Very informative, well delivered and interesting for all of our party even though our ages ranged from 11 to 72. The tour guide was great, just the right amount of dramatic. I would highly recommend this tour to others.

Our tour guide Cristina was wonderful! Just the right balance of legend and true story-- great to see Venice at night with a native off the beaten track!

Our tour guide was a gifted storyteller. We learned a lot about the history of Venice and its inhabitants as well as getting the odd shiver!

Highly recommend this tour! You get to see True Venice at night! Walking through the dark and narrow ally ways whilst being told about the mystic stories of Venice Past!
Tour guide spoke very good English, so understood all! Was a small group so worked out well.

I haven't been yet but the booking was really easy. Prompt reply, voucher printed. Assuming it's accepted OK when we get there, wouldn't hesitate to use you again.

This is not a Ghost Walk.

The guide was excellent and clearly extremely knowledgeable. She was able to handle a group of about 25 of us with ease and managed to spend a few moments with each individual to personalise the walk. All questions were answered and her English was perfectly understandable.

As mentioned at the start, my problem with this tour was that it was sold as a Ghost Walk and it was anything but that. had the tour been named Hidden Gems of Venice, or Secrets of Venice or something of that nature then I would be giving this tour a 5 out of 5 rating. However as I purchased this tour expecting a Ghost Walk I was thoroughly disappointed when i learned that there are only 2-3 ghost stories in Venice (these were covered in the walk but lasted maybe 15 minutes of the full 90 minute tour).

Like I said, had the tour been named something else then I would know what to expect and would have been extremely happy with the tour and would therefore recommend it to others. Until the name changes, no recommendation from me.

An excellent addition to our short break in Venice! We booked our place on-line a few days before we left the UK. We met as arranged on Rialto bridge after dark. Our guide spoke excellent English. She introduced herself to the group of around 15 people before we set off. We were taken down narrow streets, through dimmly lit ally ways arriving at various locations where upon she would tell us stories of dark deeds and ghostly ledgends. The evening experience was an excellent enhancement to our anniversary break. If you're looking for an evening with a difference in Venice, you've found it!

A great way to explore the back streets and dead ends of Venice without getting lost, with a few good yarns to go with it. I think it owed much to the guide, who was a bundle of energy and enthusiasm. Put a smile on our face not a shiver down our spine.

Even though our guide was very nice, the tour was boring. We were into the tour for 45 minutes and were only at our second stop, and did not seem ready to leave there any time soon. NO GHOSTS! If you are handy with a map, and enjoy walking, explore on your own.

Fantastic tour! Our guide was a lot of fun. I was even more impressed because our tour was on the last night of Carnevale and there were many people celebrating in Venice. Somehow he kept us all together and I heard every one of the fascinating stories. Grazie mille!

I'm sorry to use that star, but there wasn't a choice that fits for me. My group got so lost trying to find Rialto Bridge that we didn't make it in time for the tour! We regretted that VERY much! It wasn't your fault, but rather, ours. Bummed...

Tour advertised as 90mins, but finshed in 75 mins ! Quite interesting but would have been better if it had started in the dark. 8pm start in daylight not really atmospheric.

Not too much about Ghosts as advertised, but it was interesting none the less. It did give us the chance to see some places we did not know were there.

Our guide was wonderful! He took us to terrific, hidden sights in Venice that we never would have seen. It was a large group, but we felt he handled the size well. Everyone could see and hear his engaging stories of the dark side of Venice! We would certainly take the tour again! I wish more people tipped him!
