Gondola Ride with Private Walking Tour in Venice
Maps751886, Sep 2026
An exceptional guide, an exceptional tour
Our city tour and gondola ride was perfect! Our guide, Saroush was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and very informative and I believe he told us some insightful and interesting facts about Venice that were not only interesting but researched thoroughly by him and not available from any other tour guide. He was friendly, kind, patient (we had a lot of questions!) and an all around great guy. We wanted him to hang with the rest of the day, but alas he was needed by other tourists. Lol I would highly recommend requesting his services when booking. John our gondolier, was a pleasure as well. We enjoyed our time with him very much. I hadn’t been to keen about taking a gondola ride, but I am so glad I did! Seeing the city from that perspective was a treat. A wonderful morning. Thank you

Amina is a wonderful guide! As we requested, she showed us the quieter side of Venice as we walked through neighborhoods, paused to talk about local history, and even enjoyed an authentic gondola ride. Very lovely tour! Thanks, Amina, for the mild pacing and sensitivity to the needs of older women!

Gorgeous day in the Dolomites!
Such a great day visiting the Dolomites! It’s a long day but it’s still relaxing since someone else is doing the driving. I messed up the meeting point but they were able to find us and even arranged a water taxi for us to get back to our hotel on the return. We had beautiful weather and our guide Max was great, navigating around traffic! Every location was out of a fairy tale!

A9619MRdonnad, Sep 2026
Amazing cooking experience!
We had a private cooking lesson with Massimo and it was one of the best things we have ever done while vacationing. He made the whole experience feel like cooking with family. The food was delicious and we can’t wait to try out the recipes when we get home. Our son is on the Autism Spectrum and he’s usually grumpy but he didn’t stop smiling the entire afternoon. It was a magical day. When we come back to Venice one day we will definitely be booking another lesson with Massimo.

Fabulous experience!
What an excellent experience!! Eleanora was a fantastic guide! She met us at our hotel and took us to the gorgeous water taxi out to Murano and the private glass blowing demonstration. We loved shopping and take note of the late season discounts (supposedly)! I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
