The best day - It’s a long trip, let’s just say that when you are picked up from Garda at 8.35 and don’t get back till not far off the same time in the evening but well worth it! The bus was 10 minutes late picking us up and then there had been an accident on the motorway which meant our driver took us on the b roads so the trip to Venice was about 3 hours long. Francesco our guide talked for all those 3 hours! We had a laugh with other people on the coach so all in all it was fine. We arrived at the port and then took the boat to Venice. It’s absolutely amazing and a little mind blowing when you first see it but just incredible. We had a short tour with the guide and then about 3 hours free time in which we wandered and grabbed some lunch. There is an optional gondola ride and lagoon tour with TUI also. There is nothing better than drinking a Bellini in the sun people watching in Venice. The tour itself was great, very well organised and well worth the money in my opinion. Highly recommend.

Great day in Venice - We had a great trip from Garda to Venice and really enjoyed the experience. Our guide Frederick was amazing as he was very knowledgable and gave us a good history lesson on the bus and then on the walk around Venice and also on the boat tour of the lagoon. We learned a lot from him he was a genuinely interesting, funny and kind guide. He also sorted us out vegan options when we all stopped in a restaurant for lunch, which made things a lot easier. We would have loved to have had a bit more free time to explore Venice, but obviously there is a lot to fit in, and there is not enough time in the day. Overall, we are glad we booked and would recommend it for anyone thinking of going. We didn't have enough money for the extra gondola trip, but we were not really that bothered as the trip around the lagoon was longer and we got an extra history lesson from Frederick. Thank you!

Very nice trip to Venice - top organization - Very nice day in Venice! Good trilingual tour guide. Mega lunch in Venice with wine and water, pasta with salad and dessert for 18 euros. Gondola ride for 35 euros per person was also great. Optionally, you can book a boat trip in the afternoon in the outskirts of Venice for 25 euros, but we skipped this. All in all, super organized and carried out 😊👍

Day trip to Venice - Had a lovely day in Venice. The trip was on the long side from Lake Garda but still worth very penny. The guide was helpful and no one got lost - always a plus.

Venice with ease - A tour of Venice has always been on our list. We had a phenomenal time, with the right balance of information and freedom to explore the area of Venice. Without the organization of the tour group, access would have been challenging. Only issue I had with the tour was the meeting point provided was actually 10km further from a point the tour group picked up members. At the end of the day the tour operator dropped us off in front of our hotel, saving us over 50€ in taxi fare. They didn’t have to do that, but the Viator directed pick up didn’t pass the common sense test by the tour operator. Overall we appreciated the common sense approach and the informative tour. We’d use them again.

Great bucket list trip, but beware of all the €xtras. - Lovely trip. Frederico our tour guide was full of information and made the trip very enjoyable. If you want to do the lagoon tour and have lunch as part of the tour, then take plenty of extra cash. Also it’s worth knowing that a gondola ride is €90 per boat when you get there, which holds 5 people, so you probably won’t want to pay €35 per person on the bus before you get there unless you’re in a party of 2 or less.

Weather conditions will ruin your day - Raining heavily so didn't get to enjoy. Plus queues to places too long. Some locals not very friendly to tourists. Tax for sitting to eat
