Embark on a captivating journey through St. Mark's Square, where architectural wonders like the illustrious St. Mark's Basilica, the opulent Doge's Palace, and the time-defying renaissance clock tower await your exploration. Venture into the exquisite residential realm of Castello, a labyrinth of beguiling bridges, enchanting alleyways, and idyllic squares that beckon your discovery.
Unveil the treasures of campo Santa Maria Formosa and the storied campo San Giovanni & Paolo, where the majestic Basilica and the hallowed resting grounds of Venetian doges reside. Our erudite guide will regale you with historical chronicles, architectural spectacles, and enthralling tales from both Venice's storied past and its vibrant contemporary pulse.
The culmination of our walking odyssey graces St. Mark's Square once again, leading you through the bustling thoroughfare of Mercerie—a nexus of commerce connecting the iconic Rialto and San Marco.

Should’ve written this review right away because now, unfortunately, I cannot remember our tour guide’s name! She was friendly and knowledgeable and very good at keeping the group together and on-track (even though some parts of the walking tour were very crowded with other tourists and tours). It was great to learn the details about the various neighborhoods and buildings, architecture and history…things we would never know without doing tons of research on our own. The gondola ride was also very enjoyable —- we loved the banter between/amongst the gondoliers! Our guide also provided great background information about the gondoliers/gondolas that made the ride itself even more interesting. Time well-spent and would definitely recommend!

Tour was very informative. Our guide, Stephano, spoke very good english and made the tour fun. We lost audio several times as we wandered through the small alleys in San Marco. A very positive experience but know that the huge number of tourists can be a challenge in staying with the group.

Too much history and not enough landmarks of Venice. The Gondolier was not engaging with us. This could have been better.

I took part in a tour in Venice which included the walking tour and the gondola, we had a lot of fun. Our guide, Giovanna, was incredibly professional and courteous throughout the excursion. The gondola ride was fascinating and fun. Overall, I highly recommend this tour!

Our tour was great! The guide was very friendly and informative. And we loved that the audio devices allowing us to hear the guide were available to us. Great idea! Next time we'd like to do a tour of the palaces and basilicas.

The tour was fantastic! We learned so much and the tour guide had us laughing the whole time. Our guide showed us all the hidden gems that we didn’t know Venezia even had to offer and gave us tips for how to explore the city on our own. We were never bored and didn’t even realize how much we walked at the end because of how much we enjoyed it. Having the gondola ride included at the end was an added bonus. Recommend this tour to start off your stay in this charming city!

A thorough and balanced tour. The guide was personable and entertaining. The tour could have been better if it included entry into St. Mark's, but it would be longer and more expensive. Our gondolier was not chatty or a singer, but we had a reasonable amount of time on the water for our loop of travel.

Unfortunately, our train was delayed so we missed our booked time by 12 minutes and we were unable to go on the tour. No credit or refund was offered. Don’t be late no matter what happens. We had to go with a local/ independent company and pay more $$$ for the gondola ride only.

This tour was listed as a 5 person tour and that was not accurate at all. It had 20-25 people. We were not under the impression that we were signing up for a large group tour when we signed up our family of 4. The gondola portion of the tour was not enjoyable, as we didn’t go through any canals. It felt like a production assembly.
This was a disappointing experience.
