Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride was great!
We had just one day in Venice and decided to do the walking tour and gondola ride. It was a great experience and we're so glad we decided to do it.
We saw and learned more than we ever could have on our own!

St Marks and the Palace
We took the combined Basilica and Palace tours. Our guide for both was very informative and interesting, showing his knowledge of the city and his passion for art & history. It was also a great way to jump the queues at both venues. Would recommend it to anyone especially on their first visit like us.

Amazing Venice Tours
This was our first trip to venice and we book a wine tour. There were 18 of us in our group and everyone will tell you...best wine tour ever!!! They were more than generous with the wine, our guide was wonderful, the staff was friendly. If we ever return to venice we will definitely be taking this tour again!
We also booked the tours of st marks and Doge's Palace. Definitely worth the price to avoid the long lines and have your own private guide.

Venice was great!
I did three of their walking tours in April/May and had two different guides. Both guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable. I had a woman for the Basilica and Doges palace and the next day I had a guy for the Venice Overview. All three tours were great, there's so much to see, so much history and the guides know so much about it just made me want to learn more! I had the chance to take lots of pictures on the Venice Overview, there are some places on the tours in St Marks Square where you cant but it doesn't matter because I wont forget the images and the beauty!
