A novel way to spend a couple of hours in the labyrinth of this city finding out some darker things about Venice! - We had a wonderful tour with our guide Julia. She spoke excellent English and told us lots of interesting facts and stories about Venice and it´s culture and architecture. Venice is still busy in October and as you zig zag your way through the labyrinth of pathways, bridges and tunnels, you can still hear the commentary through the headphones they give out at the start of the tour. The tour started at 6.30pm and was just the right amount of time and walking. We would definitely recommend doing this tour.

History and legends combine to entertain - My teenager wanted to do this tour and it did not disappoint. There were enough creepy details of ghosts and criminals to keep us enthralled without being scary or morbid. The tour combined history with entertainment.

If you want a special experience in Venice - The guide was really good at explaining, and I felt like I was traveling through time in that time, and it was really subtle and fun to hear the crime stories that were actually happening while walking the Venetian alleys. It's just completely different from walking without any information! Thanks to it, I learned a lot about Venice! Definitely recommend for those interested in history, or just want to have a special experience! I'd like to try another tour 👍🏻

Interesting stories of Crime and Life in Venice - It was great to see some of the back streets and the stories of places around the city. We learned a lot about the history of the city and what it would've been like to live there a long time ago. The stories were interesting and the guide was knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. I would recommend this tour as a great break away from the main attractions and hearing about real life in Venice!

Fascinating Venetian Folklore - My fiancé and I are really glad that we included this tour in our Venice plans. Our guide told us many interesting stories that provided us with a glimpse into the local knowledge of Venetians. The guide and guide-in-training were both friendly and great to chat with as we moved from location to location. Their English was excellent.

Ok - Poor joining instructions on Viator. Meet outside the Pharmacy but we are not told! Honestly, I would say it is overpriced. A few stories, nothing particularly memorable but nice for a walk around and you can ask questions. Lots of standing on hard surfaces which can be tiring. Small group which was nice. The guide was pleasant.
