This tour was really worth the money! The guide was so knowledgable; her grasp of Venetian history was amazing and she managed to get us into San Marc's without too much difficulty, especially as it was end of Carnival and the throngs of 'popolo' were horrendous. The 'hidden Venice' was fascinating. Wonderful experience.

Gondola ride was great but the walking tour was disappointing. The group was too large and was divided into English and French speakers which meant the poor guide had to repeat everything twice and there were long periods of just standing around in the freezing cold. 

Good for a first trip to Venice and a cheap way of having a gondola ride.

This was a wonderful experience. The tour guide was so thoroughly knowledgable about the history and art- I learnt a lot about Renaissance artists that of which I had been previously unaware. Well worth the cost

OK, but after my 3rd hop -on, I couldn't get any reception for the commentary and directions to the attractions near each hop-off could have been clearer. Not as good as the Florence one but better than Bologna.
