The transmission didn’t work well maybe that’s the way it is. The tour was boring like reading from a script. The gondola ride was good

The guide was energetic and very interesting; The gondola ride was only four people so semi private and “romantic “.. and all this for the price of hiring just the gondola privately- The guided walk was for nought when you think about it- Brilliant Value

You need to be able to handle the walking on uneven terrain. The guide was excellent and we would have preferred more of the walking tour and done without the gondola ride. Our gondolier was less than enthusiastic.

Nadia our guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and a great guide. Explained the different in a clear informative manner . She was able to insure all of the group were involved either the tour . The gondola ride was a dream come true . The staff and driver were careful as we came on the gondola, an experience not to be missed.

The walking tour was just the right length and the guide was knowledgeable. We covered a large part of the central area of Venice. The gondola ride was also very nice. We were fine with traveling with other people as the price was so reasonable. I thought the management of the queueing and hand off to the gondola could have been better communicated so families and groups could stay together. Evereyone was very nice and helpful.

The walking tour was very enjoyable. Our guide Stefan was knowledgeable and shared interesting history of Venice. The gondola tour was wonderful but the wait was a little long.
