Great Few Hours in Venice - Maria Christina was a great guide - particularly when the AC wasn’t working on our bus and she arranged for different transport on the way back to Milan.
Note: it is 3 hours to/from Milan to Venice. You do get a rest stop in the middle each way. You will have approx. 4 hours in Venice, beginning with an ~1-hour tour, and then ~3 hours to eat, shop, take a gondola ride, etc.

A day to remember ! - Spent the day travelling from Milan to Venice with our guide Venezia.
What a wonderful day , long, very hot but definitely worth doing . Venezia was very informative, funny and throughout the drive there and back kept us informed about what we were passing.
In Venice we had a local guide who was fantastic, kept us in cool walkways away from the crowds. The guide in Venice also booked us into a great restaurant, good food and great service .

Fabulous - We had a fantastic day trip to Venice yesterday we were met by our tour guide in Milan and headed to the boat . Our guide was very informative about Milan , the history, where to eat and shop .
In Venice we were handed over to a local guide, he was FANTASTIC.. took us away from the crowds inland into a local restaurant.. the food was great .
A fantastic long hot day but well worth the $ !

First time - Sabrina was a good guide. The bus was freezing but was nice to come back to after a very hot day. Didn’t learn much about Venice on tour but the ease of getting there was worth it.

Wonderful trip to Venice - Today we went on a private tour to Venice from Milan Mara was our tour guide for the entire day. She was absolutely amazing! She explained areas and history the entire drive to Venice. While on the island was able to show us around while somehow avoiding the busiest areas. Our day was absolutely amazing. Mara felt like she was a part of the family by the end of the day.
We walked bridges from island to island. Took a gondola ride and a water taxi in the main channel. We saw a glass blowing demonstration and had a nice lunch.
I would highly recommend Mara and Tao travel

Needed More Time for Photos - Mariacristina our tour guide was great. However, we had a hectic morning because of many last-minute changes.
If you like a history lesson, the local tour guide we met in Venice (not Mariacristina) was very knowledgeable.
If you need more than 3.5 hours for lunch and pictures, this tour might not be for you.
Our group was small, and everyone was friendly. That made our family trip that much more memorable.

Not great. - I could’ve skipped this tour and been absolutely happy. The communication about the meetup spot from the travel agency is so confusing. When messaging them for help, they didn’t respond. The tour guide in Venice was not great, she seemed uninterested in the info she was sharing. I honestly couldn’t wait for the tour to be over.
