          Romantic trip with the support from Top Venice
          Excellent arrangements with boat trip to Murano&Burano and sunset boat tour through Venice. Or guide, Kristina was very charming, knowledgeable, very positive, always smiling and friendly. She has shown us the best parts of the city and the neighborhood, with main attractions and hidden pearls. She seemed to know and love all the history and architecture of Venice. We were really happy to have her as our host in this beautiful and romantic city.

          Santa Monica is now a piece of Trash and the Metro could care less about Santa Monica
          I live close to the 17th street station , the City lets the Metro Shout over the loud Speaker all day all night . The speakers Yell at our homes way over city noise levels allowed , homeless sleep all over station . They bring a huge power washer in every night at 3 am so noisy with moters runing for a hour . How dare they no regard for the people who live in Santa Monica , homeless , trash everywere they have distroyed this City . Dont come to Santa Monica even the Beach is gross full of oil and sewer .

          The only way to see Murano/Burano
          We wanted a private tour of Murano and Burano and stayed by the airport so needed hotel pickup. This was one of only a couple willing to drive to our hotel. Sure, we paid extra for the pickup but we didnt have to hassle with busses and trains and boats. Monica was our guide and she was simply OUTSTANDING!!!! They even booked us a a 4 star restaurant on Burano and it was excellent. Every aspect of this tour was just beyond our expectations. This is a reliable company you can trust!!!!

          Gondola and sommelier tour
          We had an incredible time with our guide Sarah who taught us so much about Venice, gondolas, and Venetian classic wine/food. Must try experience if you’re in Venice!

          A Day Imprinted on my Heart
          Absolutely and unbelievably one of the best days of my life. Giuseppe, who arranged not only this tour but many other activities for me, is a dream come true. He was so helpful on my first trip to Venice! Our guide, Kristina, was a delight to spend the day with. I am not sure there is anything she didn’t know and she is just a wonderful person to spend time with. We are so grateful we had an opportunity to learn from her and we thoroughly enjoyed her company and amazing knowledge. Please book this tour. It will become a memory of a lifetime.

          Lovely hotel In an Amazing City
          Stayed in San Cassiano in Venice for 4 nights in September, A very nice hotel right on the Grand Canal with a lovely terrace on the canal when one can sits and have a bear of Grappa in the evening. The only down side was the steep strain up to the rooms, no lift so for the frail or infirm you must specify a room on the first floor. There is no restart in the hotel but a very good breakfast. If you want an amazing restaurant nearby then go to Regina Sconta just down the calle from the hotel

          Incredible crowds and modern shopping stores fill a unique 1600 year old city
          All cruise ships must dock at Chioggia, forcing all cruise passengers to travel on very slow ferries 1.5 hours through the south lagoon to St. Mark's square, the heart of Venice. Venice has become a huge tourist shopping mall, incredibly clogged with tourists. It is hard to find and appreciate the history, still available. A gondola ride is a charming must, however brief, to feel the flavor of ancient Venice. Water taxis, very expensive to get from airport to Venice hotels. Murano and Burano are even longer to get to. Murano emphasizes glass blowing, better seen on Netflix. Burano, demonstrates the beautiful painstaking art of beautiful lace.

          Private tour for the WIN!
          Gloria, our tour guide, was definitely the highlight. She was so accommodating and flexible with our wishes. Her depth of knowledge about Venice and surrounding islands was truly remarkable. I would book again with her 10/10. This private tour is worth it!

          a must with large bags but beware of unaffiliated baggage carriers!
          If you have big bags taking a private taxi from the train station to the hotel makes the arrival much more confortable especially in summer heat. The ride is expensive but worth it, specially with kids. Beware of baggage carriers outside the train station, they seem to be affiliated with the boat taxi service but are not and will charge you 15 euros to take your bags for the 10m walk to the taxi. This is definitely a trap!!!

          Perfect family private boat tour
          We had a wonderful experience with our Grand Canal and Murano and Burano boat tour. We really enjoyed getting to ride down the Grand Canal and both islands. It was the perfect amount of time. Our guide was awesome and catered to us and our kids. She took us to a gelato store in Burano and let us use umbrellas when it was raining. Highly recommend this tour and the tour company was great to work with!

        Our photographer Mauro gave us a right click, what we wanted. We shared our thoughts and he captured in the right way. Silvia proves to be our right guide, her company and experience were outstanding. Thanks, guys for making our trip so valuable.

