Excellent overview of Venice with gondola ride at the end! - This was a lovely way to see some hidden gems while on a 1-day trip to Venice! The tour guide, Frederica, for the walking tour was so knowledgeable and friendly. She shared some great tidbits about the history of Venice. After the 1-1.5 hour leisurely walking tour, you line up for a 20-30 minutes gondola ride in the grand canal. FYI- you have to share the ride with 2 other people unless you request and pay more for a private one. Also FYI- the walking tour does not include entrance to any museums or the basilica. Plan to do that separately! PS the gondola stop is right in front of the famous Harry’s bar if you’re looking for a drink in an historic place!

Perfect. - We always enjoy learning about the place we're visiting, especially when we're in a small group and away from the massive crowds. The guide did a remarkable job keeping us entertained and away from the crowds.

Nice tour - The walking tour took us through the city’s charming streets, with fascinating insights into Venice’s history and culture. The gondola ride was the highlight, offering a unique and peaceful way to see the canals. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, but I wish the tour had included a bit more time for exploring on our own. Overall, it’s a wonderful way to experience the magic of Venice, and I highly recommend it! 4 stars!

Loved walking tour! - Our tour for the 5 of us was good. 5 star to our walking tour guide. 3 stars for Gondola, not a word from our Gondola driver/guide. The process for getting our tickets was different than any other tours we have done. Confusing and a snippy gal at the window.

Great trip! - Great trip. Loved the tour guide, Chiara - she was knowledgeable and did a great job. Loved the gondola ride - our only comment is that it would have been nice for the gondoliar did a little commentary. But we still had a great trip. Overall highly recommend the trip for the price.

Good tour. Finding the tour tickets was unorganized. - Walking tour was good. Wish we could have gone into the city more. Narrator was good. Gondola ride was fun and just like the movies.

Fantastic walking tour - Fantastic walking tour, Andrea was a local, really well versed in every detail of Venice, old and new. He led us round some really interesting parts of the city and drew attention to details so easily missed just wandering round alone. As with all things Venice it’s a lot of walking and at a reasonable pace. The gongola ride was ok. Nice to get a slightly different view of a little of the city but even in October it’s so busy you spend some time in ‘Gondola Jams’. Worth doing this just for the walking tour imo
