Magical experience with the lights twinkling on the evening water - It was so special. Imagine only two other gondolas seen in our time because so many people did not show as there was a light sprinkle of rain. The experience was magical seeing people turning their lights on as the day turned to evening. My wife and I loved all of it.

Ghosts may be real - Sabrina provided a wonderful walking tour of the city, telling us amazing stories and lore of various spots as we walked through winding streets. The trip ends with a lovely private gondola ride at night. We enjoyed every moment of the tour and are grateful to Sabrina for her time and local knowledge.

Lovely experience on the private after dark tour - We had a good time with our guide Chiara, a very energetic and friendly person with a lot of knowledge about Venice. We could ask anything and we learned a lot. We walked in streets we would not have found on our own. The gondola ride was nice and quiet with romantic evening lights. And the gondolier was a young and enthusiastic man who also told us interesting things on the way, so we were lucky with him since usually the gondolier doesn’t speak.

Perfect private tour for those new to Venice or those with limited time. Ideal for couples or family. - If you are looking for a fabulous walking tour of Venice that not only enriches you with its deep history but allows you to cover a lot of ground, then this is the tour for you. We were here with our 2 adult children and we were fortunate enough to have Brankica as our guide. She has an incredible knowledge of Venice and gave us wonderful insight into its past and its cherished history. And then to end the evening with a spectacular gondola ride through the less traversed canals made this a perfect tour. Starting the tour later in the day proved to be a game changer as the delightful weather made it so easy to walk around and see so many great spots. Brankica’s pace was great. She knew so much and presented it in am interesting and engaging way. I HIGHLY recommend this tour and HIGHLY recommend requesting Brankica!

Excellent experience but pricey - Our guide was wonderful and the gondola at night is a must! The sights and information shared with us were interesting and the time flew! Taking a gondola ride at night was so peaceful and lovely, and our gondolier was amazing. Great information but also gave us time to just enjoy the peace. The only downside is it was a bit pricey.
