting though
Guilia was just AWESOME! Very knowledgeable, personable and very genuine. I have done many tours in the past and she was really one of the best. Love Venice and she really brought it alive as I have been many times but never done a tour to learn the history.
10 people was perfect number. Our guide navigated all the back lanes to get is where we needed to go loved the experience and as she was a Venetian she gave insight into growing up here and the real life versus the tourist view. I love these walking tours as you always learn something you would never find in a tourist book.
We walked one way from Dorsoduro to San Marco Square crossing the Rialto Bridge. Alice was an excellent guide. Two hours was a good amount of time. Not for mobility impaired people. It’s a good pace and some standing. A few benches along the way to rest, but not a lot. Venice is very interesting. Book it this tour!
This experience was everything we had hoped for. Alicia was a superb guide, leading us through all the narrow streets and giving us complete details about the history of Venice.
A very good tour around Venice, our was very informative and was very good avoiding the more crowded parts of Venice.
This was a definite highlight for our family (kids aged 10 & 15). We did the 10.30am walking tour with Julia who was so welcoming and so knowledgeable. As well as the main sights of Venice we were shown hidden gems around the city and it was fantasti. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice for the first time.
It was very informative and engaging guide! Nice to go to not so crowded spots yet relevant. Good length as well.
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.
