Explore Venice by foot and gondola, from La Fenice and Scala del Bovolo to the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge.
“It was a wonderful experience, but the tour guide really makes or breaks this activity, unfortunately our tour guide was not very exciting. We enjoyed the walking tour, being able to go to places we would not have gone otherwise, but wish our tour guide was a little bit more engaging. Yet there are many different tour guides, so hopefully this was just one average example. Loved going on the gondola! That was an awesome experience for us!”

“The ticket exchange place was able to give us an earlier time which was nice. The ride was smooth and beautiful. A bit of rain but didn’t deter from a great time. Gondolier was pleasant but didn’t talk as he was busy navigating the narrow canals. Everyone should do this ride at least once. 😁”

“nice ride and was not too long and not too short i would definitley book this one”
Review of Venice’s 3.5-hour tour with St. Mark’s Basilica, Doge’s Palace, expert guide, skip-the-line entry, and gondola ride.
“The tour is only worth being able to skip the lines at the Basilica and the Doges Palace. The tour guide was awful. None of the colorful history or “insider” information i have come to expect on guided tours. Instead we learned how clocks work and that water is wet. We spent more than 45 minutes in only 2 rooms in the Doges place listening to her drone on and on. It appeared that she had memorized the information on the placards and was simply repeating it.”

“This was perfect to see it all and ended with Gondola ride! Both tour guides were extremely knowledgeable!”
Pick the kind of day first, then pick the tour.
