Absolutely Amazing! - Amazing from start to finish. Alex was prompt with pickup and drop off. Alessia was waiting and stayed with us until we boarded. Train ride was relaxing. The only concern was our return ticket showed Napoli so we were a little confused but all was good, we got on right train. Now for the day, Claudia was very friendly and knowledgeable. She provided us with so much history of the islands. We were treated like royalty. Thanks for the most incredible time.

Day trip to Venice - Trying to visit the many beautiful sites in Italy is challenging. We decided to take a day trip from Rome to Venice by Train. Left the hotel at 6:50am and returned in the evening at 11:00pm. The trip was will coordinated, from our hotel pickup to ensuring we got on the right train, our tour guide (Donatella) met us in Venice. She coordinated our tour and was very knowable concerning the history of Venice. She made sure we got back on the right train at 6:30pm. Our driver was waiting for us when we returned to Rome and drove us to our hotel. I would definitely recommend this trip.

Great one day trip - It was a great trip and the train was easy. The only item to make is better would be reservations or tickets for church in Venice

Highlight of our Trip! - What a great day! Our guide, Donatella, gave us the best visit to Venice, Murano and Burano. It was a long day, but we were not rushed at any location (although we cut it pretty close getting to our train back to Rome, but we made it with 2 minutes to spare :)), had time to look around, get snacks and dinner. Donatella gave us so much information about each island and helped us get a good spot for a gondola ride. I highly recommend this tour!!

Highlight of our vacation - This trip to Venice was the highlight of our vacation. My 82 year old mother said she had always secretly wished to ride in a gondola! Our guide Daria handled our group well (kids, adults, and several older ladies). It was nice not to have to worry about logistics. The communication from Elisabetta was great.

Don’t Miss Private Tour of Venice! - This trip via Viator, was the best tour of our trip. It was worry free. They picked us up at our hotel and had a guide meet us every step of the way. The island tour was fabulous and our guides were amazing. This is a must if you are in Rome. We loved it!

Venice experience - The family wanted to experience as much of Italy as possible so we chose this tour from Rome. We were picked up at our hotel on time so we could make the 7:35 am train to Venice. A provider representative had our tickets at the train station and showed us where to board our train. The ride was about 3 hrs each way but comfortable and interesting to see the countryside outside Rome. We had a little difficulty finding our boat in Venice in spite of having directions from the provider. No signs with our name, several small boats. Our family really enjoyed the ride to Murano and Burano. Our Venice tour guide, Danielle, met us after that at the boat dock, holding a Venice flag. We walked through the city but didn’t go into the Basilica or Doges Palace as I thought we would. Long train ride back to Rome.

Not optimal time to go - Venice started out beautiful but after visiting the islands the weather changed drastically. We were drenched. But Donatella (bless her heart) drove on with the tour. I would suggest a backup plan for inclement weather. Pro: Having a driver and assistant to help me with the train was a great help! Also the boat captain was instrumental in getting us from island to island safely. Con: Pretty expensive for not having lunch included. Watch out for the vendors. They put much pressure on you to purchase items so one must be adamant if not interested. I would recommend this tour in warmer months. Donatella was very educated on the history of Venice.
