Amazing tour to see Venice from the top - One of the most amazing tours that I've done in Venice; you will visit three different.rooftops that are hidden gems (I've been to Venice at least 20 times and I've never discovered them!) and you will get a small sweet breakfast and an aperitivo at the end with a nice glass of prosecco. The views are outstanding, our guide, Elisa, was super nice and knowledgeable and we walked together in the quiet streets of the city which are the best ones if you want to discover how the real Venice is. A small group is perfect for this experience. Totally recommend even for first time visitors!

So fun! - I had a wonderful tour with Eliza! Due to a rainy forecast, everyone else canceled…so I lucked out and ended up with a private tour. Due to the rain, we we were only able to do 2 of the 3 terraces, but that didn’t matter. I still had a fun and informative tour. Eliza walked me around and gave me all sorts of information. The first terrace included a coffee and snack. Even though I couldn’t go up to the last terrace, I still got my glass of Prosecco. So happy I braved the rain and had this lovely experience.

Fabulous way to see Venice - It was not what I was expecting . 3 rooftops with Prosecco at the very end. However I had a wonderful time and our guide was amazing!! We got to see little touches of the city you would t otherwise notice and why they were important. 10/10 would recommend!

Spectacular views on an insiders tour of the city - Vanessa is a magnificent tour guide. She wove stories of the sites and sounds we were seeing. Highlight of the tour was the visiting the conservatory roof a place normally off limit to visitors. Live music floated out the windows, as we climbed to a panoramic view of the entire city. Do add this trip to your list! Be prepared to walk - but even on the hottest days the narrow streets are well shaded.

Great First View of Venice! - This was our first tour in Venice and it was a really great way to see Venice from the rooftops, something you wouldn't normally know how to do. Vanessa was a fabulous guide, and our group really had fun getting to know her and each other as well as developing a true appreciation of Venice's history and food. She said we would have new friends at the end of the tour and she was right!

Very informative, unfortunately not recommended in rain - Vanessa was a very personable and extremely competent guide through Venice's hidden alleys and canals. Unfortunately, the tour lacks the exact description of the viewpoints - a shortcoming. I booked this tour also to enjoy the view from the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, unfortunately was cancelled:(. Because of the bad weather or not included in the tour at all? (2022 probably still included) Instead, there was a visit to Scala Contarini del Bovolo- I already knew:(. Nevertheless, I would book the tour again, simply because of the very interesting and informative guided tour of Vanessa; but not in bad weather and please again a better description of the tour with the individual viewpoints would certainly be helpful for anyone who decides on this tour (75€).

Meh… - Tour guide was sweet but not conversational or engaging. She did not speak loudly enough for all 8 of us to hear. She did share some “fun facts” about Venetian life, past and present, but overall the tour was mostly dull.
