    Beautiful Islands
    Great boat trip nice having a ride to the islands loved Murano and Burano and would have wanted more time there and would have preferred not do Torcello.

    Great tour of Venice islands
    Great experience and tour of the beautiful islands of Venice. Perfect length, not too short, not too long. Especially enjoyed the island of Murano.

    Unfortunately, our plane was delayed and Tripadvisor would not help us as it was within 24hours. Will not be booking through them again. Not happy

    Not worth the $
    Real waist of money.. a 20 min around the block in traffic with other gondolas. Take you $ elsewhere. No private tour touch at all.. could have done it without prior booking and for lesser price.

    GetYourGuide Fiasco not to be repeated
    I bought these tickets online & received a ‘ticket’ which could be downloaded to my Apple wallet BUT then found these were not entry tickets and needed to be changed at a location in the square on the day. Despite given directions to find a specific souvenir stand to make the exchange, we found it difficult to locate! Staff at Doge’s could not help us so we walked the entire area in boiling heat, searching and asking several shop assistants until we finally located right over the other side of St Marks Square down a side road…and eventually changed our ‘ticket’ for an actual ‘entry paper ticket’ then having to walk back to Doge’s skip-the-line queue to finally get in. The experience was frustrating and stressful, one we would not repeat. Unfortunately I’d also bought tickets for the Basilica from GetYourGuide and again ‘tickets’ had to be changed but this time by relying on WhatsApp to send the real entry. The entire thing was bizarre and frustrating. We have traveled all over the world and never known anything like it. In future I will buy entry tickets from the venue directly.

    1 hr Venetian mask painting
    This was a great activity! Good one for a family. We choose a mask to paint and spent an hour doing it. I was hoping for a bit more explanation of the art of mask making and examples to help the children do theirs. For the price, an hour was quite quick. If we had 1.5 hrs, I would have chosen a bigger mask and enjoyed it more.

    Terrible experience
    We were quite disappointed when we got to Rome's train station and found our train canceled because of a rail strike which we knew nothing about. We called right away to tell them we were unable to get to Venice and they refused to give us a refund because it was past their 24 hour deadline. Evidently this rail strike was planned and we had no way to know that. Trip advisor/Viator also refused a refund. Please check ahead of time and don't let this happen to you!

    A Golden Duck Venetian Mask was Created
    Painting my Venetian mask was such a fun and relaxing experience on a warm hectic day in Venice. I had a lot of choices of masks to chose from and a large choice of paints to create my own unique mask. A family with young children joined me and it was fun to watch them have just as much fun as I did and for them to be successful in creating a treasured souvenir.

    I would not recommend this tour company.
    I would not recommend this tour company. My family and I arrived 15 minutes early at the meeting site. I asked about 10 people if they were the tour guide for the palace tour. About 5 people said they didn't understand English and 5 said no. I also did not see any sign for the tour. We missed the tour and we were still charged for the tour. I contacted the company for a refunded because it was not my fault I could not find the tour guide.

    Excellent tour with a knowledgeable guide
    We really enjoyed this tour and Sarah our guide was excellent and knowledgeable. It lasted about 3 hours, starting in Doge’s Palace and ending in St Mark’s Basilica. There was time to look around and take photographs with a break for a drink etc.

    Okay experience.
    It was an okay tour. Definitely just a little overrated compared to how they described it. It was less than 1/2 hour and the driver did not interact at all. It also is cheaper if u buy there. I would do once. We had it better in Belgium

    Fabulous experience, great for kids and a really wonderful break from the packed streets of Venice!
    Really fun workshop, kids and adults all loved it, the location is great, lots of masks to choose from and very easy to get going. The lady who helped us was really kind and helped the kids so much. Highly recommend this short of peace and tranquility in beautiful crazy Venice .

    One of the highlights of Venice
    The guide was very good and amusing. He gave the visit structure and I felt we probably gained more than if we had done it on our own.

    Don't Waste Your Money On This Gondola Ride
    This is a complete waste of money. The gondola went into the Grand Canal for about 5 minutes and then turned into a narrow side waterway with nothing but brick buildings on either side to circle back to the starting point. It was over in less than 25 minutes with nothing of interest to see after the gondola left the Grand Canal. I consider it to be a complete tourist rip off.

A nice evening tour, away from the rush and crowds of tourists.
Very informative guide, but some work could be done to improve the storytelling.
Overall a very fun experience with interesting little stories about the hidden corners of the city and a very suggestive atmosphere.
Would recommend if you wish for a peaceful guided walk away from the city center.

Ghost tour is a little bit of a misnomer but that certainly doesn't,t detract from the interest of this particular tour . Our guide Donata? told us many interesting stories relating to the history of the Cannaragia district of Venice and took us to parts of this district which we would have left undiscovered. In this respect we found the Jewish ghetto particularly interesting and Donata was very informative on this area. On her recommendation we went back the following day to visit the Jewish synagogues in the ghetto. Donata's? enthusiasm for her subject came over really clearly on this tour. Doing this tour at night really enhanced the experience and I would definitely recommend it.

- tour guide very professional and informative
- guide more on the history of Venice rather than a ghost or legend tour - definitely worth going on if you like history. Was not as we expected - should really be renamed.
- your ended randomly, as in didn’t circle back to the start and left us a bit confused where we were
- the audio sets used for your really efficient
-Great for sight seeing in Venice

More a legend tour than ghost tour Unfortunately our guide was very monotone and spoke so softly I could hardly hear him. Not a good storyteller at all so tour became boring. Was english speaking tour and his english was not good so tended to lose clarity in the translation--not good when telling stories. Would not recommend. My two teens left early because got so bored.

Not very spooky but a very informative and agreeable walking tour on an afternoon; good for passing time especially when one is visiting by oneself.