        My husband and I visited Venice in July and we love the city!!! We booked the private Gondola ride with the photography session. We were met at our hotel "Concordia" by our guide, Giordana Losi and her photographer friend Marco. They were prompt and right on time. We proceeded first to the Gondola ride which was a great time and very enjoyable. Marco captured really memorable images while we were riding along. After the ride, we proceeded to travel around many of the canals for various photo opportunities. The best surprise was when Giordana took us to a Venetian mask workshop. The shop owner promptly began putting masks on us while Marco shot photos. Soon we were decked out in complete costumes and we proceeded to go out on a nearby bridge to capture the look. We attracted quite a bit of attention and soon were in the middle of a paparazzi worthy photo event. After the mask workshop, we continued around the city for other spectacular spots for shots. It was an incredible experience and one that should be booked for unbelievable memories.

        This was the first time i decided to do a photo shoot and this was the best decision i made on any of umpteen trips. We were in touch with the company way before the shoot to discuss the weather issues since it was raining on most of the days and i was booked up for another tour from the same company. Just a day before the shoot i was informed of the bad weather and we were allowed to reschedule to the next day which was a beautiful sunny day and do another tour after this . Marco Gaggio our photographer and tour guide was a delight and he was so accommodating with answers to all our history questions about Venice and it was just not a photo shoot alone but also a short tour of Venice too. I highly recommend this tour especially the Gondola ride . Boarding at a private place and we have the gondola all to our selves. To make the photo shoot even better we had Venice to our selves especially St Marks square.

        OK, so this photo shoot was my idea and my husband just politely went along with my plan. After seeing the final photos, we were both so thankful that we had opted for this experience to capture this special trip to Italy in celebration of our 22nd wedding anniversary. These photos really capture our love for one another and the photographer's vision in each setting just takes my breath away. Venice provides the perfect backdrop that add the wow factor to each and every photo. Our photographer knew exactly where to take us and created a narrative for each and every pose. The gondola ride was really special for me and having these photos to look back on for years to come is exactly the perfect souvenir for us. Thanks for sharing your talents with us and preserving our memories of this trip. I highly recommend this experience! It was certainly one of my favorites!

        This was a great way to capture our honeymoon in Venice, and to get to see and learn about this beautiful place! Our photos are beyond beautiful and we had a great time! We spent 4 weeks in Europe, I wish we could of have a professional photographer with us the whole time! We can’t wait to come back to Venice, and we will definitely use them to capture the memories! Thank you again!

        Our photoshoot with Marco was a magical experience in Venice that we will never forget. Our photographer met us at our hotel and brought us on a mini tour of Venice. Along the way he photographed us in staged poses and in our natural element. We went to the main areas like St. Marks but also found the quiet corners for really interesting shots. In such a crowded place like Venice the camera really let us feel alone. The Gondola ride was perfect and capped off the photoshoot perfectly. The price (for two hours of professional photography plus a Gondola ride) is unbelievably competitive. One tip to improve the experience - make sure that you call after you book to make sure the time and starting location is confirmed.

        I planned a trip to Venice knowing I intended to use the occasion to propose to my now-fiancee. Just a few days before flying out, I found this offer on TripAdvisor. I was able to book the shoot with just a few days notice and was able to talk to Giordana, who runs the company, over the phone. She gave me great advice on how to make things go smoothly and even offered to throw in a bottle of prosecco to celebrate the occasion.

        On the day of, we were met at our hotel by the photographer and an interpreter. We walked around the backstreets of Venice taking photos for about 20 minutes before the gondola arrived. It was the perfect atmosphere for the proposal, and the continued photo shoot afterwards made for beautiful engagement photos. I only wish that the gondola ride was the very first part of the shoot, as I'm sure my fiancee was a little suspicious that I was going to propose when we began taking scenic photos around Venice. However, the photos and memories will last us a lifetime.

        We were told to expect the photos within 7-10 days, but it only took them 5 days to email us the photos. They were professionally retouched and turned out great.

        Thank you so much Marco. We had a really great day, and we love the photos! There are some really nice ones, and the light is fantastic too. You make us look so good!

        The photoshoot in Venice has been a highlight of our trip,  and a lovely memento of our 33rd wedding anniversary.

        The tour guide and photographer were outstanding. They worked with our schedule and worked to capture everything we wanted in the photo shoot. After about 10 days traveling through Italy from Milan to Pompeii, this had to be our favorite experience. Thanks!
