Majid was an excellent guide with interesting information we hadn’t received on other tours. Made a short testing stop at a chocolate and wine shop. Also stopped to observe a mask artist working. Made a great recommendation for dinner. Responsive to questions. Would highly recommend the tour and Majid as the guide.
OMG this tour was Absolutely amazing!!- incredible!!!, the tour guide was Fantastic, very helpful, funny, polite & most importantly treated us as friends. its amazing what happens when you book with small local operated companies. I highly recommend this service. you will not regret it, I promise.
Behnam was professional, friendly and a great guide. He tailored the tour to our interests. Gave tips on places to eat Great day had by all
Wonderful guide - took us to places we wouldn’t have found alone. Good sense of humour and very knowledgeable 😊
The guide was a lovely guy but very inexperienced and not very knowledgeable about Venice, he was out of his depth. Best thing was a recommendation for a Pizza restaurant.
Good historical walk, small group, friendly guide x Excellent way to get an overview of some of Venice's history x
Really enjoyed this tour and Majid was a great guide. He took us to all the things you’d expect to see and others than were super interesting and we would have otherwise missed out on. He had great knowledge and taught us a lot while also being very engaging and friendly.
Behnam was friendly, informed, and professional. He was accommodating for our age and led us to see many things we wouldn’t have without him.
There a lot of stairs over the many bridges. Both going and old were tired at the end. Our guide spoke English quite well and gave an interesting tour.
The tour did not start well as we were contacted 15 minutes before the start to either postpone for the afternoon or delay for about an hour! We could not postpone for the afternoon so we decided to wait. The guide arrived and instead of being apologetic was saying that it was not his fault and being rude. And also that he was called last minute form the agency to give this tour. Nevertheless we decided to continue with the tour. I did not visit any of the famous landmarks of Venice and we were provided with information about the evolution and how Venice was built. Thus if now we are asked about St Marks square we know nothing about it through the tour!
Behnam was our guide to Venice and he provided us with an excellent experience. He was kind and he was knowledgeable and showed us the city at our pace, sharing very valuable tips as well. Definitely recommend
Our guide Ra was fantastic.. we saw all the must see sites and she gave us special stories and legends from Venice.
Majid did a fantastic job. We were very impressed by his knowledge of all things Venice after only 6 years in the city. He combined the must sees with the hidden gems in a way that made the time go by quickly. Great job!
Stellar tour with Raghda🌟 This was an amazing walking tour made even better by Raghda. She was passionate and enthusiastic about Venice and shared that with us. She is a person with very positive vibes and it was a delight being with her the entire time. Highly recommend!!!
took a three hour walking tour of Venice. Our guide was excellent. very knowledgeable, answered questions, and moved at a comfortable pace. Although we had been to Venice before, we felt like we knew Venice so much better after the tour.
Our guide Raghda was great. She was very informative and knowledgeable. Loved it
Excellent your covered a lot of Venice including things we would not have found.
Wonderful walking tour that brought us to a good variety of different places we were happy to discover. Fast moving and interesting. Ben was patient and kind.
Great tour! Majid was full of great information and easy to understand. We had a small group of four and could chat with the other couple.
We had a wonderful, fascinating, and mesmerizing day in Venice guided by Sneh Waine. We felt as though he made a fantasy we didn't even know was possible come true. We were far away from the crowds on the water, alongside the most beautiful buildings. Along the way, we saw recommended Biennale exhibitions, and we ended this magical day at the Biennale Gardens.
A fantastic experience with a really knowledgeable guide. She took us to hidden parts of Venice and showed things that weren’t visible to the normal person. She is also able to arrange a free boat boat to Morano glass Factory and back again if you ask. It wasn’t her fault but disappointed. The organisers didn’t provide headphones and headsets to the group. Make sure you ask for this . I highly recommend.
This is not the tour we had booked, we went with another group. It turned out to be only 4 of us, it was very interesting, we were told about lots of things in Venice we would not have known about if we just walked around on our own.
Farid was a great tour guide!! Excellent communication and showed us a lot of Venice. Would definitely book again.

This was a great way to learn about the city on our first day. We struggled with jet lag but our guide managed to keep up moving and awake, then left us at a great LOCAL restaurant for our first meal in Venice.
We did this walking tour on our last full day in Venice. The guide gave us some helpful tips for navigating the labyrinths of Venice. It would have been helpful to have done this on our first day. That is my recommendation - to do a walking tour earlier than later in your trip. The guide was knowledgeable, easy to understand and follow and took us to some interesting places and shared some amazing history. Would recommend.
Our guide was a lovely older gentleman, born and raised in Vienna. He was friendly, knowledgable, and funny! He gave great advice and recommendations, it was because of him that I ended up going to the Albertina- I don't think it would have been on my list and it ended up being a highlight of my trip. I'd recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vienna for the first time.
Our guide, Magid, provided an excellent introduction to the city, history, culture and people of Venice. Our meeting point was clear and our guide was on time. Magid initially provided an encapsulated history of the founding of Venice, supplemented by useful maps and photos. At each successive stop on the walking tour, our guide pointed out and explained the importance of each historical site. In addition, Magid took us to the sites of local and popular interest—the best ice cream, chocolate, limoncello and carnival mask shops. The tour finished in St. Mark’s Square where Magid gave us a summary of the highlights essential for any visitor to Venice.
