Free walking tour in Venice fantastic - I took the walking tour of Venice with Nicole and it was a wonderful experience! Nicole is a very good and very knowledgeable guide: she speaks several languages fluently and has provided us with a lot of interesting and valuable information about the history, art and daily life of the city. She was able to answer all our questions with competence and passion, and was always available to give us further advice and useful guidance even beyond the tour. I absolutely recommend to rely on her to discover Venice in an authentic and thorough way!

This tour is exactly what... - This tour is exactly what I was hoping for to give me an introduction through the whole city. I was the only English speaker in our small group, and the guide always made sure to translate for me. I enjoyed the leisurely pace of the tour as well.

Great job - loved Carlotta! - Fantastic experience and an amazing value. Carlotta was so good with our daughters, one of which is autistic and had a freeze and panic moment getting on a boat.

Walking tour of Venice - Amazing tour with amazing sights and learnt lots about the different areas of Venice. We walked through some of the most interesting places on the tour that you probably wouldn’t realise with lots of amazing information about Venice. Elina the tour guide was absolutely brilliant was able to speak to everyone on the tour and keep everyone safe together and well informed. 5 stars to her!

Great history - Our tour was great and knowledgeable. We were the only ones that showed up, so we had our own private tour of Venice. She took us to places that we would not have known otherwise.

Walking tour around Spanish area and Rialto - The guide, Irene; was patient and professional. She combined both a Spanish and English tour and explained everything twice. She was positive and knowledgeable to us all. Wish it was longer.

Good information but no real mini cruise. - The young lady was lively and provided good information. However it was given in both Spanish and English and there was no time given to answer any questions. The mini cruise was taking a water bus back to the station from san Marco which did not suit us as we were accommodated near San Marco and would have had to take the bus back again. We were expecting gondola or other small boat for our group with information. Too much walking for kids (9 snd 12 years old) and not enough interesting info for them.

Possibility of changing the day - Good morning, the flight was delayed, and due to a storm, we decided to change the reservation to the next day. They didn't answer me and I had to cancel. Now they don't wrap my money.

So few details, over 2 hours, maybe got 10 min of description - I booked the English tour and it ended up being a trilingual tour and the guide spent maybe 5-10 minutes giving historical details in English over the two hours. I've been on many multilingual tours that were lovely, but this was really bad. Your google maps 1 sentence overview of the locations visited will give you more interesting tidbits than this tour.
