Great way to see and learn about Venice! - Our guide Georgia took us around Venice on a wonderful tour. Loved that it was private (just our family), so the interaction was a lot more personal. Great way to see and learn about Venice. Pick up and drop off at our hotel which was great.

Wonderful Tour - Sebastian was a wonderful guide—very friendly and knowledgeable! We wanted to end our tour at a different location and they were very accommodating. Seeing Venice from the water is a must

Highly recommend for seeing Venice by water and relaxing - Lovely boat ride exploring the history of the Grande Canal. We did an active foodie walking tour in the morning followed by this tour in the afternoon, which was a perfect way to see Venice by water and rest after the walking tour. We had a boat driving and our own tour guide and it was fantastic! Highly recommend

A Special Orientation to Venice - A perfect way to relax & get oriented to Venice. We started our trip with a peaceful glide through the canals while our guide, Makala, pointed out landmarks & gave us a brief history of the city & the canals. Makala met us at our hotel making our trip stress free & very special. She was super knowledgeable & gave us lots of tips making it easier to navigate the city. Her restaurant recommendations were great! We really enjoyed our canal tour & think it was a wonderful way to start our trip!

Great way to see the city! - Nico was our tour guide and provided us with a great history of the city, past inhabitants of the palatial dwellings as well as explaining the architecture over the centuries. He also pointed out the many challenges faced with preservation of the city. Grazie!

Wonderful Way to Experience the Grand Canal - Sebastiano (sp?) led us on a wonderful tour of the Grand Canal and other canals! Our wooden boat was gorgeous, the weather was perfect, and we stood in the back of the boat for incredible views of the canals. We highly recommend this tour!
