Great learning experience - The guide was kind and very knowledgeable. We really appreciated her efforts to add historical context to the places we visited.

Wonderful Tour, Amazing City - This tour was an outstanding overview of Venice. It was a little challenging finding the meeting point, I thought it would be near the train station but it is not. Make sure you map out your route to the designated meeting point before you go.

Cool Tour! - We visited on a Sunday for this tour so much of the city was shut down (fish market, many shops, Basilica San Marco, but still much to see and learn without it. I'd recommend NOT booking on a Sunday to get the full experience however. If that's when works, it's still worth it. The Gondola ride costs as much as the tour if you did it without being on the tour and it's no different. You're in a line with tour groups and non tour groups. The only difference is you may get on it alone. At most you'll be with one other small (2 people) group which is no big deal if you just want the experience and aren't planning a proposal.

Great Tour - We loved this introduction to Venice. Our guide made us laugh and kept us entertained. We learned so much about the original Venetians and how Venice has changed over the years. Everything we saw was neat and I highly recommend this tour. It is also nice that the gondola tour is set up for you and you don’t have to worry about that.

Great way to see Venice in day! - Had a limited amount of time in Venice and wanted to make the most of it. This was definitely a great choice. The walking tour was about 3 hours through a lot of small streets and more well known areas with a very knowledgeable local guide. Learned some architectural and historical info that would have been otherwise overlooked and lost. It culminated with a gondola ride...that was about 30 minutes. Each party on the tour got their own gondola. This was really tranquil and slow. Nice way to end day along small water ways off the beaten path. Thank you Grazia for being such a great guide and host in Venice.

Venice in a Day - Nicole was a great guide and fun to be with. Very informative and kept a good pace of moving things along but not so fast the group got scattered. The gondola ride will be a forever memorable experience.

Excellent - Our guide Mose was excellent! It waa a worthwhile walking tour - full of interesting information. The tour included interesting points of interests.

Not worth it - Just rent a gondola and visit St Marks on your own. No way is this worth the cost. Family nearly bailed an hour in but waited for the gondola at the end. Wish we had.

Horrible Experience with Rude Tour Guide - Avoid at All Costs - Our experience with this tour was absolutely terrible, and I strongly advise others to avoid it. Here are the key reasons for my dissatisfaction: Inconsiderate and Rude Guide: Our guide, Alessandro, was shockingly rude and completely inconsiderate, particularly to the older members of the group. His pace was so fast that even those of us in our late 20s and early 30s struggled to keep up. The older participants were often left behind, some to the point of sitting out parts of the tour. Malfunctioning Audio Devices: Several people, including members of my group, received audio devices that did not work. When we informed Alessandro, he dismissively stated, "It is not my fault I am not responsible," leaving many of us unable to hear anything. No Photo Opportunities: Alessandro refused to stop for photos. When a family politely asked for a photo in front of a church, he rudely remarked, "Well these people do not care about what is here and what I am saying," and continued his monologue without pause. This was extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. Unplanned and Inaccessible Detour: The tour included a random stop at a glass factory that was not on the itinerary and was not accessible for those with mobility issues. This detour was clearly not planned with the needs of all participants in mind. Personal Agendas Over Tour Quality: Alessandro seemed more interested in walking past shops owned by his "friends" rather than providing a meaningful and informative tour. We spent more time being directed towards these shops than actually learning about the sights of Venice. Yet we weren't given time to shop either, he told us to go back on our own time. Overall, this tour was a complete waste of time and money. We learned very little about Venice, and the guide's attitude and actions made the experience highly unpleasant. I regret booking this tour and would not recommend it to anyone. The only nice thing was ending with a gondola ride.

Avoid booking - I booked this tour in December as a Christmas present for my family on our much anticipated trip to Venice. 1 month before our tour date I was emailed saying they could not get tickets to St Marks Basilica but would take us to the outside of the building and tel us about the history. They offered a 6 euro refund for the inconvenience. An inconvenience? Once in a lifetime trip, and they removed a major component of the Venice visit. To say I am disappointed in an understatement. Be cautious before booking, you may not get the tour you wanted.
