Great guide, Kristina was informative and very personable. We would return just to have her show us around in more detail.

Melissa_H

Our tour guide was wonderful but we do not feel the experience was worth the expense. We also felt very pressured at the Murano Glass blowing part of the tour. I do not feel that the quality was due tonthe tour guide, but the tour company that planned the excursion.

This was a awesome excursion for our family of 10. Monica was the guide and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. She helped us in Saint Marks Square to find an ATM. The Marano glass factory was very interesting & the showroom was amazing. Beautiful pieces of art glass work. We all enjoyed this morning in Venice.

Monica was a wonderful tour guide! Very knowledgeable, came prepared with visuals to teach us the history, and very kind. She was a joy to tour with!

Great way to see the city and get some advice from locals on where to go. Glass tour was interesting as well.

Amazing experience. The tour of Venice covered all the main points and kept our attention without taking an entire day. Great for with kids who want the history but don’t want a 4-6 hour tour. The glass blowing tour kept even my teenage boys entertained. Amazing service, kept us informed and arrived on time. I’d definitely recommend to anyone.

Guide and water transportation picked us up at our hotel on time. Guide was very friendly - knowledgeable and accommodating. The glass experience was incredible - the artist made several pieces in front of us. Opportunity to view and purchase pieces. The family at the glass shoppe was superb - they even made a couple of special requests for us while we waited and watched. Guide then took us to a lunch spot she recommended - walked us to the spot and introduced us to the owners who treated us like royalty - with no reservation on a packed day. All in all - a great time for my family

This tour was the perfect start to my Venice vacation. Our tour guide Maria was a delight and extremely knowledgable. She was also eternally patient as my family lingered at the Murano Glass showroom. Highly recommended.
