Venice

Got ourselves a 7-day Global Pass and travelled through 5 countries. Buying the pass was easy but how to use the app for activating the pass will need some time to learn. However, fear not as there are many experienced people out willing to share. Do some readings and join some fb travel groups and you will surprised by the information available. The pass was flexible but the train schedule can be unpredictable which means you need to be updated requently to stay on course of your journey. We only experienced one hicccup on one of the trips at Berlin due to seat reservation issue and missing the connecting train due to delay of the first train. The other trips were as planned.

value for money especially for those who wish to visit Murano and Burano. the tickets can be activated easily from atv machines stationed all over Venice.

Easy to use. I have used the voucher at the exit airport exchange for the paper tickets. Then I went to the line and gave the ticket to them.

Navigating the outdoor bus station was tricky with so many local buses moving around. To avoid getting lost, match your bus to the photo—it really helps. Don’t bring luggage on this one, though! It’s a quick and easy ride to the departure hall, just 15 minutes to Marco Polo Airport.

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!

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.

It's a must book, ferry ride it's self worth it. enjoy 45mnts boat ride to see the unique places. Murano glass has offer, worth to buy & Burano has unique colourful houses and they are big. Many unique Sourvenir

Overall this was a great tour. Good value for money and a nice break from the madness of St Mark's square. The only thing is we'd have liked around 30-60 mins more on Murano as it is a bit of a whistle stop stay - espiecally if you get caught in the glass showroom. Unless you REALLY like glass our tip would be to escape out of the rear doors and see the island. Our guide Isabel was excellent and provided all the important info. Tour ran to exact time and a small tip if you arrive at the meeting point and are unsure which tour to join there will be a guide wearing white polo shirt with a red lion on it. Overall this was great. Would definitely recommend!
