Traveler reviews
Avoid - canceled they canceled tour same day and didnt refund us.
Not a good experience. Canceled ~3hrs before the tour and no assistance or response regarding refunds. Responded to operator's cancelation message and sent 2 other messages to the operator and Viator and no response. Paid 57 Euro for nothing and was "ghosted" by the service. AVOID!
Great historical stories
The stories were light and with a lot of history and a bit spooky but not too much. It was the busiest season in June so a bit hard to hear the guide but she did her best to talk over the noise. My teenager enjoyed the history and walking through the streets. It would be nice if the busiest streets by the Rialto could be avoided but that’s just a suggestion.
Disappointing
Guide looked bored and was unenthusiastic throughout complaining it was her 3 rd tour that day and that she wasn’t Venetian. I have been on the same tour with another guide through another company and enjoyed it so much I booked again. Tour lasted just over an hour.. whereas others last 2 hours plus! Not good value for money. I was disappointed.
Really good event
This was our first booked event for our stay and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The guide was really lovely, full of stories and history of the City and both of us said how enjoyable it was. Not too much walking for those who are concerned about that, just like strolling and exploring. Highly recommend.
Wrong directions
Directions for meeting were unclear. Ran a little late. Left without us. No contact number to call at night. No way to find the walking tour
