Venice’s best tour
Venkatesh_S, 18-09-2022
Both our guides were excellent and took time to explain everything. Loved the walking tour, palace tour and the boat ride.
Excellent tour - 10/10
Anna_B, 28-07-2022
I greatly enjoyed all the 3 tours. The tour guide, Sabrina, was incredible - very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining, and spoke excellent English! I had a lot of fun and learnt a lot! Would highly recommend this package to anyone including families with children as you get decent time for a lunch break in between tour 1&2.
Small tip: Don't forget to bring a bottle of water and sunscreen - the guide will try to keep you in the shade as much as possible but you still burn pretty quickly especially on the boat.
Loved all 3 tours! Great...

Both guides were excellent.
Excellent and Very Knowledgeable Tours

We were helped by Cristina and Ariana to see the Doges Palace as well as the Basilica and Walking Tour. Both were excellent guides who were extremely knowledgeable. They were really good at showing us the important sights but also making it personal and answering all of our questions.
