Excellent private tour - Our private tour of the Doge Palace was exceptional. The guide was thorough and incredibly informative, sharing fascinating details about the history and architecture. Early access made the experience even better—exploring without the usual crowds was a real privilege. Highly recommended!

Great experience - Our guide was knowledgeable and patient! We were traveling with a small child and Grace would explain to me and then my husband as the other was entertaining our child. I really enjoyed our tour as did our child. It was informative and interesting!

Saint Mark’s Cathedral - Alessandra had excellent knowledge of the history of Venice, the Doge Palace and St. Mark’s cathedral. She was helpful taking pictures of the most iconic views in Venice. She also noted points of interest during the gondola ride.

Not what I expected - Our guide was very knowledgeable and sweet. Unfortunately, I planned the entire tour around a gondola ride just to find out in the end that one was not included. I purposely picked this tour for that feature. It was not the guides fault. I feel the site misrepresented the tour.

Deception - In the Tour title they sold me something, and then it wasn't what I was expecting. We have paid a lot for 1.5h tour. I feel CHEATED.
