However read the description as the tour involves a lot of stairs, some people were unable to complete the tour, as a result.
One issue that I can't fault the tour guide for was people having conversation and missing key points of information, then asking questions that had already been answered.
A number a people attempted to listen in on the tour, which was aggravating, as the tour wasn't cheap. But the guide politely informed them it was a private tour, once she spotted them.
Excellent overall. read less

She showed us many interesting and unusual things we would’ve probably missed if we haven’t had the tour.
The only problem is that our online QR code Venice Tours ticket didn’t include clear enough instructions or details that we don’t meet her outside Cathedral but somewhere else!!
We had to come to the Venice tours office to meet the group which isn’t that easy to find! So we missed our tour slot, but they kindly let us go an hour later, which we are very grateful for. read less

It is nice to float on the small canals of Venice and the skills of the gondoliers are impressive. The price you pay here (appr. 40 dollars) is lower than other gondola tour operators.
However, if you want to book this activity please consider that you are indeed only 5 in a gondola, but for the rest you are part of a touristic mass organisation. It is not a relaxing or intimate activity. The introduction takes place with appr. 50 people, devided in 2 groups of appr. 25 people. In order to know in which boat you have to take place, you are asked to put a sticker on your coat with a number. For the introduction each of the 2 groups contain people speaking different languages, so you always have to wait until the explanation is done in your language. read less

The chef shares so much of hard earned experience, tips, and tricks, condensed into a fast class. Further, the chef is an environmentalist, reducing waste where possible. The recipes and cooking also are basic enough that they can actually be done at home, without specialized equipment and mostly without specialized ingredients. Sometimes the chef’s passion and expertise can be a little intimidating for guests as it may come off as a little pushy, but it’s necessary if students are to do cooking and if the dishes are to come out excellent. The chef talks very fast, so a strong understanding of English will be helpful to get as much of the teaching as possible. read less

This class was so much fun. Her love and excitement over cooking draws you in and makes you equally excited about it. She is friendly and welcoming, making you feel like you are in a friend's kitchen. We made three courses that we had no idea we were capable of making. Our daughter has already made fresh pesto at home and we've only been home for a day! Dining on the terrace was a wonderful experience. Aside from the cooking, Carolyn was full of tips and information about Venice, both in activities around the city as well as casual conversation about life and food in Venice. This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Venice and will be a lasting memorable experience for our family. read less

I would however get your tickets when you get there as they will be cheaper.
Buying tickets here on line only gives you a booking confirmation.
You then have to go to a ticket office in Venice about ten minutes away from the palace to get the actual tickets (plus the free guide book)
So you might as well get them when you get there - cheaper.

If you are doing the afternoon visit, then you have to wait around near pier 1A until the boat can find somewhere to berth (which may or may not be here exactly!) The guide will then come out with the blue sign for 'Lagoon tours' so just be on the look out and ask around if in any doubt.
The first island was Murano where we were herded straight into a demonstration on glass blowing and the obligatory visit to the (expensive) gift shop. There wasn't time to walk about and discover the island unfortunately. After this we sailed to the tiny island of Torcello. Again just a quick visit really. By the time we walked to the church it was time to walk back to the boat again! Our third island visit was Burano and we wished we could have spent more time here on this colourful island.
Although good value for money, maybe it is too ambitious to squeeze in 3 islands into 4 hours duration and overall the trip felt rather rushed. Our guide was great and cleverly spoke in 4 different languages.. read less

We met by St Marco Sq and were handed our headsets and as we walked through the alleys towards our gondola, Ezra shared his knowledge of Venice with us with humour and interest. The gondola ride itself was a unique, bucket list experience, riding the smaller waterways as well as the Grand Canal. You do not wear your headsets when in the gondola itself , you just enjoy the experience. We would 100% recommend thistrip , we could find no fault with it from start to finish read less

Go to the news stand in St Mark’s Square. There isn’t one it’s through the arch under the piazza at the far end and yes it’s between Fendi and Italian post office.
You can only redeem tickets on the day. So trying to be prepared doesn’t happen.
Arriving on the day, paperwork was available however redeeming the audio guide was a real faff. Hence my concern over those less tech able being able to benefit from this.

I took a round trip in the linea 1 vaporetto to see all of the Canale Grande and Lido late afternoon, certainly more economic than a tour and fascinating. Also to Torcello to see the medieval church with its amazing Byzantine inspired last judgement. The other days I visited a variety of the palazzi, Grimini, Ca’ d’oro, the Peggy Guggenheim (definitely over rated), the Byzantine icon Museum, the Correr, the exhibit on Carpaccio, the secreti tour of the Palazzo ducale, the Academia, plus a few churches…. read less

The guide greets you at the meet up point, provides clear instruction and guidance, and then takes the group on a short walking tour with commentary en route to the Gondolas. Although this is a “group” tour, it is split up over several Gondolas so there are only between 2 and 5 people in each boat. Would highly recommend this trip, especially considering the actual amount of time spent in the Gondola, and the low price compared to most other trips! read less

The guy knew English perfectly and told us very intriguing things about Venice. Do you know that the gondolas are controlled in number? And all are painted black?
The gondola rider we had was really a nice dude! Joking, whistling, and definitely an expert in his job, he balanced the boat so I didn't even realized we're in water... read less

