5.00We had an amazing time on our walking tour and gondola ride in Venice with Sherry! One thing we really appreciated was that the tour felt personal and tailored to our family rather than rushed or “one size fits all.” Sherry was incredibly knowledgeable about Venice’s history and culture, and she answered all of our questions with so much detail and enthusiasm. She was also very personable and easy to talk to, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We truly felt like we got an authentic and memorable experience in Venice. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great tour!
Highly interactive and educational!

5.00We had a great time spent with Sherry (Shaghayegh) as our guide during our visit to Venice. She was very accommodating and came to pick us up from our hotel. She was very friendly and shared all historic facts as well as shared information about the places we could visit for our remaining time we had in Venice. Highly recommended.
The best way to see Venice

5.00What a great way to start our time in Venice. Majid was our guide and he was friendly and very knowledgeable. We wanted to start at the Jewish ghetto and learn more about the history - he advised that this is not usually part of the tour they do but he was absolutely happy to adjust our itinerary and meeting point. He provided so much information and we were thrilled to see many different areas of Venice. Our tour ended with a gondola ride which was perfect. We hadn’t been on a gondola and it was something we wanted to check off our list. We highly recommend Majid and this tour - it is exactly what we wanted - customized, personal, informative and truly enjoyable!

The perfect introduction to Venice

5.00My fiancé and I took this tour only a couple of hours after arriving in Venice from abroad. We were only spending one day in Venice before departing on a Norwegian cruise, and this was the perfect little tour to do in one afternoon! We spent 1 and 1/2 hours on a walking tour with our guide, Sherry (who was absolutely wonderful), and then the last 30 minutes were spent on a relaxing gondola ride. Sherry was exceptional with not overwhelming us with too much information (especially since we were tired from our long trip), but also giving us the most relevant and intriguing info regarding notable city attractions/historic landmarks, and the origins of Venice itself. Sherry is also a dedicated photographer for her customers! Even though we only spent one day in Venice, we still felt like we were able to partake in many of the pleasures that the city has to offer.
