A lovely experience .If...

rita_m, Sep 2023

A lovely experience .If you only have one day for Venice - definitely worth it. Salvatore and the local guide were informative and took us away from the crowds so we could experience the beauty and history of this unique place. Extra nice feature - optional gondola ride. Be ready to do a lot of walking though. Mille grazie!

Nice trip , could be perfect

Maan_j, Aug 2023

Should use the high speed train , there was a lot of traffic jam Over all good trip , should be longer

A wonderful day trip while in Milan

Phong_V, Aug 2023

The tour guide Anna was extremely courteous and friendly in explaining what the tour entailed. Her colleague that we met in Venice was a gentleman who thoughtfully walked us through the history of the city of Venice. Took his time to give us a tour of this beautiful city.

Good

nickylindsell, Aug 2023

Very good trip plenty of time In Venice, guide was very good , long journey but you do stop on the way and on way back so breaks up the journey but definitely worth the travel to Venice

Amazing tour leader and fabulous experience

Terry_T, Aug 2023

Salvatore was an amazing tour leader I’m so many respects, incredible knowledge with a story telling ability to help you digest the wealth of information. On time, professional, considerate and very accommodating. Im a hard task marker and he was top shelf in my opinion.

Venice tour. It was OK

Jose_C, Aug 2023

The bus ride was ok. The guide didn’t have a coherent presentation and repeated much of the information multiple times. We had an issue with the Ferri towards San Marco square which the guide didn’t know which boat we were supposed to take. Not a lot of free time in the city either.

Good trip. Worth doing....

Gil_B, Jul 2023

A Taste of Venice

Shayla_B, May 2023

Simona was so bubbly and engaging, especially during the bus ride to and from Venice. Some of the people in our group arrived late and also got lost along the walking tour, so things seemed a bit stressful at times for Simona and our group. However, Simona was very professional and we pushed through and had a great time. It’s a long day with an almost 4 hour drive both there and back, but it’s a great way to get a taste of Venice if you don’t have much time and are wanting a guide and some other people to attend with. We enjoyed the Gondole ride which is pretty much a must while in Venice, and Simona recommended an excellent place for lunch with was scrumptious. The walking tour was very informative, but it was so crowded that it was hard to really grasp everything. We had a little bit of time to shop and explore, but it’s truly not enough. This tour will definitely make you want to come back to Venice. I’m happy that I was able to see Venice and learn a bit about its’ history through this trip. Will definitely come back and spend a lot more time here next time.

Response from Host, May 2023

Ciao! Simona will love to read the kind words you left about their service! Thank you for the feedback and we hope you will travel with us again!

This is my Favorite place...

Rowena_R, Apr 2023

This is my Favorite place that I visited. I almost missed my tour but they're so nice to wait for me for 10 minutes. I would have missed this beautiful place. So nice though I visit it during the holidays but its worth it. The food, the people, the city is awesome. I will definitely come back with my love ones in here.

Venice is a MUST!

Steven_M, Mar 2023

Venice was spectacular. Gondola rides and shopping in the city was an experience! Our guide was very patient with the slackers of the group and accommodated everyone so graciously. The city tour was really exciting as I learned more about the city than I ever thought I would.

FrancisAnn_L, Oct 2022

The tour to Venice was pleasant. The time was manage very effectively. Stop over was enough to refresh ourselves. The tour it self was not to tiresome even walking a bit. The tour guide was able to give us information on what to expect during the trip. I hope the city tourism will improve in terms of comfort rooms and management of visitors on the island.
