Excellent - We booked 3 excursions in our 2-3 day break in Venice, including the 'must do' San Marco Basilica, Doges Palace and a gondola ride. I have to say that this excursion was our favourite by far. Our guide, Georgia, was superb. She was very passionate about Venice and ensured that the tour was interesting and informative throughout, with just the right amount of information/detail.

Wonderful walking trip in the less crowded areas, great intro to Venice - Perfect intro to Venice. We took the tour our first afternoon and walked through beautiful, quiet neighborhoods and learned more about the history and local life here. We opted for the boat trip to the Murano glass factory which was nice, the boat ride was the best part. I would not recommend this part of the tour only because from the moment you arrive, you realize that this is like a time share presentation. Handsome, well dressed Italian men, free Prosecco, and outrageously priced glass. Better to buy what you want in town.

Definitely worth doing! - This was a real gem of a walking tour, with only five of us in the group it felt quite personal. Paula our guide was so kind and informative, showing us some rather unusual sites and hidden gems. The VR headsets at the end of the tour gave us a real insight into the older Venice with its trading and merchandise, our gondola ride was such an adventure, I’d thoroughly recommend

Tour with Family - We booked this tour because we like off beaten the track experiences. From the start, Natasha, our tour guide was very welcoming. She is Venetian and is really enthusiastic to show us her city. We traveled with our 9 yr old and 4 yr old kids and she made sure that they felt included. She especially, directed her educational narratives towards my older son from time to time. She even changed a bit of the tour knowing that my younger son was not in the best mood. It was a great learning experience and Natasha was an awesome/knowledgeable guide.

Excellent tour - The weather was terrible. Our guide spoke very good English. She offered to change the tour to using the public boat to shelter us from the elements. We saw as much as we could in the time frame with the poor weather. Very good knowledge of the city history and current places to see. Recommended local places to eat and drink. Didn’t get to do the actual described tour, but what we did was very good.
