The first part of the tour, the bar hop, was truly a disappointment. Although our guide was pleasant, He didn't give any interesting commentary. Talked about football and his girlfriend more and when asked any questions about venice, didn't seem too knowledgeable. Visited 2 bars and although advertised as mix with the locals and enjoy their culture, we weren't even allowed in and had to wait outside while he went in to get a small drink each, basically a shot of wine. Was advertised as enjoy local wines but at both bars we were given the same drink and the tour was over in 40 minutes. The second part, The ghosts and legends tour was better and very interesting but overall the whole thing was done in 2 hours although it says 3h 45 mins. All in all, not worth the money. Maybe just do the second part of the tour.

What this doesn’t tell you is that it’s not a ghost and legends pub crawl!! Nope it’s a wine food tour and then a ghost and legends tour. After waiting 15 minutes past when we were supposed to start, our first tour guide was talking all about food and wines so we were a bit confused. I asked if this was ghost and legends pub crawl and was told No. Then I asked her to wait while I verify the tour and she actually left us!! Luckily (So I thought at that point) there was another tour we were able to become a part of. The tour guide was nice but because they started late waiting for people who never show up…. He basically ran us through the streets. We got to the first bar and spent 7 yes 7 minutes there. Rush off to the next where we spent about 10 minutes. We then need to sprint the streets back to the starting point, where everyone for the ghost tour was now waiting on us. At least the ghost and legends portion of this was OK. More a Venice history lesson then really anything to do with ghost and legends. The Baker Boy is the really only “ghost story” you get.

You start with the bar hop, with people who may only be booked on to that part of the tour. You will visit two bars, and have a small glass of wine and 1 cicchetti in each. I do feel for the price there should have been a little more to eat. You then return to the meeting point to pick up anyone who is booked onto the ghost part of the tour (and drop off anyone who isn't). The second part is a lot 9f walking, so wear comfy shoes. Found some interesting parts of Venice I hadn't come across before. Our guide was knowledgeable and there was a lot of information, not just about ghosts.

I would have rated this tour higher, but the Bar Hop portion was a little disappointing. The guide was difficult to hear and the tour could have been more organized and fun. The Ghost & Legends portion of the tour was a lot of fun! The guide for this tour was fun, informative and friendly. I was really engaged with her stories and learned a lot of great facts about Venice while walking the city at night.

The worst. We checked in 15 minutes prior to the 6 pm departure as we were told to do. We went to the restroom and when we returned there were 4 others people looking for the guide but she had left! At least 5 minutes early. We were unable to find her or the rest of the group nor able to reach anyone at the number given. We will be disputing the charges
