Highly recommend - Majid was so knowledgeable and nice-really enjoyed our tour! I would HIGHLY recommend him!!
I would not recommend the gondolier we had-I believe his name was Andreas and he was not friendly at all and barely spoke to us. He would answer questions very curtly and softly so you could hardly tell if he was answering the questions. He offered no further info.In fact, if we would have not asked any questions, I don't think he would have spoken to us at all. He seemed more interested in talking to his gondolier friends passing by and he just didn't seem like he wanted to be there. Really spoiled our gondolier ride experience!

Highly recommended this tour - Marco our guide was great! He was very informative and showed passion for Venice. He was patient as I was slow going up and down all the bridges. He gave us a lot of history and pointed many highlights. He was flexible on the order of the day!

Go For The Gondola Ride - The gondola ride was very nice. The rest, not so much. Thought there could be more to share and show.

Venice highlights and gondala - Our tour guide was very very nice. However the meeting place was extremely confusing. The number of the building did not match at the location. I think you need to have your tour guide also hold a sign, especially if it’s a private tour.

Good and informative tour, gondola ride was wonderful - Good tour and guide although his accent made it a little difficult to understand. Meeting point address was inadequate and difficult to find. A landmark should be provided and contact to confirm should be made by Viator a day in advance. That was not done but it would’ve been helpful.

Most disappointing tour I have ever been on - I would give our tour guide Reza a solid review for what he contributed to the tour. My review is for the expectations of the described tour which was lies. The description said approximately 2.5 hours. Our tour was 1.5 and that included the gondola ride. The ride was expected to be 25-30 minutes as directed and it was 13 minutes. I’m a low key person and can handle people that under deliver but this was way below my level of tolerance. The tour was less than advertised and the gondola ride was super disappointing.
If I could go back in time I would not only avoid this tour I would also scrutinize the platform I saw it on and decided to take it from. I am not sure I would ever use Viator again based on this experience and I really like the platform. I just don’t think I can’t trust it.
