Great. Very interesting factsabout the history of Venice
It was informative and gondola tour worth while
Very interesting, and a good way to get oriented in Venice. The gondola ride was fantastic and an absolute highlight of being in Venice.
This was an excellent tour and gondola ride. The guides were friendly and the gondola ride combined with the tour was excellent for the price.
Fantastic. Guide was very knowledgeable and multi-lingual, he also helped a mis-guided German tourist that was not even on our tour. The group was large but still manageable. Showed us sights that we would not have sought out ourselves. Highly recommended.
Very good trip as always from Viator.
Escape into the myriad of alleyways in San Marco, explore hidden Venice and glide effortlessly on a gondola down the Grand Canal. Learn the secrets of the construction of this jewel of the Adriatic and the race against time to preserve it and all its splendid magnificence. The Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride starts near St Mark’s Square and pauses in front of the Hotel Bauer, famous for the filming of Don’t Look Now starring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie. You follow a narrow alleyway, the crowds disappear and Venice’s famous opera house, La Fenice suddenly emerges. The birthplace of Verdi’s La Traviata, it was destroyed in an arson attack in 1996, but completely re-built using the exact original plans. Hence its name meaning The Phoenix.

Our guide had a good knowledge of the back streets of Venice, that combined with a Gondola ride made it an enjoyable experience.
Our guide was terrific - informative, friendly, and humorous. The gondola ride was also a great addition.
Well worth the cost. The walking tour is interesting and goes for quite some time. You then share a gondola with others. This is a good way of having a Gondola ride and you get to see and hear about the main sights in Venice and it costs less than booking a Gondola just for yourself.
Guide very informative a lovely day. Well done Viator
Wander the lanes of Venice and enjoy a gondola ride through the Grand Canal.
