“Lady who was our guide went on a bit too much until it was quite boring. More tour and less talk would of been nice. Not worth the money.”

“Loved the walking earphone piece so that we could hear the guide in larger crowds. Our guide was so knowledgeable and we really enjoyed our tour with her. We chose to go in the early morning (8:45am) and we are so glad we did. We avoided crowds for most of the trip and the heat was more bearable. However, there are many rooms inside the palace and prison without AC - BRING A CHARGEABLE/BATTERY-POWERED HANDFAN AND WATER. This was a game changer for me and allowed me to focus on the tour more than the heat!”
Skip the line at Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica on a small-group Venice walk with quiet corners, La Fenice, and Bovolo Staircase.

“This was an amazing experience for us. My daughter and I booked the 8pm grand canal rowing tour and it was absolutely beautiful and worth the price. Anna was our guide and she was extremely kind and so informative about venice and pointed out many sights. My daughter rowed our gondola-like boat under the Rialto bridge!”

“It was easy to find the start and well organised. It was steaming hot and no cooler inside the palace (not anyone’s fault but for reference of future clients). Our guide was decent and informative but perhaps understandably given the heat she wasn’t hugely enthusiastic. Still it was definitely worth seeing and having a guide.”
Skip lines at Doge’s Palace with a guide and headsets, cross the Bridge of Sighs, and choose Secret Itineraries for hidden routes.
“We arrived at the meeting place and were immediately greeted personally by a coordinator, then walked to a meeting place on St. Mark’s Square to our guide, Valentina who had just finished another tour and didn’t have anyone but us for this tour. Valentina was wonderful, very helpful and made our tour great, even though it was accidentally just the two of us, she was patient, kind and funny. Beautiful rooms, interesting to know the stories of a place with intriguing history. We enjoyed this tour as it seemed very well run and we felt very taken care of. We would recommend.”
