A wonderfuly different way to experience history in Venice

5.00We chose to take this tour on our first visit and, our first night in Venice. Serena was our fabulous local tour guide who had a great way of sharing information and engaging historical stories about people and the places that we visited. We were the only 2 travellers for this tour that night and so recognize that we were fortunate to have a more personalized experience. Serena took us to areas that we would not otherwise have seen and this actually helped us to feel more confident in later exploring the city independently. She also provided us with very helpful information about the city including how to navigate our way around Venice using the vaporettos. Overall, this was a highly memorable way for us to begin our stay in Venice. Thank you Serena! We would highly recommend both this tour guide and this tour as one to prioritize when visiting Venice.
Great tour. too expensive

4.00The tour was great. She took us to unique places and had fabulous stories to share, the kind you can't find in a tourbook. But the tour is expensive and it was only a little over an hour. If the price was much lower, this would warrant a 5 star.
Ana is so fun and funny!...

5.00Taking this tour was the best decision I made with my time in Venice. Claudia, our tour guide, was very careful and friendly, telling us the most curious haunted stories of the region, as well as a bit of local history and unmissable curiosities. What I liked most, besides the good horror stories, is that I was able to get to know the San Marcos area in an effective and fun way. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Fantastic ghost tour
