A wonderful way to see and learn about Venice! - Fabulous walking tour with Irene. She was very knowledgeable, professional and quick to thoroughly answer all our questions. She shared a lot of information with us about Venice and its history that only a true Venetian would know. Her dinner recommendation was perfect!

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.

A race through the streets of Venice. Bring your roller skates. - The tour should be longer because it felt rushed. There was no time for questions and barely photos as we raced across the city. The tour operator functioned in two languages which is why she needed to talk so fast that it was hard to follow. Considering the circumstances she did a good job and got us to the boat ride on time.

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.

Do not buy this tour! - We are extremely disappointed in that tour. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 just because our guide fluently spoke Italian and Spanish WHICH WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND! We chose English language tour but our guide wasn’t too fluent in it. 2/3 of the tour we had to listen the information in languages we don’t understand. The information was very limited and I do not recommend this tour to anyone. We had to cut it half way short because it wasn’t the tour we expected.

Why call it a tour if it isn't! - The tour had been promoted as a guided tour of the Rialto and the Jewish Ghetto with mini cruise included and instead turned out to be a race through the crowd to try to reach its conclusion in the shortest possible time, without therefore a historical and cultural deepening of the areas crossed. Shared opinion from other participants who halfway through the tour decided to leave the group...

Bad experience - It was a terrible experience; we arrived at the appointed time and the guide was not there. They answered that the guide had to leave and could not wait, but we arrived on time and I am not sure if there was really guide. I'm quite upset because we were carrying children, it was very hot and we ran to catch up with the guide who didn't show up. They tried to give me solutions that didn't suit my needs and left it at that. If the guide left earlier because he decided, they should have offered me at least part of a refund and have not come close to negotiating. I wouldn't recommend it.

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