We really enjoyed the walking tour with our guide. She was very friendly and even though we were in Venice last year, she taught us a lot of things we didn't learn on the last trip. It was a crowded Saturday afternoon, but the way she took us on the back streets and alleys, we never felt frustrated. It was a great way to see Venice and the gondola ride was a fun way to end the tour.

It was a nice tour. The walking part kind of short, even though that the guide was good. I liked the walking tour was not in the must common tour areas. _br/_ The line for gondola tour was crowded and long. No explanations during the tour. Why?

Great fun. The guide was interesting and funny. It was great to see something different and the group gondola ride was a cheap option to enjoy this must do activity when in Venice. As we were with the group we also had priority hop on to the gondolas so didnt have to line up with the crowds who had been waiting for some time. Great value for money and well organised.

Good way to get an initial impression of Venice, but nothing special.

The mic/ear piece method wasn't very clear. Might need an update.

At this point we were tired of walking from other adventures but the gondola ride was good , short but good.

Our guide was great, and I was definitely happy to have headsets. Bring your own headphones with you! They provide them, but I was glad to have my better ones. Our guide was funny, honest, and did a great job of educating us on the city. She didn't take us through the big touristy spots, which I was grateful for. We did those on our own. The wait for the gondola ride was long... As you're walking from the tourism office to the gondola point after the tour, hustle to the front of the group! We were chilling in the back, and ended up waiting a long time to get on the gondola. The first groups were already back by the time we got on a boat.

I really liked it. The walking tour guide was excellent.... and the Gondola ride was nice.

Gondolas can feel very touristy so I wouldn't plan that as the highlight of a trip to Venice. This tour was perfect because it was mostly a walking tour with great historic information, with a little gondola ride at the end so you can say you've experienced that!

The experience is nothing like the movies. The traffic is so crammed with gondola's that you are practically touching the boat in front of you. Didn't expect a romantic gondola ride as there were five of us but it was more like herding cattle. I get it that they need to make a living but a jammed waterway was not anything special.

This was really fun! We did it on our first day in Venice so we would know the lay of the land. It didn't keep us from being totally lost much of the time but that's part of the charm of Venice. Our guide was very knowledgable and even though we had a large group, he walked at a good pace. He also gave us a transmitter and headphones and he spoke into a walkie talkie so you could hear what he was saying even if you were in the back of the line. His knowledge of Venice was thorough. We then arrived at the gondolas and were called by group to get on and went for a nice ride. Our gondolier was very interesting, third generation. We loved it and have some fun pictures. I recommend this tour as one not to miss!

Walking tour was great! Our guide was very friendly and explained all the interesting facts about Venice. We have to get in line with 50 or more people for the Gondola ride but it moved fairly fast.

This was an excellent way to start the trip and covered a lot more of the waterways than i expected. Relaxing way to view the place.

The walking tour was very well done. We enjoyed the entire tour. We would recommend it!
Review by: Craig W, April 2018
The meeting location was very difficult to find. The person behind the counter was quite rude and un-friendly. The guide took us to some very nice spots during the tour, but constantly repeated herself. Prior to the gondola ride, after the long walk, again the person behind the counter was rude when I asked to have a moment to use the facilities. She told me no and the group left without me! I felt like I deserved better treatment considering I was the customer. I did meet up with the group and got my Gondola ride. That was the best part of the tour!

Excellent guide! She was very nice and provided so much interesting information and history of Venice. Our group was very pleased with this tour and we would highly recommend this company!

Enjoyed every minute of it, learnt and saw a lot more than aimlessly wandering around particularly the lesser visited areas. Good value.

Great way to be introduced on the history of Venice and visiting nooks and corners of Venice.
