The BEST Venice Tours

The Tour was convenient, fun and included a Gondola ride that was better than expected.

This tour was so fun- Murano’s glass and Burano’s lace were so interesting and beautiful. If we ever go back to Venice we will definitely go back to these Islands. The knowledge of our tour Gide was amazing . She lives on Murano- she was perfect!

Had a wonderful tour with a knowledgeable and informative guide. Communicated well. Boats were smooth and comfortable.

Gaia was the perfect guide so knowledgeable of the area. We loved seeing Murano and Burano. I’d love to go back. So much more than we expected

Our family of five are foodies and absolutely loved this tour! Cecilia promptly met us at a predetermined mtg pt and after brief introductions, swept us away to our first destination (which was a short walk from where we met up). Along the way she told us about the Venetian lifestyle, reason for architecture as it is and lots of interesting tidbits. At the first stop, she gave us a detailed rundown of Spritz and their history along with the meal/appetizer dos/don'ts depending on time of day. Even our kids were fascinated and paid attention to Cecilia’s talks. As we walked along canals and over foot bridges to our other stops, she gave us history and asked the kids questions to adequately involve them in the experience. The entire 4 hours we spent together was very informative and delicious! We were also pleased to find out that we had walked in a circular direction and our hotel was very close to the last stop as we were all extremely full afterwards and ready to relax. We parted ways very content about having accomplished more than what we set out to do! Cecilia loves her city and her pride shows in her tour!

The Tour to Murano and Burano was terrific - highly recommended Wish it was a little longer but overall really enjoyed it and would recommend it without reservation

Nicole was a fabulous tour guide! He was so knowledgeable about all things Venice. The gondola ride was excellent too.

This tour was spectacular. Easy transport to and from Venice, and the scenery is crazy. You stop for photos along the way, and you have one hour in Cortina and 3 hours in another mountain town. This was enough time for me to take the chairlift halfway up one of the mountains, climb the rest of the way up and enjoy the view, eat lunch at the rifugio, chairlift down and walk around the lake. Just truly unforgettable!

We had such an amazing food tour through the back canal streets of Venice. There was a small group of us and we were able to try local cuisine and drinks while having lively conversations with locals and our tour guide. I am so glad I booked this for my family of four! This tour is definitely geared towards adults so I don’t advise taking young children.

Marco was a great guide…knowledgeable & threw in some humor too. It was easy to find the meeting point. He kept the tour moving, remained accountable for making sure he had all tour members, & gave plenty of time for lunch & restroom breaks. We loved learning all about Venice & the Gondola ride was priceless! Definitely worth having this pre arranged…we never waited in line. We took my 13 & 15 y/o kiddos, & they enjoyed it as well!!

I can’t say enough good about this tour, but most especially our guide. Barbara was phenomenal. So incredibly knowledgeable and also great at pacing (and letting us sit sometimes too)! We learned so much about Venetian history, and she really made both the church and the palace come alive. I was amazed. So grateful we got paired with her for this tour! I can’t imagine how much we would have missed had she not been there to make it all be clear. 100% worth it.

Alyssa is very knowledgeable and patient. This is a well curated tour.

truly comprehensive tour experience. The guide was well-informed and efficiently led us to all the destinations outlined in the tour description.

Paola was very knowledgeable and set a wonderful pace for the tour

Murano glass and master glass makers are worth seeing. Wow! The colors! Burano lace and master lace makers are worth seeing. Wow! The intricate painstaking details! We bought a piece of custom art and we cannot wait for it to arrive. Our tour guide Alice was so knowledgeable, personable and engaging without being overbearing. She truly loved her city and we could see why! Her Venetian pride was infectious. Everyone who hosted us had this beautiful love and pride. We had ciccheti and took in the beautiful islands. Seeing the Building Bridges (Lorenzo Quinn) installation was a plus!

The tour was interesting, but was a little long. I feel Doge’s Palace could have been shortened. We were also there in 7/4, so the heat made it seem longer.

Thorough explaining everything and just full of useful information.

It was a great tour! Nico was exceptional. He gave just the right amount of info to keep us interested and engaged the entire tour! He was one of the best tour guides we had this entire trip! My whole family loved it !! Thank you!

Definitely recommend this tour as an introduction to Venice. Really interesting history of the Doge’s Palace. Our guide was easy to find, spoke excellent English, was engaging, and considerate of everyone’s needs (for restroom breaks, use of elevators, etc.). He used a microphone and we had headsets, so it was very easy to hear. The gondola ride at the end rounded out the tour nicely.

Our tour guide was very informative and kept her knowledge of the history flowing throughout the entire tour. I am really glad we booked this tour. I had the best gelato of my life on Burano at Trexento Gelateria! It was interesting to see the glass blowing and the lace, but the colored houses and canals took the prize. It is well worth it to book!!

The tour of Doge's Palace was great and the tour guide kept us moving and well informed of the history behind the palace and the prison. When we were brought to the gondola it was a relatively quick and quiet ride. I'm gad we booked this experience while trying to capture as much in a day as possible.

We had a wonderful time during our Venice food tour great way to spend our first evening! Our group even went back to one of the tops after our tour ended to have another drink together!

Flavia was a wonderful guide to the Murano and Burano Islands. She had so much knowledge about the islands, the history, and the culture of Venice and the surrounding areas. She even offered helpful tips on food, drinks, and other places to see after our tour. Thanks for a great experience for our whole family!

We had no trouble finding the tour guides. The guides were very knowledgeable and kept everyone together, even though it was very crowded. I didn’t realize there were other areas to see so I would say this is a basic tour. We did not get to see the second floor of Saint Marks or the altar. And other areas of doge Palace that could be available by tour. It is not this tour‘s fault I’m sure I didn’t check well enough. This is a great option for no waiting in line and an overview of the sites.

Both of our tour guides were great! We learned so much from them! Would recommend this company to family and friends!
