Don't be late!

Published on Sep, 2024

I don't know how anyone gets around Venice without a guide. A word to the wise. Don't be late. Tour group sizes in Venice are limited. Apparently sometimes the resellers (Viator, Get Your Guide, etc.) get things confused and overbook. On our tour, some people who had booked this tour showed up late and had to be turned away because the group had reached the maximum size. If you get there on time and get to take the tour, it is very helpful.

3 hour venice walking tour

Published on Sep, 2024

Great short tour for a few hours in Venice. Our guide was Valentina who was really good and welcoming. It was a larger group because the earlier morning tour was cancelled - but it was still enjoyable and got loads of information and context we would not have on our own. Thank you!

Worth It

Published on Sep, 2024

This is a good tour with highlights of the city. Great for a first day. Denise lives in Venice and gave us good recommendations on places to eat.

Walk Venice with a guide

Published on Sep, 2024

Julia was a great guide. Passionate about Venice history and the future of the city. Learned so much that I would never have picked up just walking the city on my own.

Wonderful evening walk with a great guide. Highly recommend.

Published on Sep, 2024

We were on the 3:30 afternoon tour on Wednesday, 8/14 and had a delightful young woman as our guide-wish I could remember her name. This was a shady walk through the part of town off the beaten path. I was exhausted before the walk was over and she helped me find a boat to get back to the hotel.
