Things to do in Peggy Guggenheim Museum

beautiful space and incredible collection. it’s a must fir art lovers ans provides a quiet respite from the crowds

Greeted by the uniformed staff friendly once arrived at the meeting point. everything was smooth. We had a VR introduction on the Gondola history before taking a short walk to the pier. The Gondola experience was great that we got the chance to tour around Venice slowly on the boat. The price on Klook is very reasonable when comparing to onsite appointment. Highly recommended!

We rushed to the ferry terminal just before departure and managed to buy the Klook tickets in time. Luckily, we made it! It was 90 euros for two people at the site, but buying through Klook was cheaper than at the counter. It's definitely worth purchasing and experiencing; it's truly a once-in-a-lifetime ride.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

After meeting at the tour office, we received our tickets and headphones. Our English-speaking guide then led us on a walk to St. Mark's Basilica, explaining both its exterior and interior architecture. St. Mark's Basilica is incredibly beautiful inside, and a visit to the interior is an absolute must!
