Nice experience!

Published on Jan, 2025

Very nice guide, delivered many interesting information and stories about Venice in a charismatic way! Trip was nicely divided for parts: walking sightseeing part, gondola part and VR historian quick interesting movie about the history of Venice.

The Gondar ride was the highlight of our trip to Venice!

Published on Jan, 2025

Some lovely introduction from guide on some of the history but the best part was the Gondola ride. It was truly magical and we had a wonderful gondolier and I wish I could remember his name but he gave us some high points along the way but also let us enjoy the beauty. We did one of the later rides at 4:40 and got to enjoy both daylight and sunset. One of our fav moments in Venice.

Amazing experience

Published on Jan, 2025

What an amazing tour, very envolving with the history of the city. Valerio was an amazing tour guide (he even spoke japanese). The vr experience in the end was great also, an amazing surprise.

Walking tour with gondola ride and virtual reality experience.

Published on Jan, 2025

We loved our walking tour and gondola ride in Venice! Atena was a wonderfull guide. She was knowledgeable, and at our request, gave us plenty of local tips for our stay in Venice. The virtual reality aspect at the conclusion of the tour was insightful and our whole family loved it (children 9 and 11 years old). Highly recommend this tour and Atena as a guide!

Valerio is an exceptional guide who made our tour of Venice truly unforgettable. Friendly and approachable, he welcomed us with warmth and enthusiasm, immediately putting us at ease. His deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems was matched by his ability to personalize the experience to our interests. Valerio was incredibly accommodating, ensuring that everyone in the group felt included and comfortable. He went above and beyond to answer our questions and share insider tips, making our visit to Venice both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable and engaging tour experience!
