Welcome to Venice: Walking Tour, St. Mark's Basilica & Gondola Ride

Our tour guide Chiara was very knowledgeable on the history of the city and gave great recommendations on where to go after the tour. We enjoyed the tour greatly and the gondola ride was a nice touch after the walking tour. I highly recommend this tour for an introduction to Venice. .

From the start of this tour our guide, Mosé, engaged us with information in a way that made Venice come alive. He answered all questions and added humor to the tour. Devour Tours was an excellent company to book a tour with. Their communication with reminders was excellent. Having check in staff who were different from our guide made the check in smooth. We were given listening devices that made hearing our guide clear and easy. I would highly recommend this tour and tour company when you begin your time in Venice. I also want to thank Mosé for a wonderful introduction to Venice. Oh, the gondola ride was fun and made so easy as it was all set up for us at the end of the tour!

Our tour with our guide Nico from Walks was SUPERB!!! Despite the occasional gust of wind and constant rain that could’ve ruined many a tour, ours was hardly dampened by this weather. Unfortunate that the gondola experience had to be canceled (and to be reimbursed) but the time was offset by a welcome (and dry) break for a coffee. Communication was very clear (both to find and start the tour and the information relayed along the way). Our guide himself (Nico) was absolutely FANTASTIC! Knowledgeable, passionate about the subject matter (history of Venice), kind, capable (always aware of the full group) and very captivating. Full marks all around. 5 stars and more if possible. Thank you for a fabulous and informative walk through Venice.

This was a very good tour that provided us with a great introduction to the city and its well and lesser known sites. Our tour guide Gracia was very knowledgeable and quite personable. We would definitely recommend this tour to others.
