Traveler reviews
Venice Tour
The walking tour was great with Paula. Enjoyed the quieter side of Venice. The gondola ride was disappointing. The gondoliers assisting with entering and exiting the gondola acted like we were an inconvenience. I would hire a private gondola ride if I was to do it again.
Walking tour and gondola ride
Walking tour was interesting but gondola ride exceeded expectations. We expected to ride to be short with the reasonable price but it was about 20 mins and the best part of the tour
Get to know San Marco Venice quickly
A great tour of the San Marco area of Venice. Our guide was attentive to the group, especially since it was a very hot day. There were brief parts of the tour that it was hard to hear, but overall a good experience.
Great and Fun Tour
The guide was funny and made the tour so amusing. And it included a nice gondola ride which was a great treat. I would highly recommend him and this tour
Poorly organized, tour...
Poorly organized, tour started late and ran longer than stated. It was a group gondola ride which we didn’t get to take due to organization and things going longer than what was expected.
