Venice Tours

Highly recommend this tour package for those who wish to explore the beautiful Dolomites as a daytrip from Venice. Our tour guide, Chiara was friendly and great. She ensured that the itinerary was fulfilled in a timely manner and provided interesting background for each site we visited. In total, the entire tour lasted from 8am-6.30pm including the commute to the sites which can be challenging but our bus driver, Sergei did an amazing job maneuvering the pathway without making anyone sick and loved the relaxing playlist!

We had an amazing day exploring the Dolomites! The weather was absolutely perfect, and the sunshine falling over the majestic mountains and beautiful lakes made the scenery even more breathtaking. Our driver and guide, Marco, was incredibly friendly and showed us so many beautiful photo spots along the way. His interesting explanations and thoughtful guidance made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The tour was organized by City Wonders, a local tourist company. The meeting point is clear and easy to find. They sent you email and WhatsApp messages. The tour guide, Phillopo, also a local Venice man, took us to both venues. He was really informative and humorous to follow. The tour is definitely recommended.

Meeting point was easy to find. Carlos drove very safely and was meticulous in checking in with everyone in the group. Scenery is beautiful and worth the journey.

We booked a day trip from Milan to Venice and overall it was a very good experience. The tour was well organised and easy to follow, making it a convenient way to see Venice within a limited timeframe. As expected with a day trip, time in Venice was quite limited, so the visit felt a bit rushed. However, we still managed to explore key areas and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the city. There was also some free time to browse and shop in the small traditional shop houses, which added a nice local touch to the experience. It is advisable to carry cash when visiting, as some of the smaller shops may not accept card payments. Overall, a worthwhile and enjoyable tour, especially for travellers short on time.

It was basically a self-guided walk after the glass-making demonstration. It wasn't as lively as I had expected, and you can tell that both towns are slowly declining as these traditional artisan industries struggle to survive. In fact, very few young people want to learn these crafts anymore because the work requires years of dedication. In Burano, only about 20 women are said to still possess the traditional lace-making skills. Despite that, the museum is well worth a visit, as it provides valuable insight into the history of Venetian craftsmanship and helps you appreciate these remarkable artistic traditions.

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.

Very good experience. Highly recommended. Our tour guide, Frederica, was really nice and knowledgeable. We had ample time to ourselves. After the must-see activities, were able to explore, eat and shop around.

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.
