We showed up at the meeting location but the guide did not show. I sent a message to the tour company that was not answered. The other attendees contacted their organizer and were informed (well after the start of the tour) that it was cancelled.

Incredible way to see Venice. We saw places we never would have seen without this tour and tour guide. Highly recommend this tour! Expensive but worth it.

Our tour guide Jennifer was top notch. We enjoyed traveling in a small group! The boat driver was very helpful with my husband who was using his cane during this trip. We love all the sites and the relaxing boat right it was just the right length! It’s pricey but was well worth it !!

The views of Venice from the bell tower were spectacular. The lengthy boat ride literally around and thru Venice accompanied by the excellent narrative gave us a better understanding of the city, its inhabitants, and the many sites within. Our tour guide ensured we were fully informed, comfortable, and secure.

Amazing trip in Venice on what was essentially a private excursion, as no one else showed up for the tour. Our guide, Barbara, was excellent and engaging. Really enjoyed this tour.
