Nice environment but messy organization

The tour guide spoke poor English which made her difficult to follow. Appointments on location were unclear. The organization was messy and chaotic. In Venice itself another guide who fortunately spoke much better English.

Quick trip to Venice

It is a long day trip but worth it if you want to fit a trip to Venice in while in Bergamo. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, you had free time in Venice and the Gondola trip was good fun

Toll!

The trip to Venice was all around super organized! The tour guide was very nice, helpful and always approachable. The bus arrived on time and the journey went smoothly. Especially great was the recommendation for a really good restaurant – a real insider tip! Venice itself is simply incredibly beautiful and absolutely worth seeing. Thank you for this great trip – I can only recommend it!

Great Day Trip to Venice

Great time and the perfect taste of Venice! Everything was really well organized and I couldn’t ask for a better experience! Could’ve spent a week there but this gives you the perfect glimpse into what Venice has to offer with amazing guides.

Wanted more free time

We enjoyed our day trip to Venice!! Wish our guide would have explained the gondola situation a little more in depth but it turned out to be another amazing experience. We do wish we had more free time to explore, experience and shop. The guides should consider wait times to go into places. You won’t be allowed to enter the church if you have on shorts and the wait time is at least 45 mins.
