Great tour for the whole family! - We had a great time on our tour! Brankica was very knowledgeable and had so many great stories to keep our kids entertained. We enjoyed her company during the two hours she spent with us, and we would definitely recommend this tour.

Venice through the eyes of Brankica! - My family elected to learn about the incredible history of Venice, the buildings/landmarks that shap the landscape, and to appreciate how modern Venetian‘s lives day-to-day. As such, we could not have asked for a better nor more qualified guide than Brankica. She was immediately likable, engaging, and has accumulated an impressive amount of knowledge about all things Italy and specifically Venice! Brankica has spent the last 30-years living in Venice and clearly has a passion for the island, its people, and its unique history. If you don’t book this tour with Brannon’s then you’re missing out on meeting an impressive woman who will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression of Venice.

Amazing ghost tour - Jorge our tour guide was enthusiastic while sharing interesting and memorable stories about Venice. He guided us through the city pointing out all the details of the districts. Definitely I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting an intriguing walk through Venice’s past. The gondola ride was the cherry on top! He was a great tour guide!

Highly recommend - A lovely way to see and hear about Venice, with a great mix of that ‘ghostly’ and historical. Ottavia was friendly, engaging and so knowledgable - we would recommend her for any guided tour. Not to mention the relaxing ‘must do’ gondola ride 😊

So knowledgeable and thoughtful - Lorenzo was so knowledgeable! He was able to show us so many highlights of Venice, paired with some of the spookier legends of the city. He went above and beyond helping us to find a restaurant for dinner at the end of the tour. We had a wonderful time!

Don't do it. - The local guide was very good. She was delightful. But everything else a joke. LIV, the local company kept moving the tour. They changed the time and then moved the location. How does the local company not know when the gondola's end. Really poor
