Tour guide was very informative and interesting. David was very friendly, humorous and made our experience worthwhile. It was great too that the tour was only 5 people.

Explanation of facade of Doge, Marco Polo house and history were strengths. Loved the drinks, snacks and gondola ride. Other people were challenging but can’t help that. Not really an art tour

This was a perfect tour for Venice! We got really lucky and had our guide Octavia all to our selves. We really enjoyed the experience and it was a perfect length of time to get in all the highlights.

Meeting place was extremely hard!!! No breakfast. Very short tour, separated my partner and I at the gondola ride. The gondola driver yelled to other gondola drivers the whole ride.

Tour was good but misleading. Tour states that it will end where it started, but that was not the case for my client who, after doing the gondola boat ride, saw that her guide had went missing. No "good bye" or anything. She was so concerned that she contacted the company and me (her travel agent). She said the tour was good other than that bit of false information. Guide missed out on their tip by dissapearing....

Writing to only warn of false advertisement. Be advised that the tour does NOT end where it started. My client contacted me and advised that after the gondola ride was over, her guide went MIA and never told her the tour was over. Shes was under the impression that the tour would end where it started, as it states on the description, not true.

Lorenzo, our guide was amazing; engaging, informative and helpful; his explanation of the history was enhanced by his passion as a local; he provided some history on the snacks and drinks offered; the final part of the tour was on the gondola; our driver (didn't get his name) navigated the narrow waterways with great skill and provided some local knowledge as we went; well worth the time and money to particularly for first-time visitors to Venice

I happened to be the only guest on this tour. I missed meeting other people, but Davide, the tour guide, was wonderful and really tailored what he talked about based on my studies of medieval Europe. He was quite knowledgeable on a vast variety of areas and also made for a great conversation partner. The tour is the perfect length to give you just a look into the history and its most famous sites.
