Our tour guide Marco was excellent, very funny and knowledgeable. He kept us entertained when there was nothing of interest to look at.
I would have liked the tour to have encompassed a bit more for the price. There was about 15 mins of time that was spent waiting around. You can have a Gondola ride for €39 per person if you wanted to still to a gondola ride but maybe a cheaper tour.
The Gondola ride was fantastic, the real highlight of the tour.
I’m glad I did it though, a very interesting tour.

The only part I did not enjoy was the gondola ride. The gondolier was constantly smoking. Y couldn’t even take a picture of me and my grandson since he did not sit us at the back!

Very nice and romantic experience. Very pleasant tour. Going by gondola yes to Venice is a duty. Thank you all for the timely organisation of the tour and for this wonderful day.

I’ve booked twice before vía this app and wasn’t disappointed until this tour and dealing with their staff. If I could give it a zero I would. We went to the bathroom and a waiter threw away our tickets unintentionally. We explained this to the staff and they wouldn’t let us go on the tour w/o the tickets even thought I could show the reservation via app. My husband had to dig through garbage to get the tickets back. But they were willing to sell us the tickets back…? Will never ever again reserve because they didn’t even count the number of people and never checked for who was who on the tour. They just wanted money for a terrible tour… the tour was not even worth it! The gondola ride wasn’t even the stated 30 minutes, it was a barely 15 minute ride and I timed it, they were all beat up and you are sharing the gondola with 5 people. The guide was terrible, I learned absolutely nothing. Safe yourself the time and money And do not book this tour… you’ll be disappointed and if you run into a problem they will be useless and rude.

Terrible tour! After receiving multiple notice to be at meeting place 20-30 mins early, the guide was late. She took us on a 90 min walk that lasted 75 mins and we never really saw the main sights like St Marks Square. She kept looking at her watch, ended the tour early and was not a helpful guide. At the end of the walk she told us to wait and someone would help us onto our gondolas for a 30 min ride. We finally boarded the ugliest, dirtiest gondolas in all of Venice . Ugh! Don’t take this tour!

The guide was informative. The tour was mostly focused on architecture. The tour had a lot of walking and the guide went fast. We had 3 people who couldn’t keep up and they gave up on the tour. This tour company has a lot of tours all starting in the same place at the same time so it’s pretty chaotic, but we eventually got sorted into the right tour. We did a tour with a gondola ride… it’s a shared gondola ride — they just group together parties based on size to get 4-5 people to a boat. The gondola ride was exactly what they said… 20-30 min around Venice including a short stretch on the grand canal.

Really enjoyed our guide and the tour as a whole. Just the perfect amount of time to see the major sights but not overly drawn out. Really enjoyed the history that the guide shared along the way, how language played in to that history, and how she took us to some out of the way places to show the true Venice. Highly recommend!
