1.00Misleading tour. Didn’t see Rialto Bridge and didn’t see St Marks Square. Said tour capped at 10 guests but we were 16. Gianmarco was knowledgeable and told some great stories but was left disappointed
Great walking tour

5.00Giada was truly a great and informed tour guide. Loved hearing about the history and architecture of Venice, and while they promised less than 10 people (we had 12 and 2 don’t show which means 14), but it was ok. Giada was great with taking us places slightly off the beaten path. Venice is very very busy though.
Great way to learn about Venice and see key points of interest

5.00Jade was great - excellent pacing and commentary. Stops were a mix of hits and quiet off the beaten path areas. About two miles of walking in total at a relaxed place. She was also very helpful with recommendations. We did an earlier “hidden” tour and greatly preferred this tour.
