Our guide was amazingly knowledgeable about Venetian history. This 4 hour walking tour of St Marks Basilica and Doge Palace was full of detailed history. We skipped the long lines, which was well worth it. The tour ended walking the back streets of Venice at the Rialto bridge. My teenage boys who like history enjoyed this tour. Highly recommend- you will appreciate the small details at the end.

My husband did a day trip to Venice and only had a few hours in the city. This was a good way to get an understanding of the history of Venice. The tour was interesting and our guide was lovely and very knowledgeable. Our group size wasn’t big enough to have the gondola ride included however, we were told beforehand and given a refund for that portion of the tour. I feel like if we had been able to go on the gondola ride it would have made the experience feel complete.

Being able to go into the Basilica and seeing the amazing artwork. Also, learning some history about all the buildings.

If you want to do more than just wander the streets and take a gondola ride, this is a great option. Our guide was very knowledgeable, pleasant, professional, and had a good sense of humor. She adapted the tour to our specific group and provided us with valuable advice for navigating the streets and waterways. There were times and places where it would have been nice to have headsets so we could hear better. That would be our only suggestion for improvement.

Wonderful private tour with a fabulous guide!
My guide was an anthropologist and so incredibly knowledgeable. She was also quite personable and an absolute joy to spend time with. This was the perfect afternoon in Venice. Definitely recommend!

Tour guide was so sweet and accommodated us with a private tour of the city and water taxi trip in and out of the grand canal seeing unique spots not listed in this description. St. Mark basilica was special and very sacred.

Grand Canal cruise was in a boat that is used also as a water taxi which is closed in and unable to take photos or move around. Cramped space. Walking tour was good but also too many shops being pointed out during the trip. Use of communication system was excellent.

Our guide never arrived. We called multiple times and received a voicemail. We messaged and got NO response. Several other tour guides passed us and we asked and they said we were at the right spot. We arrived at 1:40—the time was set for 1:45 for a 2 PM tour; we waited until 230. No one ever came. It was over $400. Sure hope to get this money refunded. We did several tours with another company and they were all excellent.
