Truly a GEM

5.00We took the two hour tour with a 30 minute gondola ride in the end - talk about a perfect day! Fari was our guide and she knew everything about the city! We walked at a pace that allowed us to take in the city and its sites but also not be overwhelmed by the heat. Fari was super patient with all our questions and had all the answers! Venice was truly a gem of a city and thanks to Fari, we have lots of memories to take home with us!!

5.00This was a great walking tour of Venice. Rona (our guide) was so good! She knew so many details, and took a lot of really great photos of us along the way to help us capture the memories forever. The Gondola ride was a nice way to end the tour.
Interesting Venice history lesson

5.00Really glad we did this tour! We were only in Venice for 24 hours & this proved invaluable for learning about the history & culture of the city. Majid was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable & presented the info well. The gondola ride at the end was awesome. Fun to go through the inner canals & also out (for a bit) on the open water. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00We had a great time with Shelly in Venice. It was so personal for us details when we wanted, stops when we asked and moving quicker through areas not our family interest. It really gave us a flavor of the city , architecture and building of these amazing places. The gondola ride to end was the perfect way to finish

5.00This was a great tour! Our guide, Sherry, was extremely kind and accommodating. We had a lot of delays getting to Venice, and got a little lost. We thought we would miss our tour, but when we reached out via Whatsapp, Sherry helped us out a lot by giving us directions, and meeting us directly at our hotel to led us around the city. The tour was very interesting, and gave us a great overview to start our time here in Venice. Definitely recommend doing!

5.00We had a great guided tour of Venice. Our tour guide, Sherry, was great! We had a good size group of all family and friends and we even had time to hop into little bars along the way for a quick refresher along our tour route. The gondola ride was so much fun! What I had imagined and hoped the experience would be.
Walking tour!

5.00Reza waa great! I’ve been to Venice before but he told us history I had never known. He was very accommodating with us as we had a tired 10 year old. I think this walking tour is a great way to get an overview of the city and helps you To find your way on your own later in your trip. Great to do on your first day in Venice.
