Very Informative! - My group was a very small group, which was lovely because we got to have an intimate tour. Marta was fantastic, switching between languages with ease, and she was very happy to answer any questions we had.

5 out of 5 great for figuring out the city - 5 out of 5 Julia played a blinder! We had just arrived and wanted to get a rough outline of the city and figure out where to eat and what to do. Julia was informative and knowledgeable. A couple arrived late and stopped to get a slice of pizza 🤦🏻‍♀️ she was patient way more than I would have been 😜👍🏻👍🏻

Walking tour around Spanish area and Rialto - The guide, Irene; was patient and professional. She combined both a Spanish and English tour and explained everything twice. She was positive and knowledgeable to us all. Wish it was longer.

Recommended, good price/performance ratio - Interesting tour, good value for money, definitely recommended, just too little time at the end between visiting St. Mark's Square and the return journey

A quick walk around Venice with little information - Irene was lovely but we did not learn much on our tour. It was more or less a brisk walk with very few stops and little to no information about landmarks or history. When we arrived at St. Marcos Square we were told it was the end of the tour and we were not provided any information about the square, cathedral, or palace until we asked where we were. Even then it was a very quick overview of the building we could see with no details. It was an inexpensive option and I guess we got what we paid for. We would not recommend.

Don’t waste your $ - Not worth it . Waste of $ tour was brief and rushed . This doesn’t give Venice justice . A more private tour would be much better. They scheduled people like cattle
