Incredible way to see Venice. We saw places we never would have seen without this tour and tour guide. Highly recommend this tour! Expensive but worth it.

Our tour guide Jennifer was top notch. We enjoyed traveling in a small group! The boat driver was very helpful with my husband who was using his cane during this trip. We love all the sites and the relaxing boat right it was just the right length! It’s pricey but was well worth it !!

Samuel_K

The views of Venice from the bell tower were spectacular. The lengthy boat ride literally around and thru Venice accompanied by the excellent narrative gave us a better understanding of the city, its inhabitants, and the many sites within. Our tour guide ensured we were fully informed, comfortable, and secure.

Amazing trip in Venice on what was essentially a private excursion, as no one else showed up for the tour. Our guide, Barbara, was excellent and engaging. Really enjoyed this tour.

Jason_U

This may have been the best tour we did during our entire trip to Italy. Both teenagers were engaged and really enjoyed it from start to end. The guide was perfect - funny, interesting, and as my 13 year old said, “not boring like museum guides.” Great for families and the boat ride and views were unlike no other! Strong recommend.

The tour was great, but a lot shorter than I thought it was supposed to be. We spent a lot of time in the bell tower, which was great and had really great views of Venice. Then we toured the canals, which was also great, but probably only about an hour in the boat.

Virginia_F

The whole tour was wonderful!! The 360° view of Venice from the bell tower was like no other view in the city. It was amazingly beautiful! The private boat tour was awesome! It was great to get to see so much of the city. The tour showed how large the city is. It was a great experience! I’m so glad I found and booked this tour.

Barbara showed us the interior of Venice then shared her passion for the Basilica. The view from the bell tower was spectacular.

Elizabeth_W

GREAT TOUR!!! Our tour guide was phenomenal and she even treated us with some delicious Prosecco on our tour. She was so knowledgeable and the tour was the perfect amount of time and far from boring! We saw amazing views of Venice, we went down the Grand Canal but also other areas that we would’ve never saw on our own.
