Excellent experience!!

5.00Genny was fantastic! Not only was she very knowledgeable but she knew our group was a bit older and had some limitations so she tailored it to exactly what we needed. She then offered suggestions on how to get around the next day and was super helpful. The gondola was also outstanding. Genny walked us to the gondola and made sure we got the perfect gondolas. I was nervous about this because I had read so many bad reviews about the gondola tours being too short, etc. That was NOT our experience! Ours actually wound up being about 35 minutes and they took us through the most beautiful small canals. The whole experience was truly 5 star!!!
Excellent history and breathtaking views

5.00My partner and I had a 2.5hr tour walking tour with Sebastian and within a few minutes it was less like a tour and more like a walk with a friend who knew exactly what we’d be interested in. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about Venice in an interactive and relatable way. As someone who had grown up in Venice, Sebastian had a real passion for the city, and gave us a fascinating insight that only someone who has lived there could do. Plus we got some great recommendations for places to eat! Overall a fantastic experience that was a highlight of our holiday. When we come back to Venice we will be spending more time with Sebastian on at least one of his other tours - the trickiest bit will be knowing which one to pick.
Our tour guide was a true...

5.00Our tour guide was a true local and her pride for Venice came through. Our guide was able to have us do our gondola ride first instead of last as the weather was supposed to get worse as the evening progressed. So glad she was able to rearrange the gondola ride.
Simply brilliant!
