Walking tour and gondola ride in Venice - Tour girl was excellent at describing all we were seeing and made sure no one in her group got left behind. Gondola ride was a great finishing touch.

Would recommend, especially the tour! - Very informative tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and kept a good pace so everybody could keep up. Gondala ride was ok, more of back streets than the grand canal. Would recommend.

Guided Walk and Gondola Experience - 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

More walking tour less of the gondola ride. - 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.

Gondola and Tour for a reasonable price. - 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.

Not very good - 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