I did check with customer service on viator if I needed to buy a ticket for her and they said no. But when I went up the clerk told me she counted as an adult and there could not be 6 people to a gondola. So I would have to pay for another boat. But he said it was a common issue they were running into after coivd. So I sat out with the baby, it's all good though. The others said they really enjoyed the boat ride. It was so relaxing they fell asleep lol. read less

I would recommend this because if you buy at the gate it’s a high up-charge. read less

Although we had already done one guided walk (including a gondola ride) we decided to take up the offer of a rescheduled walk and we were glad we did. Both were excellent, however this walk took us into areas less visited and our guide was very informative. She took us to cat book shop and Museum of Fortuny, both places which sadly we didn’t have time to visit properly but would definitely do so next time. We would certainly recommend this walk as a great introduction to places to return to and to the history of Venice. read less

Challenging to find the stand to redeem online vouchers for tickets, instructions appear clear however it is a busy place and the ‘stand’ was not obvious.
It’s also not clear who you are traveling with or the departure point.
I found the boat and depart point through luck or we would have missed the trip.
The itinerary for the tour is good and well worth the visit.
It would be beneficial however to have an itinerary to confirm how long the stay on each island is to allow time for refreshments/ lunch which would fit perfectly if we had been told before hand.
For added excitement thread passengers were left at the second island and had to catch up the tour by private water taxi.
The islands, are well worth the trip. Glass blowing demo on Murano interesting but as usual exit via the gift shop.
In sum good but could be improved with better communication and easier ticket collection. read less

My wife and I only had 24 hours in Venice, and this was one of the best ways to spend it. We got the classic Venice gondola experience at a fraction of the cost (in-person it costs ~80 euros, we paid 32 euros per person through Trip Advisor).
Sara the tour guide (a Venetian native) did an incredible job - she was extremely kind and educated. She provided the the first half of the tour (a walking guided tour that gave a brief history of Venice and the historical significance of gondolas). Not only did she share a lot of information, but she did it fluently in 2 different languages (English and Spanish).
The gondola ride was a nice and leisurely, and just the right amount of time you'd want to spend in a boat (I think any longer than 30 minutes starts to be a bit too much). Awesome experience, highly recommend. read less

It did begin to rain but it was a light rain and we were able to take the gondola. Certainly an experience that every Venice tourist would enjoy. I read that it was difficult to find where the check in area is but I didn't find this at all. If you simply exit the St. Mark's square on the opposite side of the basilica there is a flag out that says gondola and representatives waiting to assign you a gondola. My only negative is that the commentary is only on the land. When you're on the boat there is no commentary so there was no one to point areas of interest. However, it was a a beautiful ride. read less

But finally, we opted for one, and I am glad we did. It is a different experience, particularly the commentary from gondolier makes the ride even more interesting. yes - it is expensive, but an experience worth paying for. In April, the price seems to have increased a bit, and it was pretty much 80E for 30 min ride. They say 30-35 min, but our ride was over in 25 min, which we did not exactly like. but still worth the money and time spent. read less

There are four of us -- two adults, and two tween/teen girls (ages 12 and 14). I wasn't sure how the girls would feel about basically a craft project, but they loved it. Even moreso, my partner who was skeptical walked away really thrilled with the experience and our final results. (As he just said, "Write in the review that the dad even loved this!")
This family-owned shop has amazing masks on display. We had a ton of blank mask options to choose from, and then our instructor offered suggestions on how to decide where to add our colors. After a couple of rounds of painting, all while learning more about Venice and mask-making, he added amazing accents to each mask.
Our masks look like works of art thanks to his finishing touches, and they are proudly on display at home now that we've returned.
This is an experience we would definitely recommend! read less

The history,the atmosphere and just floating down the narrow canals is really surreal. The guide was excellent, you get a decent size walking tour as well to learn the history. Would do it again in a second! read less

The tour directors are easy to find with their directions and clear signage. Guide was informative, funny, and friendly (forgot his name but he's a native Venetian with braided pony tail).
Would recommend this tour for a sample of what a Gondola ride can be. read less

I really enjoyed this one. It's about 30 minutes and prior to the ride, we got a 20 minute walking tour (from the meeting place to the gondolas). That was a treat. When we arrived, the groups and numbering system were organized and we boarded our gondola within five minutes. While walking, the tour guide's microphone didn't properly work and therefore I couldn't hear the entire commentary. I loved this quick tour because it allowed us to do more in our day. It was a nice time to unwind for 30 minutes and take lots of pictures on the canal! Our gondola operator was very skilled but didn't talk as much. Overall, totally worth it! read less

Still, you had to pay a lot of attention to her pronounciation, and we wish she could have just thrown a little joke here or there to keep the interest peaked. Nevertheless a very interesting tour. read less

There is so much to take in at the St Mark's Basilica and the Doge Palace that having an expert guide certainly means that you don't miss important details. I absolutely loved it. Please note this is a 3 hour tour, however there is a mid-way break.
Comfortable shoes are a must as you will be on your feet for 3 hours. read less
