So glad we did this tour.

Francesca was a perfect guide to the culture and history of Venice. We got a good sense of its place in history and why it is the jewel that is is. Plus her extensive knowledge of the Duomo and Doge’s Palace added immeasurably to our appreciation of both.

Great walking tour of Venice! Well worth the money. Our guide was very knowledgeable and lively. Thanks for a great tour!
Very nice tour and gondola ride

Great way to learn about Venice. The tour was just the right amount of time to learn about the city but not too long that loses interest. The gondola ride at the end was very nice, and again not too short or too long. The guide was knowledgeable of the area and we visited parts of Venice we would not have venture to see on our own.
Excellent Tour including gondola ride

We had Matt as our guide - he was excellent. He had great knowledge as a Venice citizen and the right mix between the history & culture. Good sense or humour and very strong opinions but at the same time respected other views. Would not hesitate to recommend

Our guide, Marie Elise, was amazing. She was so knowledgeable about all things Venetian, and is a resident. We saw many sites and it was great. Loved the headset idea. I’m looking forward to my next tour.
