The one thing not to be missedā€¦.

Great experience! We had a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and brought the tour to life with facts, funny stories and tidbits. The gondola ride at the end was perfectā£ļø

Great walking tour discovering hidden parts

Published on Nov, 2024

Great tour of the more unusual bits of Venice. Saw some lovely areas which were off the main tourist routes. Our guide was lovely, very clear commentary and very knowledgeable. I learnt a lot about the history of Venice and some fun facts too. The gondola ride happens later, about an hour is between the two. It was very well organised, there was a short talk about the gondolas and the gondoliers and then a lovely quiet ride through the smaller canals. You can download an audio commentary for the gondola ride but we did not take the path of the tour and the peace was welcome after the crowds and bustle of San Marco square. Definitely one for adults, we covered a lot of ground.

Excellent! Very fun facts and nice walking pace I would recommend this tour to see the more quiet and where Venetian people live

Fun in Venice

Published on Oct, 2024

Hidden fairness covered a lot of territory. A two hour walking tour a break and then a half hour gondola ride. It was a really good.

Long waits but informative walking tour

Published on Oct, 2024

Very interesting bits of history on this small group walking tour. We were grouped up with other walking tours for the gondola ride, and had a long wait in line for the gondola. Our gondolier did not speak with us at all, so that part was quite disappointing, but overall a great tour if you are willing to hurry up and wait for large parts of it.
