It was great to see everything in person that we had read about or seen in movies. The architecture is so different from building to building. Seeing how people live in the houses or apartments and the different government buildings from the different periods.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. It's a terrific way to see Venice! We were taken through both small canals and of course the Grand, all of which were beautiful.

Power boat tour, with a guide. Just the two of us, our guide, and the boat driver. This was a good way to see the sights on/ about the Grand Canal. Our tour guide, Natasha, was friendly, courteous, and very knowledgeable. We took many pictures. We enjoyed the tour. Our only complaint was that we were not picked up at our hotel [as the tour description advertised]. Our guide walked us from the hotel to our boarding point on the Grand Canal. We debarked at that same location at the end of the tour.

Lovely ride in the boat (different from the one pictured on the ad), short and sweet. Thank you for the interesting info.

This was a fantastic tour! We did it the first night in Venice to see the overview of the city before digging into the sites. It was a great way to start. Mateo and Luca prepared a custom itinerary to suit our schedule. Mateo comes from a long family line of Venetians and shared his passion and love for the character, food, art, architecture and daily life. Mateo ended tour by debarking and walking us personally to the restaurant we had reserved. The team is very professional and all right on time.

One of the highlights of our two weeks in Europe. Our guide, Luka, was so friendly and personable and fun. We got a great intro to the city, heard lots of interesting stories, and most of all had a great time. We really highly recommend this experience!

Margie_H

This was a lovely hour. We very much enjoyed seeing Venice from the water. Our guide Nicoli was very personable and knowledgeable. The convenience of being picked up / dropped off 2 minutes from our apartment was a nice plus to the experience. We recommend this tour.

Daniela_T

Our tour guide was excellent. He taught us the history of Venice, past present and future and tailored the tour to our request. I highly recommend.

Totally and ridiculously over priced. Guide had no training whatsoever. Don’t waste your money - just get around in a private taxi or vaporetto to and you’ll learn more about the city. The tour was in a claustrophobic water taxi and could barely see out unless you stood outside in which case you couldn’t hear the guide.

Sandeep_S

Great tour of Venice by water and Leo was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city, it’s history and a good and friendly guide!
