This tour takes you behind life in Venice, away from S. Mark's Square. Our guide , Gina, is a native Venetian, so she knows the place like the back of her hand, and has a story or three to tell everywhere we stopped. The gondola tour was so peaceful, and gliding through the canals was just wonderful.
Definitely two thumbs up for this experience!!!

Excellent guide and good start to Venice trip. Gondola ride was ok but didn't know what I was seeing, passed under the Bridge of Sighs and didn't even realise.

Venice is a unique city with lanes and by lanes . If you wish to experience it , there is a need for guide who could give you glimpses of the city , history , anecdotes and navigate through the lanes and by lanes , you need a guided tour .. We enjoyed .Gondola ride at the end was great fun .
We liked it and recommend .

It was nice and interesting. Perhaps the walking tour could also include some of the "must-see" Venice sights.

On arriving at the initial meeting point we were a little disconcerted by the staff member who met us, however he was not the guide and once we had picked up headsets and made sure they were working we had a fabulous guide who was witty and informative.
We spent the walking tour discovering interesting facts about Venice and seeing hidden locations while learning about the architecture of this delightful city.
During the Gondola ride we enjoyed the tour through the back canals of Venice although if you want to sit with your partner you need to let the guide know and they will try to assist you and if you want a romantic ride for two this is not the location to take a gondola ride as there were several times where there were gondola jams due to the large quantity of boats on the canal.

Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable trip through the beautiful city of Venice!

Gondola tour was great and highly recommended. Walk around tour not recommended, in English group, know one in our group could understand our tour guide through the headphones, everyone on tour lost interest and wanted to leave early to get on the gondola.

It was a good mix of walking and riding in the gondola. You get to see much more than just wondering on the streets. From the gondola, you could get closer to the buildings and get a different perspective from being lower than ground! Our guide was very thorough and since we joined the tour right on the first day we landed in Venice, we got a good understanding of the city and our bearings so wandering around afterwards was a joy and we could appreciate the surroundings better!
