A great tour of Venice - Our tour guide, Fredirica, was very knowledgeable. She was born and raised in venice, so she had so much background information to share with us. The tour took us around the non touristy areas of Venice and it was great. I highly recommend this tour for those that want to learn the history of Venice and find some hidden gems. The gondola ride that followed was also very nice.

Venice walk and Gindola ride - We learnt so much from our tour guide who also had a brilliant sense of humor. The Gondola ride was also fantastic. Well worth it!

A Venice Birthday - I booked this tour for my birthday. Our plane was late…which made us late to scheduled time by 30 minutes and I missed the walking tour. They did reschedule the gondola ride (which was lovely). They did not give specific directions where they are located.

Very disappointed - The walking tour was fabulous and guide so knowledgeable, though I would see a few more hidden spots. As for gondola ride is was disappointing to say, it was disgusting-and turn our last day into an unforgettable day in Venice for all the wrong reasons. We were huddled like cattle and expected to sit on this tiny chairs opposite each other.(we are 6 ft tall ) the people at the ride and new the tour was no help to fix it. Left us very very disappointed. Would NOT recommend at all.. Do the walking tour ..

Gondola ride was great, walking tour was a bit un-engaging - The gondola ride was the highlight, worth the value for that - but the tour itself lacked engagement from the guide unfortunately and it was hard to fully focus on the stories of the city through the headsets and tough-to-understand delivery.

Directions were poor, guide was late. - Directions for the meeting point were poor. Guide was 20 minutes late, Guide was not engaging, we felt like the guide was trying get us to take other tours. Would not recommend taking this tour. Gondola ride was fine.
