Weather wasn't great but the tour was amazing.

Published on Oct, 2024

My husband and I attended this tour for a day trip to Venice from Verona. We attended the first part of the tour that was a wonderful tour of the doge's palace. Then unfortunately, the weather changed and the skies opened up and it downpoured the rest of the day in Venice. I was sick with a cold so we decided to take the train back to Verona. The tour was great and we really enjoyed all the information and sights that we did see. Venice in general is so cool to see but really a zoo of people. Now I understand the issues that city has. Thanks for the great tour. What we attended was well worth the time.

the boat experience to Murano and back to Venice by boat review.

the boat tour in Venice is so brilliant and we took some pics of Venice, and we went to Murano and back to Venice by the boat.

Great private tour of Venice

Published on Feb, 2024

We had a wonderful time with our guide. He was very informative and shared a lot of history with us. The boat ride was really nice. We saw a lot of the city on our private boat and enjoyed this very much. Would recommend this tour!

Saw Venice in a day.

Published on Nov, 2023

Had a great day seeing Venice. We loved the private tour of the city. We walked and took a water taxi all around the island. Our guide Aryana explained everything as we walked through St. Marks square. She had skip the line tickets ready to go.
