Venice Unveiled. A Unique Gondola Tour - Venice is beautiful, and this tour made it even more special. The walking tour was informative, and the Gondola ride allowed us to see the city from a different perspective. It's a must-do when in Venice.

Magical Adventure - This tour was a magical adventure. The gondola ride added a unique perspective to the city, and our guide made the history come alive. Loved every moment.

Not worth it - Very average tour. The guide did not introduce herself, was rude, didn’t answer questions properly, actually said to one person that she didn’t have to tell them all about the city and finished the tour earlier than was advertised. The gondola ride was scary as I thought our gondola would capsize or sink with the size of the people in it (ie no attempt at even weight distribution between gondolas. The gondolier did not engage with us at all.

Disappointed - Walking tour was cancelled due to the Pope arriving the next day. We were not notified until after we stood in line at the ticket counter- an email or a text would have been nice. We were only able to do the gondalla ride which we had already done the day before. We still have not been reimbursed for the tour that was cancelled.

Canceled part of tour with no offer of refund - The Pope was visiting the day of our tour so we found out the evening before that part was canceled with no offer of a partial refund. We couldn’t even get to the gondola part and I messaged the operator back about it but got no response.

Underwhelmed - The walking part of the tour was fun and informative. It showed us parts of the city that would normally be missed as they aren’t common touristy areas. And our tour guide showed passion for his city! The gondola ride left much to be desired and was a disappointment. The gondalier wasn’t pleasant and actually a little rude. He spent the entire time chatting it up with passing gondolas and playing catch with fruit.

Disappointing as not as described - I was disappointed with this tour. Online, it advised we would go to San Marco piazza, Doge’s palace and Rialto bridge. None of this occurred. Also, we were advised to arrive 20 mins early. The Tour guide arrived after 3pm. Although she was lovely, it involved walking the various streets of Venice rather than the main tourist attractions, which is not what I booked. I have given 1 star as the gondola ride was fun, and the only thing that they followed through with. Had I known the tour was not as described, I would have booked elsewhere.
