Just do it! - Must do to see and learn about the real Venice. Ask any question and get a genuine response from someone who lives in the city, and loves it!

Great tour - We needed up on a private tour with just the three adults in my family. Our guide tailored the tour to us and showed us many great sites.

Walking tour and gondola ride in Venice - Tour girl was excellent at describing all we were seeing and made sure no one in her group got left behind. Gondola ride was a great finishing touch.

Would recommend, especially the tour! - Very informative tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and kept a good pace so everybody could keep up. Gondala ride was ok, more of back streets than the grand canal. Would recommend.

Riding with strangers , smh! - The tour was informative and interesting. I wasn't aware that I would be sharing a gondola with people that I did not know. The other couple sat in the lounge seating while my wife and I sat on opposides of the boart on small stools. Tfe lounging couple kept asking us to take pictures of them while we were trying to stay perched onto our stools. The gondola ride was miserable riding with another couple who we had no idea who they were. It was really ridiculous and I wish this was explained in the details or on the tour. Had I known I wouldn't even gotten on the gondola. Really disappointing.

Not very good - The transmission didn’t work well maybe that’s the way it is. The tour was boring like reading from a script. The gondola ride was good
