Educational and fun! - Rebecca is an amazing storyteller who brought to life Venice of the past! The 90-minute walking tour was the perfect amount of time. She engaged the participants, including the children, throughout the tour.

Don't bother with the gondola tour - Fortunately the walking ghost tour made up for our disappointment in the gondola ride. Had we realised we would be sharing a gondola we would have just booked the tour. But the tour itself was brilliant and informative with our guide providing a commentary for the entire time

Great tour and very nice guide - We really liked this tour, it was well organised and Giulia was very sweet and knowledgable. The stories were sad, scary and also funny, and we saw many parts of Venice we had not seen before. Definitely recommend!

A nice way to visit and learn about the unknown parts of Venice - Our tour guide was great and told us some great ghost stories. We visited some parts of Venice that we would have never known about.

Would not book again - Very hard to find the guide, stories were okay- more legend than scary, decent walk around the city- ended early so didn’t feel overall delivery of what was advertised.

Great Gondola ride- 6:30-6:50. Ok Ghost stories- 8:30-10:20. - This was ok. The night gondola was amazing, but then you had to wait 1.5 hours for the tour, missing dinner time. There were a few interesting story but most were about dying babies. Moral of the tour, babies cry. Also, this has ALOT of hard walking, after your day of wandering Venice.

Not What we where hoping for - The guide was very knowledgeble, But was visibly nervous and talked very fast with little engagement. Interisting facts, but we were hoping for a more macabre stories told with more entusiasme.

Skip unless you have nothing else to do - Short walk with few low-intensity anecdotes. Not really deep or original. You can skip and instead just take a walk around the city
