Great day

Published on Jan, 2025

Besides the rain it was a beautiful day. Our guides Michaela, Nicola and Christina were lovely guides. Lots of sites on one day great way to see a lot of Venice.

Enjoyable tours of Venice

Published on Jan, 2025

We truly enjoyed our Venice tour. Our morning guide Eliza was friendly and shared lots of information about Doge’s Palace and St. Marks Basilica. We also enjoyed our afternoon tour to Murano and Burano with our guide Christina. The Murano glass making tour was interesting and the showroom beautiful. Burano was a pretty, quaint island to stroll through.

Memorable time in Venice!

Published on Jan, 2025

This was such an amazing tour and our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. December is a fabulous time to travel through Italy. The Doges palace was nearly empty early in the morning and we had the opportunity to see everything without enormous crowds. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and took care to make sure that all of our questions were answered along with providing an insiders point of view because she was a local. Just one caution, make sure that you get a friendly gondola driver. We had a grouchy one and it took away from the awesomeness of the day. For December in Venice, I recommend a warm jacket and a hat along with some gloves if you are visiting from a warmer part of the world. The Murano/Burano trip was definitely worth it. Both islands were so lovely. My daughter and I traveled through Italy for her 21st birthday. This tour and Venice are a must experience :)

Outstanding!

Published on Dec, 2024

It is very interesting and guides know their history. It makes a long day. You can get to see all the major sites in this one tour.

Fun time on a day tour of Venice

Published on Dec, 2024

Elena was our tour guide who was very nice, upbeat and informative. She was considerate of the group’s needs and we spent adequate time at each point of interest. The meeting location was very easy to find. We felt that we got to see and experience the most important aspects of our trip to Venice in a day with no hassle.
