Beautiful Venice

5.00Don't hesitate to book this trip, it's a full day but so well organised and informative. Our guide made sure we were well looked after and not worried about getting lost in a strange place. Local pick up was on time, comfy coach and a safe and steady driver. We bought both the optional gondola and boat trip and enjoyed both, got to say, stepping into the gondola is a very rocky business but I am 71. Comfort stop in both directions. We were picked up in Bardolino at the bus stop near tourist information at 8.45am and back for about 8pm..great day out.

5.00A very well organised day trip (although you will need much more than one day to see Venice). The guide was excellent and couldn’t have been more helpful (organising the gondola rides etc). A very enjoyable day!

5.00I booked this trip a while ago and was really looking forward to it. It did not disappoint. It's quite a long day travelling from Garda to Venice, approx 3hrs, but it's worth it. Our guide, Francesco, was excellent, very knowledgeable, very clear about meeting points and times etc, and he was also quite funny. We went on a Monday in mid September, and it was very walkable, not overly crowded at all. The bridges do get very crowded though, lots of people stopping to take photos, but the main square, Saint Mark's was surprisingly quite quiet. Francesco showed us all the main buildings and was very good at explaining the history of them. After some free time we took an hour's long boat tour with our group. This was very nice and a good way to get out of the intense sun and heat. Venice is a beautiful city with loads of beautiful architecture, lovely canals (which were not smelly at all) and more gondalas than you'll ever need to see.
