The tour was very insightful into the history of Venice. Our tour guide was very friendly and showed us all the cool and spooky places in Venice

Jami_B

Our tour guide Christina was enthusiastic. The tour felt a little disorganized (some of which was unavoidable as the high tides meant flooding in areas of the city which we had to work around) but we felt like the stories didn’t match many of the areas we walked on the tour and some were not detailed or even scary. It was an ok experience.

Karen_P

It was very boring and the guide was inept. We left after the first hour. She rambled on. It was mostly stories. I went on a ghost tourin Venice many years ago and it was fantastic. This was not

Joe_M

Tour guide was funny and eccentric and tried her best to get the group involved. Some of the stories were good, but the tour guide wasn’t a natural born story teller, so it was hard to understand the point or the climax of some of the stories. Plus, for a city that has such an eerie atmosphere, especially at night, there aren’t actually that many creepy ghost stories or legends. The tour felt padded out with generic history as opposed to the macabre.

We look forward to an entertaining guide, scary ghost stories and some history...not sure this did much of that. The guide did not tell us his name, so cannot state that. We did walk alot and the headphones worked. Am also turned off by anti-Catholic side comments. Am sure there are many other groups that did even worse things all over Italy.

It was a nice to see some of the hidden streets and alleyways of Venice at night. Tour guide was hard to hear most of the time due to the business of the city. Tour was a bit chaotic getting going due to people being late and group not staying together.

Enrico_C

5 out of 6 people of our group found the tour very poor, not a ghost tour and not an hostorical tour. I appreciate the guide effort but the result was not good

Emre T

Our tour guide Christina was very interested and managed to tell everything passionately and convincingly. She recommended a couple of places we should visit when it's daytime and we did. The places we visited were really worth the time and she definitely made our trip here a lot better!
