Highly recommend this tour. Denise was fantastic! - Denise was the best tour guide ever! She is a native Venetian, so it was great to hear her stories about life for the people who call Venice home. She is also so knowledgeable about the history of the city and all the beautiful sites we saw. The gondola ride was a lot of fun. My wife could not stop taking pictures. This has been the highlight of our trip to Italy.

Amazing Venice- discovered hidden gems of the city - Our guide Daisy was so informative, no question went unanswered. She took us to so many places we had not discovered in our previous days of navigating and getting lost so many times even with gps. Daisy took our group on the tour navigating with just her local knowledge. She was awesome, very friendly and welcoming. If you have the time, it’s well worth the walking tour

Highly recommend - Great way to start off our time in Venice. Denise was wonderful. She made the tour fun, interesting and was engaging the entire time. Although the tour was bigger than expected, Denise had no problem keeping everyone together and she was able to answer any question. Highly recommend!

Great Overview of Quieter Parts of Venice - Our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable and we saw and learned a lot! We recommend that the tour extends beyond 2 hours. We felt rushed walking and we did not have enough time to take the pictures we wanted to take.
