Gondola Ride & Venice Walking Tour

Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride

Our guide was absolutely wonderful. We learned so much more than we could from trying to find all these places by ourselves, even if we knew where they were. The historical insights were great, as well as the information about salt water damage to Venice, flood mitigation, preserving St. Mark's and other pressing matters. I highly recommend this tour.

Tour Was OK.

I would give this 3.5 if i could. This tour was a good experience. I enjoyed that we got to see more of the neighborhoods and learned a bit more about the area. However, my complaint is that it did not actually follow what was on the list. One of the reasons I signed up for this tour was because it included some of the sights that we had not yet seen, and we did not see them at all. It was the end of our time in Venice, so we didn't have time to go see them. That was very disappointing. Further, we spent too much time between the tour and the Gondola ride. We had to waste over 30 minutes sitting outside of the tour office waiting (we could have gone see the missed spots instead). We should have gone straight into the ride, or even started with it. The 3D experience before the gondola ride was unnecessary and a waste of time. Last, the gondola ride didn't include what was listed either. We went from the Grand Canal, which is too busy. We also had to walk quite a bit to get there, where we could have gone from 1 of the 10 spots we passed on the way there. I don't think I would recommend again unless it was actually run by The Tour Guy.
