The tour itself was great as was a the gondola ride! Both the guide and the gondolier were very pleasant. Our issue was with the male staff member at your meeting point. Admittedly, we were late for the tour as we had trouble navigating from our cruise ship to the meeting point. When I asked him where we could meet them, he very reluctantly gave me an address for my google maps and sent us on our way WITHOUT THE HEADSET. His complete attitude from the first moment was rude and condescending.

The tour guide never showed up & we were very disappointed. We waited for over an hour & asked 10 different people if that was the correct location & we confirmed we were at the correct address & no guide showed. I would appreciate a refund since we were left abandoned waiting for someone to show up. Very unprofessional! We are very disappointed & I spent good money on a tour that didn't happen. Show

The meeting point wasn't specific. The maps gave us two different locations, so we kept going back and forth trying to find the group. At one point, we were at the right spot 5 minutes before the tour started, but I guess the group left early. The tour guide should’ve had a flag or worn specific clothing. My friend and I are still waiting for a refund.

I took the train up from Florence to spend the day in Venice. The walking tour was quite informative, and our guide was very knowledgeable and quite pleasant she kept us altogether in the crowded streets of Venice. The gondola ride was quite nice. It was a very good way to check out Venice in a day.

Valentina was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable, engaging and easy to understand. We had a lot of fun and I feel like we learned a lot! This was probably my favorite walking tour while traveling Italy! Valentina then took us to meet up with Riccardo, the guide who led us to the Gondola ride. Born and raised in Venice, he really knew his stuff. He was an incredibly intelligent young man who answered all of our questions! He also had a wonderful sense of humor. Thank you Valentina, Riccardo and our Gondolier for a great morning!

Die Tour mit Francesco war super. Durch enge Gassen und kleine Hinterhöfe haben wir viel über Venedig erfahren. Vom Anfang über den Markusplatz bis hin zum Ende bei der Rialtobrücke waren wir gute 2h unterwegs die sich aber nicht so angefühlt haben. Auch die Fahrt danach in der Gondel war ein Erlebnis! Absolut empfehlenswert!

Notre guide était sympathique et intéressante. Le tour de gondole est un must lors d'une première visite à Venise. Nous avons eu un peu de difficultés à trouver le point de rencontre. Nous avions réservé pour 10h croyant que le tour à pied et le tour de gondole étaient l'un après l'autre. Toutefois, le tour de gondole était en après-midi. Par chance, nous avions rien planifié durant l'après-midi. Somme toute, nous avons apprécié notre expérience.

I liked the gondola ride and the guide for that ride. He was speaking English rather well, he was funny, chatismatic and he told us interesting things. However, the walking tour guide, Francesco, didn't have more than a basic knowledge of English. Moreover, he talked partly in Italian and partly in English. So it was not an entirely English speaking guided tour as I expected. For my taste, what he said was rather basic. There were not that many interesting insights or anecdotes into Venetian history,culture and architecture. But he did show us areas of Venice that we would not have found on our own. Overall,a nice experience.

Tix easy. Guide Marina great. My only suggestion. I wear hearing aids, as did a few others on the tour. May I suggest the guides wear a better mic that secures to the ear and the mic is on a boom so it is against their cheek. Then the sound level is constant and not dropping when they turn to point something out or answer a question. Thank you, John
