We booked a private Venice in one day tour with Artviva on our recent visit to Venice. It included a gondola tour, Venice Walking tour, St Mark's Basilica tour, and Grand Canal Tour. Our hotel was not located on the canal so the staff had emailed us a meeting point at the Rialto Bridge taxi stand. We arrived at 8:30... more

Before our recent trip to Italy, my husband and I booked Artviva tours in Florence and Venice. In Venice we did the "Venice in One Glorious Day," which included a gondola ride and walking tour, tour of St. Mark's and Doge's Palace, and an early evening Grand Canal tour (we did not take the boat to Murano). We had Jennifer... more
We just wanted to express our sincere thanks for this kind review. We go to enormous trouble to ensure our wonderful guides in Venice, Rome, Tuscany and Florence do great tours and that our clients are happy and well looked after. The Staff at Artviva The Original and Best Tours Italy
On a recent trip to Venice, we took a tour offered by ArtViva. We took The Original and Best Gondola Tour. We wanted to take a gondola ride anyway so when we saw this tour which did not cost us much more than the ride was going to cost us anyway, we booked it. The ride included part time on... more
Thank you so much for your kind review. Our Original Gondola tour is indeed a great way to learn about the life of a gondolier and see iconic Venice. The Staff at Artviva The Original and Best Tours Italy
We loved Artviva's tours. The Gondola tour was so interesting and informative – and so much fun – we decided on the spot to take the Grand Canal tour later that day, even though we had already done the same tour the day before with Avventure Bellissime. The contrast was remarkable – Artviva's tour was wonderful; that one was awful.... more
Dear Mike and Dana Thank you so much for your kind review. Offering and delivering high quality tours in Italy is a real challenge so it is enormously satisfying when clients express gratitude for our efforts. The Staff at Artviva The Original and Best Tours Italy
Artviva's "Our Classic Gondola Ride" was a wonderful ride, very friendly gondolier. Absolutely worth the money. Hassle-free thanks to ArtViva. Will definitely book with ArtViva again for my next trip in Europe. more
Thanks so much for your kind review. We have gone to great trouble find friendly gondoliers! We are delighted when our tourism services in Venice, Rome, Tuscany and Florence are appreciated. The Staff at Artviva The Original and Best Tours Italy
I had a really interesting and fun tour of the Uffizi gallery in Florence with a company called Artviva. We were escorted to the gallery by a young guide who is a native speaker of English and were able to gain entry without the usual interminable wait in the queue. Having visited the gallery before, I know it is a... more
Thanks so much for your review. Our Uffizi gallery guides are carefully chosen and trained to give a great tour. We look forward to showing this world famous gallery to you. The Staff at Artviva The Original and Best Tours.
Beware of this company!!! We made the mistake of booking 2 tours with them. We should have known there was a problem because they charge your credit card for a tour at the time of booking. We contacted them 3 times about a Venice tour and asked if it would be a problem if we were 5 minutes late(due to... more
To Tripadvisor Readers This reviewer is angry and has already aired their grievances in a number of places. The reviewer booked and paid for a small group to join our Venice Grand Canal boat tour which is a small group tour with a maximum of 11 participants and lasts one hour. The reviewer paid in advance of the tour. We...
Absolutely loved our Best of Tuscany tour despite the rainy day. Especially enjoyed visiting the working winery/vineyard and having lunch there AND seeing San Gimignano. Thought our guide was incredibly charming and knowledgable. Have recommended this tour company to other travellers and will definitely book again if the opportunity arises. PS you can check out the tour company at www.italy.artviva.com more
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We have been doing our Best of Tuscany tour for over ten years now. We find our clients appreciate very much the small group and relaxed pace, with great food, wine, classic towns and views, so it is gratifying when a client takes the trouble to speak about this publicly. The Staff...
Cynthia Johnson gave us all the scoop, past and present. It was fun to hear her stories - personal ones and those of the celebrities and past Venetians. It's a good tour to get off your feet and sit in a water taxi. We would take another one. Cynthia had a great way sharing. You felt like you know her... more
All the Venice tours were absolutely amazing! After doing the Walking Tour in Florence we fell in love with Artviva and had high expectations of the Venice tour. I am very happy to tell you that our expectations were met and surpassed. The guides were incredible, personable, friendly and brought the history of the sights to life in a funny,... more
