    Loved it. Included the bridge of sighs. Plenty of time for a sit down lunch break. Worth the cost for a full day of highlights. Both tour guides were excellent.

  • Best way to see Venice in one day!!

    We booked both the morning and afternoon tours and while exhausting it was worth every cent since we had only one day in Venice!!!! If we had more time we would have done it differently with more time to spend on Burano and Murani. We also had the best guide in Roberta!! Her knowledge and story telling skills were superb!!!!!

  • Great experience

    Barbara was very knowledgeable during the morning at the Doges Palace and St Marc’s cathedral. Nikole was also for the 2nd half to Murano and Burano. Definitely recommend this for a full day tour!

    This was a fantastic experience. We went through Murano and Burano and then had the second portion of our tour where we got to see Doge's palace and St. Marks. All of it was worth the admission and the guides were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly!

    If you only have one or two days in Venice, this tour provides a nice variety of experiences. Lara was a great guide and was very informative and interactive.

    Murano and Burano are not to be missed. The glass gallery was fantastic. Cecilia did a good job as our guide. Burano was great too, but not enough time as we had to get back for the other half, so I would wish for a longer break for lunch. Doge place and St Mark's were great and specifically the glass mosaics in the cathedral are spectacular. Iole did a good job with these. Gondolas were off course a must, but wish there was option for private ride upgrade.

  • Skip Morano and Borano

    First part of the day was outstanding. St. Marks, Doge and Gondola ride 5 stars Morano and Borano would pass on and give 2 stars.

    Tour guides were excellent. Knowledgeable professional. Shout out to Christina and Roberta. They did an outstanding job. Groups were large though. The morning tour was at the 20 mark and the afternoon was closer to 40.
