The tour guide was very knowledgeable and knew about what she was talking about! She took us on an amazing walk around Venice, treated us to a nice ice cream and then the relaxing gondola ride was just indescribable. I can honestly say the gondola ride was one of the highlights of my trip and I will definitely recommend it to anyone going to Venice. It is something not to miss! Thank you!

The tour operator needs bigger signs at the meeting place and signs with arrows along the way.

The tour of the city was informative. It is so much more interesting to know about the city from a native point of view. The ice cream stop was unexpected, and we enjoyed it. The gondola ride was so peaceful. We really enjoyed being a part of the Venetian experience. It was worth it!

Our guide was an expert, pleasant, friendly, personal. This selected tour was not a detailed history of key landmarks - after all, St Marks et al is dealt with in all guidebooks. Instead, this provided an experience of Venice one couldn't have achieved through a guidebook the tourist-free detours down tiny medieval byways, at a leisurely pace, opening out into unexpected, busier squares. A smattering of histories of unusual buildings we found ourselves passing explanations of the building of Venice based on the evidence before us a delicious ice cream stop, socialising with the rest of the group on an atmospheric gondola ride, all producing a sense of having savoured the flavour of Venice at an intangible level and at an unbeatable price. I was captivated - La Serenissima sparkled!

We enjoyed this tour because it didn't cover the most traveled and touristy areas, they took you through the less traveled areas you wouldn't see on your own, and shared lots of facts on the history (past and present) of Venice. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The gelato was great too!

I loved going off the beaten path for our walk through Venice. We can go to St. Mark's on our own time, so seeing the quieter streets and churches was a great change of pace. In terms of the Gondola ride, I wish we went by the Rialto Bridge instead of these remote waterways where there wasn't much to see. The Gondoliers spent all their time talking to each other and not really singing or explaining the significance of where we were.
