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.

I enjoyed the gondola ride, which is a cheap and secured-price option. The walking tour was interesting, with a good knowledgeable guide. I would recommend this tour as a must in Venice, especially when you are only there for a day or two.

Very knowledgeable guide and WOW - saw a painting in a little church by one of the students of Bellini - the Assumption of the Virgin Mary by Tiziano Vecelli, or Titian! The church and paintings caped an otherwise great tour!

The gondola ride alone was worth the price. The guide, who was extremely knowledgeable about art and history, took us to the Frari Church - a place that is definitely not to be missed, and one that I would have missed if I hadn't taken this tour.

We had a fabulous guide for our walking tour of Venice and gondola ride. We took this tour on our first full day in Venice, and the information provided made navigating the streets and canals a lot easier. The guide leaves the group during the gondola ride and the gondoliers didn't provide any information on the city, but the ride was definitely a bargain and a lot of fun. We were met by the guide after our ride and went on to complete the tour.

This was a great tour! The walking tour portion was nice with a tour of the church being the highlight. However, the best part was the gondola ride, which would have cost a lot more were we to book it on our own. We got lucky and ended up getting our own gondola and didn't have to share with others. It was a romantic and memorable experience!
