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

This was an excellent tour with a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. A real Venetian, she shared her experience of living in this amazing city.

Andrea was fabulous and made the tour for (myself, partner and niece (35) so varied ages. His knowledge of Venice was vast and had interesting answers to all questions not just the specific sites we visited. We only had one day in Venice so wanted a tour that gave us a feel of the city. It covered renowned historic spots and local points of interest. We may not have done the gondola ride until we learned it was a way to see Venice how it was supposed to be viewed. Highly recommend this tour. be viewed.

Marie-Therese was knowledgeable, interesting, and entertaining. We learned so much and had a great time.

lole our tour guide in Venice was spectacular. Very friendly, easy to understand and made eye contact with all of us as she spoke.

This was a great tour. We started in the Rialto market, where our guide provided excellent historical information to make sense of the things we were seeing along the way. We snaked off the main thoroughfares to see a variety of sights before heading toward Basilica di San Marco. Throughout, our guide provided excellent information. There was not a question she could not answer. After touring the Basilica, it was time for our gondola ride, which, after walking for two hours, was a welcome opportunity to sit and enjoy the sights, including the Grand Canal. I have no regrets. This tour was in all ways excellent.

This was an excellent tour! We got to see some interesting sights around Venice, got a personalized tour of Saint Mark’s, and finished off with a gondola ride. Perfect if you are staying a short time in Venice or just need an introduction.

An excellent experience!

Very well coordinated and great introduction to Venice. Loved the Gondola ride.

We enjoyed our first morning in Venice getting out early and getting to see this beautiful city! Our tour guide, Marco, was extremely knowledgeable of not only Venice but also art history! This was a perfect way to start off our visit to Venice! Thank you!
