Great personal feeling tour! - Great walking tour to see different areas of the city starting in the university area, moving through San Paolo, and ending in the most famous San Marco’s square. I took the tour during my first full day and really enjoyed learning more about the history of Venice on the tour. Alice was a fantastic tour guide, and she was friendly, kind, and informative answering all our questions and giving recommendations. We had three people in our group which gave the tour a great personal feel. Highly recommend this tour!

Learned a lot about this unique city! - Valentina was not only very knowledgeable but also friendly, witty, and above all, patient. She really took the time to get to know all nine of us on the tour (and answered all our questions!), while providing us with lots of fun facts and insights into Venice’s history, geography, and culture, as we weaved our way down streets and alleys, across squares (fields), and over bridges. A great way to spend two-plus hours that takes you beyond seeing just the “must see” landmarks!

Informative, quick walking tour! - Very informative walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered every question the group asked! You do go up and down many stairs, but that is to be expected in Venice.

Interesting, but do not recommend for children - Julia was an excellent guide. She is a native Venetian. She shared many interesting facts. I appreciate that the tour took a less crowded path. The starting place was odd. The colorful wall with art is really your only indication that you are in the right place. I like history and facts. Very straightforward. I can’t say that I was wowed, but it was of decent value for the price. This is not the tour if you want to be entertained. I think children would be extremely bored.
