Guide and water transportation picked us up at our hotel on time. Guide was very friendly - knowledgeable and accommodating. The glass experience was incredible - the artist made several pieces in front of us. Opportunity to view and purchase pieces. The family at the glass shoppe was superb - they even made a couple of special requests for us while we waited and watched. Guide then took us to a lunch spot she recommended - walked us to the spot and introduced us to the owners who treated us like royalty - with no reservation on a packed day. All in all - a great time for my family

Davide was an excellent tour guide for my group of friends on an early Saturday morning. It was obvious that he loved his job and it showed through the history he walked us through during the entire tour. I would highly recommend any tour with Davide and if the Vatican is on your bucket list, then early morning access is the tour you want. Happy travels!

I have been to Venice before but wanted to show my wife the most of Venice in 3 days before we departed for our cruise. We had a limited time visiting Venice and decided on this tour rather than exploring on our own for the sake of time. This was a wonderful tour and highlighted the best of Venice. We really enjoyed the narration of the city and it's history. The boat ride was probably the highlight of the tour. It showed us many areas that tourist don't usually go to and we saw absolutely beautiful cathedrals and private homes. This tour was a no brainier and would recommended it to everyone.

With less travellers and Venice unusually quiet, even late in the season, this tour was an absolute delight. Our guide, Valentina, was engaging with her stories of Venice and it's history. The markets were interesting and, not being rammed, you could take the experience in on a leisurely stroll. The various food and wine stops were superb. from the simple hole in the wall wineries to sitting outside in the sunshine for a leisurely lunch, followed by Ice cream. Whilst none of the food portions were a 'man V food' wad, there is plenty of 'little and often' which mounts up. The food itself is very good. Valentina paired the wines with the food and her choices were spot on. As a very late booking this fell just right and is an excellent way to spend lunchtime. You may well skip dinner after this trip too.

I took it in Sep 2019. What I thought would be a serene end to my very exciting and fun-filled day turned out to be a very disappointing and super noisy experience. First of all, they run it in fleets and music plays only on one gondola. My fleet had 5 gondolas and orchestra was playing only in the middle one. Mine was the first in the line. I still tried to enjoy it and hear what was being played on that one lucky gondola but NOPE. Even that became impossible because our gondolier thought it to be the best time to chat with his friends on other gondolas at the peak of his voice. He was very inconsiderate and was chatting with his friends (shouting) during the whole ride. I was a solo traveller and there were couple of other families on my gondola. When we couldn't take it anymore and almost towards the end of the ride, I and one other person asked him very politely to turn it down a bit as we wanted to hear the music that was being played on 2 gondolas behind, he behaved very rudely and insolently, imitating us to his friends, making sh sh...sounds. WOW! So, in nutshell: What I expected: Scenic gondola ride with peaceful music playing on my gondola What I got: Music playing on a gondola that was 2 gondolas away, super noisy and insolent gondlier. Some serenade it was!
