Tour was not good. An excessive amount of people in the group, the headphones did not work and we could not hear the tour guide most the time. The tour guide was rude at times towards children and tourist. She would get mad at the people of the group specially if we complaint we couldn’t hear her. She wouldn’t allow us to see the areas and was on a hurry all the time. She said “if you are going to come visit you should of studied the history” which makes no sense because then we wouldn’t of taken the tour

Gena our guide was incredible. Full of detail and anecdotes. Problem at beginning with an extremely loud family who thankfully decided to leave the tour. From then on we were treated to pure class, backstreets, routes, alleyways; each with a story. Paused at times to take in the quiet moments. Doge's Palace could be missed but At. Marks Basilica BRILLIANT. Excellent guide through this masterpiece and the very end of the tour IS the most amazing sight. You will have to find out! A group of Americans on the tour thought that was the best experience to be had in Europe- the guide and last part of your. Didn't need to do anything else after this tour. It filled in all the blanks. Credit to guide Gina or Gena! Amazing!

Do not recommend. The walking tour was fantastic and the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot during and got great insight. The tour provider on the other hand was not that great. In fairness, we ran 5 minutes late as we misjudged the vaporetto time, so we called to ask if it would be possible to wait, or if we could catch up to the tour. The administrator was very rude, did not give us any options, nothing. Standard "you will lose the tour" and then i was hung up on. When i called back to see if we can change the date the call was rejected and alternatively bot even picked up. I get it, we were late, but at least be friendly. Thankfully the tour had not yet left when we arrived.

Gina was fabulous as she is a Venetian and has an extensive background in history. She gave us a thorough history/ perspective on Venice, government, Doge's Palace, St. Mark's, and an excellent short walking tour. She timed it perfectly as St. Mark's only has lights on for 15 min on hour and we could sit in middle as she gave history. I would highly recomment this tour and if you can request Gina!!!

My wife and I normally like to walk around a city on our own to investigate all the places the tours don't normally take you. On this tour we had a fantastic time, firstly in Doge Palace and then in the Basilica, which takes your breath away. She then took us for a walk and gave us more interesting stories and took us to places which I'm not sure we would have found on our own. Fantastic value for money!

We left our hotel early to be on time for the tour. Unfortunately we followed directions to the meet up place via google but after walking for an hour we never made it there. The streets are not well marked.

The tour was comprehensive and efficient. It included a walk through the streets of Venice, the Doge's Palace, and St. Mark's. We were leaving on a cruise at 4:00 pm that day and were fortunate to have found this tour that fit perfectly in our schedule and included everything we needed to see. The guide was extremely professional, personable, and knowledgeable. Her ability to gauge queue wait time and balance that with the much needed bathroom break was exceptionally orchestrated.
