Enchanting Venice: City Walk & Majestic Gondola Ride + Ebook

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and included a couple of short rest breaks due to the extremely hot weather.

The guide kept up a steady stream of commentary - complete with jokes and funny comments - that was interesting and informative.

I went in August 2023 (sorry for the very late 1-year later review!) and it was fantastic. Honestly I feel every tourist should go to a tour like this, because you really learn from a local Venice resident. As a tourist, it's important to know about how tourism affects the land you're in, and I learned a lot about the socioeconomic and ecologal impact of both tourism and the environment +history there. It is a great way to support local, since the entire area relies on tourism. Highly recommend as a solo female traveler!

Not satisfactory at all. The guide was walking way too fast and didn't care if the group was following her or not. It's more of a classroom lesson tour and you won't get to see anything from the inside. The gondola ride felt very short and rushed.

Excellent introduction to your beautiful city! Very informative about the history of Venice and how to navigate the area. Highly recommend Frederica

Our tour guide Marco was excellent, very funny and knowledgeable. He kept us entertained when there was nothing of interest to look at. I would have liked the tour to have encompassed a bit more for the price. There was about 15 mins of time that was spent waiting around. You can have a Gondola ride for €39 per person if you wanted to still to a gondola ride but maybe a cheaper tour. The Gondola ride was fantastic, the real highlight of the tour. I’m glad I did it though, a very interesting tour.

The only part I did not enjoy was the gondola ride. The gondolier was constantly smoking. Y couldn’t even take a picture of me and my grandson since he did not sit us at the back!

Very nice and romantic experience. Very pleasant tour. Going by gondola yes to Venice is a duty. Thank you all for the timely organisation of the tour and for this wonderful day.

I’ve booked twice before vía this app and wasn’t disappointed until this tour and dealing with their staff. If I could give it a zero I would. We went to the bathroom and a waiter threw away our tickets unintentionally. We explained this to the staff and they wouldn’t let us go on the tour w/o the tickets even thought I could show the reservation via app. My husband had to dig through garbage to get the tickets back. But they were willing to sell us the tickets back…? Will never ever again reserve because they didn’t even count the number of people and never checked for who was who on the tour. They just wanted money for a terrible tour… the tour was not even worth it! The gondola ride wasn’t even the stated 30 minutes, it was a barely 15 minute ride and I timed it, they were all beat up and you are sharing the gondola with 5 people. The guide was terrible, I learned absolutely nothing. Safe yourself the time and money And do not book this tour… you’ll be disappointed and if you run into a problem they will be useless and rude.

Terrible tour! After receiving multiple notice to be at meeting place 20-30 mins early, the guide was late. She took us on a 90 min walk that lasted 75 mins and we never really saw the main sights like St Marks Square. She kept looking at her watch, ended the tour early and was not a helpful guide. At the end of the walk she told us to wait and someone would help us onto our gondolas for a 30 min ride. We finally boarded the ugliest, dirtiest gondolas in all of Venice . Ugh! Don’t take this tour!

The guide was informative. The tour was mostly focused on architecture. The tour had a lot of walking and the guide went fast. We had 3 people who couldn’t keep up and they gave up on the tour. This tour company has a lot of tours all starting in the same place at the same time so it’s pretty chaotic, but we eventually got sorted into the right tour. We did a tour with a gondola ride… it’s a shared gondola ride — they just group together parties based on size to get 4-5 people to a boat. The gondola ride was exactly what they said… 20-30 min around Venice including a short stretch on the grand canal.

Nice walk and great info about the city. The tour company was responsive to my question regarding the meeting point.

Really enjoyed our guide and the tour as a whole. Just the perfect amount of time to see the major sights but not overly drawn out. Really enjoyed the history that the guide shared along the way, how language played in to that history, and how she took us to some out of the way places to show the true Venice. Highly recommend!

We had a great tour in Venice. Our guide gave us lots of info and made it fun. The gondola ride was great! Loved it.

The Walking Tour and Gondola ride in Venice were simply amazing! The tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the city's history. The gondola ride through the canals was so romantic. A must-do in Venice!

This tour exceeded all expectations! The walking tour provided great insights, and the gondola ride was the epitome of romance. Venice's beauty truly shines through this experience.

The walking tour allowed me to explore the charming streets and hidden alleyways of Venice, where I learned about the city's rich history, architecture, and culture from a knowledgeable guide. It was fascinating to hear stories about the famous landmarks like St. Mark's Basilica, the Rialto Bridge, and the Doge's Palace while wandering through the picturesque canals and squares.

My recent gondola tour in Venice was a delightful experience. The canals, historic buildings, and the gondolier's storytelling added a touch of magic to our visit. While it's a bit pricey, it's a must-do in Venice!

Walk was ok but very basics and saw more walking around by my self and google. Gondola ride was socking where herded like cattle and ruined the gondola experience.

The Walking Tour + Gondola Ride allowed us to uncover Venice's hidden gems. The walking tour was a journey through time and culture, and our guide's passion was infectious. The gondola ride was a serene, picturesque adventure through the city's canals. A combination that provided a well-rounded view of Venice and certainly deserves five stars!

The walking tour was interesting but a bit chaotic...too large of a group for the size of the crowds and the small streets. The guide was nice, professional and knowledgeable. Better sound quality on the headsets would have been a plus. The gondola ride was certainly one of the biggest highlights of our trip.

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on the walking tour + gondola ride in Venice, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. This tour provided the perfect blend of historical insights and breathtaking views, leaving me with unforgettable memories.

The city tour was not possible for me as the guide left me standing at St. Mark's Square and only took my wife with him. Very frustrating and for me close to a heart attack - I am 80 years old.

Les doy 5 estrellas, a pesar de tener que tomar el tour en inglés habíamos reservado en Español, nos avisaron con tiempo el cambio y lo aceptamos. El tour dentro de Venecia impecable, sin problemas, lamentablemente por mal tiempo no se pudo tomar el paseo en gondola, pero la agencia nos devolvió esa parte del tour. Nicole la persona encargada que me contactó desde el primer momento se preocupó por la situación y gestionó la devolución, mis felicitaciones por su gran ayuda.
