Best walking tour of Venice!

The four hour walking tour of Venice was terrific. The four hours were split pretty evenly between sites of Venice near St. Mark’s square
and the “Basilica and Doge Palace”. We had separate guides for each of the two pats and each guide was excellent. They were knowledgable, courteous, humorous and interesting in what they shared about what we saw. If your going to Venice, the four hour walking tour is a must!
Response from Host , Dec 2021
Wonderful walking tour of Venice highlights for one day visit.

We were on a one day visit to Venice and this tour was very good for seeing highlights and experiencing some of the history during the walk. The walk of the tour was longer than I expected but very interesting thanks to our excellent tour guide Emmanuela. She shared interesting history and answered many of our questions. We did not do the gondola ride. Recommended tour!
Relaxed and informative

Very informative tours of the city, basilica and palace, everything was well paced and nicely explained! I liked that we were given the essential information (personally I don’t like to be bombarded with a ton of dates and names) and things were well organized.

Tour was not good. An excessive amount of people in the group, the headphones did not work and we could not hear the tour guide most the time. The tour guide was rude at times towards children and tourist. She would get mad at the people of the group specially if we complaint we couldn’t hear her. She wouldn’t allow us to see the areas and was on a hurry all the time. She said “if you are going to come visit you should of studied the history” which makes no sense because then we wouldn’t of taken the tour😂. People were not happy and saying we should of gotten our money back. Overall worst tour and experience.

Gena our guide was incredible. Full of detail and anecdotes. Problem at beginning with an extremely loud family who thankfully decided to leave the tour. From then on we were treated to pure class, backstreets, routes, alleyways; each with a story. Paused at times to take in the quiet moments. Doge's Palace could be missed but At. Marks Basilica BRILLIANT. Excellent guide through this masterpiece and the very end of the tour IS the most amazing sight. You will have to find out! A group of Americans on the tour thought that was the best experience to be had in Europe- the guide and last part of your. Didn't need to do anything else after this tour. It filled in all the blanks. Credit to guide Gina or Gena! Amazing!
Great tour, poor service of the provider

Do not recommend. The walking tour was fantastic and the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot during and got great insight. The tour provider on the other hand was not that great. In fairness, we ran 5 minutes late as we misjudged the vaporetto time, so we called to ask if it would be possible to wait, or if we could catch up to the tour. The administrator was very rude, did not give us any options, nothing. Standard "you will lose the tour" and then i was hung up on. When i called back to see if we can change the date the call was rejected and alternatively bot even picked up. I get it, we were late, but at least be friendly. Thankfully the tour had not yet left when we arrived.

Worth skipping the lines

This tour involved a few miles of walking and was very thorough. It took us around Venice in the vicinity of St Mark's Square. After the walking tour we went into the Basilica which was astounding. We got several dirty looks and remarks as we really did "skip the line" and folks in line did not like it. There were 30 in our group so it wasn't huge and we each receive am earpiece so we could hear everything well. When you go into the Basilica you have to cover knees and shoulders or they won't let you in. There are sidewalk vendors all around selling cheap cover ups and scarves for this purpose. I would not recommend this tour for the elderly as it is tiring. There are lots of stairs and uneven pavements to cover. Informative and beautiful though.
An amazing morning!

My wife and I normally like to walk around a city on our own to investigate all the places the tours don't normally take you. On this tour we had a fantastic time, firstly in Doge Palace and then in the Basilica, which takes your breath away. She then took us for a walk and gave us more interesting stories and took us to places which I'm not sure we would have found on our own. Fantastic value for money!
Excellent Tour

Gina was fabulous as she is a Venetian and has an extensive background in history. She gave us a thorough history/ perspective on Venice, government, Doge's Palace, St. Mark's, and an excellent short walking tour. She timed it perfectly as St. Mark's only has lights on for 15 min on hour and we could sit in middle as she gave history. I would highly recomment this tour and if you can request Gina!!!
Great glimpse of city

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email.
