Customer Ratings and Reviews

Venice Combined Walking and Gondola Tour, Adult (Good)

"The guide was very knowlegable and we learnt a lot about Venice's history. The visit to St Mark's was rather brief. The gondola trip was disappointing. The gondoliers were more interested in talking to each other than to us. I think it would be better to start on one of the smaller canals and explore more of those areas, as progress is very slow starting in the lagood."

Venice Combined Walking and Gondola Tour, Adult (Good)

"Excellent walking tour. The only fault was that at end of the tour, the guide left us quite a distance from San Marco square and told to look for the signs to find our way back. It took us 1 1/2 hours."
