Things to do in Venice

You need to arrive at the meeting point very early and wait. There are tour buses from other groups on-site, so be careful to identify the correct one. Each group has about 30 people. The bus ride is quite long, but there are rest stops along the way where you can shop and use the restroom. The tour guide on the bus provides information in English and Spanish, but keeps it concise to allow everyone to rest. After getting off the bus, you need to take a boat into Venice. The tour guide on the boat will point out major buildings. Once in the city, the tour guide separated the group into English and Spanish tours, and showed us a few key locations. After about half an hour, we were given free time. The time spent on the island is about 3 to 4 hours, and we need to gather at 15:50 to leave. The tour guide repeatedly emphasized the importance of being on time, and reiterated the meeting point several times, because they won't wait if you're late, as it's not a private tour. Some people paid extra to take a gondola ride (30 euros), which required them to meet at 14:10. If you want lunch, there's practically no time to explore the city. Overall, I was satisfied with the trip, except for the somewhat long bus ride, but that's unavoidable. I had previously looked at taking the train, which also takes 2.5 hours and costs nearly 1000 HKD round trip, without any guided commentary, so I highly recommend this tour. Next time I have the opportunity to visit Milan, I might take the Cinque Terre tour.

excellent guide and driver. highly highly recommend. weather wasn’t in our favour but we had the best lake views, the best drive, the best lunch halt.

Elly our tour guide was great! very knowledgeable, funny, nice, we all felt comfortable and safe! highly recommended!

Doge’s place is just magnifiscent. the paintings, the architecture, the palace itself screams “power”. it was a beautiful experience.

I loved the experience and it’s worth the ride but the only issue was the location wasn’t clear I think it would be better if they text or put the location in the right way starting point is very confusing

What a fantastic tour! Diana was a wonderful guide, and we enjoyed ourselves so much. We can't wait to book with her again.

The private gondola was absolutely amazing – smooth, quiet, and incredibly comfortable. Having the space to ourselves made the ride feel luxurious and peaceful. The views were stunning, and it was the perfect way to take everything in without the crowds. Definitely worth it for a more personal, relaxing experience!

an architecture of grandeur. one must never miss it when in Venice. The VR experience was also really nice addition!

Elena was a great tour guide and she is Venetian herself. The tour was smooth except you must confirm with the agency about the meeting point. I met up late due to an uncommunicated change in meet up point.
