I wish I took this tour on the first day. I learned a lot about Venice and how to avoid the fake merchandise. It was great to learn from a local

The walking tour was very informative and the gondola ride relaxing. Even though the gondola ride was a silent tour it was very relaxing.

We had a very nice walk with our guide through the streets of Venice. Everyone in the family learned something and it was a nice way to get acquainted with the City

Walking tour was very good. Gondola ride was so so. Never uttered a word.. katareina was very informative and funny. The gondola driver was boring, just paddled.

Typical tour with headsets and too many people in each tour. The guide was great and wish we would have done it our first day instead because we already spent a day exploring on our own so it wasnt as helpful but thats our fault.

It seemed very unorganised from the start they were not there at 10 to 9 in the morning like we were told to be. No tests done on the earpieces just said something and started walking mine wasnt working so I didn't know we should move. Goldona ride was good but getting there and on was a mess
