5.00We enjoyed our walking tour with Tony! Tony was very knowledgeable and engaging. We booked the tour for the afternoon of the day we arrived in Venice and it was a perfect overview to get a history and layout of the city. The gondola ride was a fun way to end the tour

5.00We had a great walking tour with Majid. Not only did he share his knowledge about Venice with us, but he had pictures and diagrams that us gain greater understanding. It was particularly helpful in showing how Venice was built “on the water” as they say. Majid even took pictures of us on our gondola ride at the end of the tour. We enjoyed our time in Venice and highly recommend Majid as a tour guide.
Marlin did a fabulous job...

5.00We booked our walking tour in Venice last minute and we were blessed to have Tony as our tour guide! He was very responsive, knowledgeable, and engaging during our tour. He went at a great pace and let us take a break when needed. We all went home learning something new about Venice! Highly recommend!

5.00Our guide was terrific. Reze was dressed right up and spoke fluently in English with a wealth of information on the history and culture of Venice. We walked through the St Marks Square and through many other streets learning about the city.
Great highlights of Venice in efficient 2-hour tour!

5.00Majid was a wonderful and kind guide, willing to answer any questions including recommendations for gelato and meals post tour. The gondola experience was perfect - 30 minutes is just enough to have a relaxing and beautiful time.

5.00Majid was on time and very professional. We enjoyed all the facts and history he shared with us about Venice. He made sure we all stuck together well and that we could all hear him. Majid did a wonderful job and we would book with him again. It was also very nice to have just our own small group and be able to stop and start when we wanted.
Good tour
