Ponte di Rialto tours

very thorough and great experience. I was glad to be able to try so many different Venetian specialties like sarde in saor and tramezzini. Drinks are extra but we were able to purchase a spritz of choice at one stop and it ended with gelato. everything was great and we were provided with suggestions if we wanted more to try on our own. I would recommend the tour. Tour guide Dennis was funny and very knowledgeable.

At the meeting point, there were many groups, and I had to ask each one to find mine. I was on the three-island tour, and there were many different tour packages within this group. So, on the way to the second island, it was important to listen carefully for the meeting time for my specific package. If I missed it, I could also ask the staff. On the first island, Murano, we watched glassblowing demonstrations and could also buy glass crafts. The second island was Burano, where we had lunch and took photos with the colorful houses. The third island, Torcello, was very peaceful. There was enough time to explore each island without feeling rushed. The tour guide on the boat was very diligent in explaining things, but unfortunately, the boat's noise was too loud, so it was hard to hear. There were also two different disembarkation points on the return trip, which required special attention.

Overall, there are no major drawbacks. Buying a gondola ride here is cheaper than just hailing one on the street, which costs 90 euros per ride. If you just want to experience it, this option is more cost-effective.