We learned so much about the history of Venice, how the city was "made" structurally, so much more. We visited the famous bookstore, the best chocolate shop, many other interesting stops, then ended up at St. Marks Square where we got more great information. Our tour guide, Majid, was absolutely fabulous. Would definitely do the same tour with him next time in Venice.
We had a lovely tour of Venice with Sneh (Wayne). We saw a part of Venice that most tourists never visit. We learned so much about the history of the city. As Venice turns into a Disneyland type experience, it was a treat to have Wayne show us the backstreets and alleyways of the Venice he loves.
This well organized and orchestrated. The guide was clear and engaged and helpful. The whisper lites are never very good and these weren’t either for Simeon who wears hearing aids but I stood by the guide and could generally hear. So well done.
Amazing 5 star excursion with insights on Venice and surrounding neighborhoods, places to eat. Very knowledgeable with the history of Venice. Great intro tour!
We could not have asked for a better guide than Majid. He explained everything, answered all of our questions, and found us when we got separated from the group. He gave us a wonderful experience.
Gabri was great. He was enthusiastic and amazing at winding us through the streets to show us a Venice you would never find on your own.
Amazing tour and exceptional tour guide. She was the best! If you like to know the history of what you are seeing this is the one to take. I would do it again if I had the chance.
Wonderful, informative tour. Zahra was a fabulous guide. She was very knowledgeable and taught us so much about Venice.
Totally worth every penny! Sneh was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide who took us to lesser known areas and provided so much history! Excellent!!!
Very informative walking tour. Great time. Learned a lot.
We had a wonderful time on this walking tour. Majid was exceedingly knowledgeable and showed us sights we would never have seen otherwise. We learned a lot about the history and culture of Venice and would highly recommend Majid and this tour!
When in a new city, it's great to have an expert who has lived there for a long time to take you to the places you might not have seen otherwise. I enjoyed meeting the mask maker and finding an authentic Italian family-run restaurant. Loved learning some quick history about some of the sites too!
Majid’s English was very good, he was very knowledgable and friendly. Highly recommended..
Magid is a lovely man and a very good guide. I so appreciated the history of the city and the hidden gems, in addition to the most iconic spots.
I really liked seeing Venice from a behind the scenes. Less crowded and fun stories about history of Venice.
Our guide Jack asked us about our preferences before our guide, during the guide Jack told every possible piece of information about the Venice, answered our questions, and finally provided us with all the places we asked about in a message. I found Jack to be extremely knowledgeable, very involved and very open to every your question. I would recommend Jack as a guide for Venice and places nearby.
We had the pleasure of having Zahra as our guide in Venice, and she truly made our experience special. With a degree in Literature and Art and a wealth of knowledge about Venice, she brought the city to life as we walked. Our three-hour walking tour took us through hidden gems and lesser-known corners of Venice. Zahra shared stories and insights along the way, and we learned so much while exploring the city. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Zahra was also incredibly kind and thoughtful, even taking some lovely photos of us along the way. She was knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate about Venice. We would highly recommend Zahra to anyone looking for a memorable and enriching experience in Venice!
Absolutely outstanding! Venice is not the biggest city but it's rich and complex with details, it's easy to get lost and a bit intimidating to explore at first. But our tour guide, Maria, was fantastic! We got this tour to make sure we saw the big things and to get us get oriented to the city. And let me tell you, Maria wen't above and beyond for us. She tailored the tour to our interests and engaged fully with any and all questions. Her tour blended perfectly the the very popular places we wanted to see and beautiful corners only a local guide would know. She managed to weive in a stop at a beautiful pop-up art exhibition by walking us through a shortcut in the public library! She also got us discounts at a traveling musical history museum letting us stop in there just because we mentioned off-hand that it looked cool! Marie took beautiful professional photos of us, recommended places to eat, answered questions about our travel, and made us feel welcome. We never felt rushed, we saw everything we hoped to and were left feeling completely comfortable with exploring the rest of the city on our own. It was truly exceptional, my wife and I really felt like were visiting an old friend in their hometown!
The tour did not hit all the contemplated itinerary, but the tour guide took me to less known and tourity sites with great historical facts about the history of Venice
Best guide (Sneh) who showed us the parts of Venice that most tourist may not see. Along with a wonderful history of Venice and how it became. Then he gave us a great list of recommendations for eating and best gelato which we tried three of his recommendations since the tour and can rate them highly.
Majid has been a great host for us. We took the tour as a family of four and there were only 2 other ladies in our tour. Being a small group really made the conversations much more tailored and we were able to ask lots of questions. Majid knows a lot about the history of the city, the architecture, the culture and ‘why’s of the city. Why are there many arcs between the buildings? Why are there small bowl-like structures by the wells? Why we don’t see many detached buildings? etc.. We learned so much not only about the attractions of Venice, but also the life in Venice. The icing on the cake was a visit to the chocolate and lemoncello-tastings in the dedicated shops!! I strongly suggest this tour and Majid as a guide. Make sure you pin each location visited as it is difficult to find later on as you’ll want to visit again!!
