Outstanding and beautiful tour of Venice and some of the iconic landmarks. Our guide was fantastic and knowledgable. Even though it was a long day, everyone was engaged because the tour was well-designed with breaks and very interesting. The gondola ride was beautiful and both the basilica and palace were amazing to see. The price was well worth it especially considering that these three things were included. We jumped past a large line at both the basilica and palace with no wait at all. Overall, a fantastic way to see most of Venice and learn about the wonderful history and see the beauty of the city. Highly recommended!

Alessandro was the most amazing guide ever! He is an historian and happily shared his wealth of knowledge with us at every site visited. The morning walking tour through Rialto was amazing as we wandered through the market en route to the gondola ride which happened to be about 30 minutes, the same length as the full fare rides. This too was incredible as the gondola rides are very expensive. We appreciated the skip the line to St Mark's Basilica and Doges Palace, as the lines were very, very long to get in and again Alessandro was incredibly knowledgeable about everything we were looking at. He is definitely an educator and we appreciated his enthusiasm and knowledge.

It did rain so that was just bad luck to start. We spent over an hour walking in the rain and the content of what was shared with us was very one sided just the guide walking fast and talking. All the people in the group just had to listen with no real chance to ask questions and that was the theme unfortunately of the tour. Once we actually got out of the rain and into the church then everything seemed rushed. We were in and out of there in 15 min. Then to Doges Palace we rushed from room to room and had to stop and again just listen. We stopped at the less interesting parts of the museum to listen to art history which is fine within reason but two of the coolest spots, the weapons and armor exhibits and prisons, we again flew threw and if you stopped to take pictures you lost the guide. You can’t change the weather but there were a few other parts of the tour that could have for sure been better. If you like art history and want to do a quick tour of all these spots and maybe go back after the tour to look more closely at the exhibits and architecture then this might be the right tour for you. We were just looking for a little more interaction and fun.
