Walking in the rain

Booked the trip in the early morning despite the wet weather. Glad that it happened. The walk was relaxing and took around 1hr 15mins. The highlight was the gondola ride which I missed doing it when I was here 16 years ago.

Fantastic Tour and Guide

We had the most wonderful and informative tour with Elena. She made the history come to life and answered all of our questions in a way only an expert could. The gondola ride was at sunset and was wonderful! The perfect time and setting!

Wonderful introduction to Venice

Fantastic introduction to Venice for your first day or if your visit is short. Our tour guide Andrea was a very proud native Venetian who clearly loved his job of educating us tourists about the history and magnificence of the city. We were intrigued from start to finish. The gondola ride was pretty but a lot of traffic, felt more like a Disney ride. Very cool none the less. We purposely came in the off season (late November) and it was somehow still busy and crowded, can't imagine July. Gorgeous city, amazing tour, well worth the fee. Highly recommended!

Well worth doing

Our guide Frederica is a native Venetian and shared the story of its creation and how it ruled the trading routes. She also took us to places we hadn’t seen in our 2 days before the tour. It was just over an hour and worth the money. She is lovely and very friendly. The Gondola ride was a good addition and the skill of the Gondoliers clear to see. It was spoilt Jb a small way by the constant chatting between the two gondoliers who followed each other round the ‘ block’. But overall I would definitely recommend it.

Perfect afternoon and evening

Great tour that covered history and unique anecdotes about Venice. Elena was a wonderful guide and you could tell she was knowledgeable and had a passion for the city and it’s history. Definitely worth the trip! And the gondola ride was a perfect ending. The price was the most reasonable compared to the gondoliers that solicit off the bridges, and the length of the gondola was just long enough to give us the experience without feeling too long. Great experience!
