The tour guide, Ricardo, was excellent, very nice, friendly, and caring. However, the gondolier was a bit grumpy. I wasn't aware that we would be sharing the ride with other people; this wasn't specified in the voucher from Klook. We sat on the sides of the boat and weren't allowed to move, which limited our ability to take nice photos of ourselves on the gondola. Despite the short duration of the ride, it was relaxing and beautiful. The virtual reality experience at the end was interesting, and the staff at Venice Tours were lovely.
Be sure to be on time!! Wonderful day on the boat to both islands. The glass demo was very hot and amazing! The lace was interesting, 7 women and a month to make one 7 inch piece of lace. My sister and had a great day and had a wonderful lunch. Our tour guide was great and informative and she spoke very good English. We are going back to Burono when we return !
Our tour guide (Sara I believe), was fantastic! We did: “Doge’s Palace and St.Mark's Basilica: Private Skip-the-Line Guided Tour”. I got so nervous after booking it because of the mixed reviews, but wow it was probably our favorite thing from our trip! With our tour guide being a local, waving to many friends as we walked by and weaving in and out of places like she knew them like her back hand, it felt like a friend was showing us around while making history come to life. This was so worth it! They didn’t ask us for any reviews or anything, but it truly deserved it and I know that I would have benefitted from reading what tour was booked and people’s review. Thanks so much for a great tour!!
This was a very nice tour that included a shared gondola ride. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The tour started with a vr video, followed by a walk through Venice with our guide, and lastly ended with a gondola ride through some of the canals in Venice. My wife and I really enjoyed it!
Booked St. Marks Basilica and Doge’s Palace tour (with the Bell Tower option) Our guide was the very knowledgeable, light hearted, and often numerous, Elena. She is very clearly proud of her city, its history, and her people, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. We learned a lot of things about these beautiful buildings, and their often bloody history… and does make you wonder why the Bridge of Sighs has become such an iconic tourist attraction, given its purpose… Overall, I’d highly recommend this company… and if you happen to have the pleasure of the tour being led by Elena, then you’ve got the added bonus! The Bell Tower was definitely worth doing too, and didn’t matter that this part of the tour was unguided, but extremely pleased that we had Skip the Queue passes! The views are sensational!
