- We did the tour with my daughter from Florence to Venice and it was a wonderful experience, largely thanks to our guide Constantine. From the beginning he was very professional, friendly and above all thorough with every explanation. Throughout the tour he gave us clear, interesting and passionate information, both during the trip and at every point of the tour in Venice.
He helped us understand history, art and was always willing to answer our questions with a smile. You can tell that he loves what he does and transmits that passion.
We also want to highlight Jean Carlo, the driver, for his safe driving and his friendliness throughout the journey. It made the trip very comfortable and pleasant.
Thank you both for your dedication. We recommend this tour without hesitation!

It is English/ Spanish... - It is English/ Spanish tour despite the tour states English. 3.5 hours ride to and from plus Ferry to get there. It was hassle free and we had 5 hours there. The glass blowing was amazing and we signed up gondola on our own not via company by chance. It was slight cheaper and straight forward.
We had a great time in Venice short and sweet.
Sebastian kept us on time. It was enjoyable trip.

Our guide, Constantino, and our bus driver (I think his name is Giantano) were wonderful. Constantino was very informative, friendly, and helpful!

Amazing day trip to Venice from Florence - The tour was as expected. Our guide Constantino was great. He took good care of all our needs and was exceptional in keeping everyone on time and still being able to manage all planned things in Venice. He used his connections to get us good Gandola ride without having to stay in long lines. He has made great recommendations for local food in Venice. Overall we had a great fun day with family in Venice.

Must do for a European Summer! - We had an amazing time during this tour! Our tour guide was excellent and showed us the main attractions Venice had to offer. Everything was prepared and ready for our journey very well. We highly recommend this tour if you’re planning to visit just for the day. Thank you!

Venice was beautiful as... - Venice was beautiful as expected but this day trip on a bus is not recommended. It took over 3.5 hrs to get there, there is no bathroom on the bus. The guide shared logistics but did not share any information about the countryside or areas we were riding through. There was bumper to bumper traffic for a long time and one bathroom stop at a gas station after 2+ hours !
When we finally arrived in Venice we were whisked right to the glass blowing place with no explanation or time to look at all the beautiful landmarks of Venice that most of us were seeing for the first time !
Then we only had about 3 hours of free time with no guide or map of streets to suggest points of interest to see.
The gondola ride was extra 30 euros which I did and that was nice but all in all too rushed w too little guidance.
I suggest in future they only plan this type of tour via train ride (2.5 hrs) train has bathrooms WIFI and you can charge your phone !
