Great way to see Venice! - We had a great few hours with Jorge walking through Venice. His stories were fun and engaging and our kids were entertained the whole time! The gondola ride was also a highlight. Best time of day to explore the city. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

Don’t do it - All of the free tours I’ve done in over 20 countries were better than this one!! -No bathroom stops even with request -Paid for private tour for 13 but only 4 people could hear the entire time -English was hard to understand and very soft spoken with no mic or attempts to speak up even after asking -Wouldn’t wait for the entire group to catch up before started talking -Learned more about the tour guide (even met multiple friends and husband) than the actual city -“Dark” aspects of the tour from those who could hear were just pointing out the jail -Would’ve been cheaper and more enjoyable to just pay for the gondolas outright
