Things to do in Venice

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.

Our Grand Canal Romantic Gondola Ride in Venice was an excellent experience. I enjoyed it so much with my two teenage kids and my husband. We booked the 6:30 pm ride, and the weather was perfect — very scenic and relaxing. Google Maps guided us easily to the meeting point. If you have time, you can walk there, but since we were running late, we took a water taxi. On the way back to the hotel, we walked and enjoyed the evening atmosphere. Highly recommended.

This place is awesome and super easy to get tickets for. The sights are absolutely breathtaking. I only had time to check out the main building, unfortunately. I really hope they start offering tickets just for that part in the future. It would be great to be able to visit again without having to buy a full package.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolute must-do experience in Venice!Booking via Klook made the entire process completely seamless. Finding the designated meeting point was straightforward, and redeeming our mobile voucher took less than two minutes—no haggling or long queues required! Gliding down the quiet, charming side canals and out onto the Grand Canal was magical. Our gondolier was friendly, skillful, and gave us plenty of time to take pictures as we drifted past historic palaces. Tips for future bookers:Arrive 10–15 minutes early: Gives you plenty of time to locate the meeting point hassle-free.Sunset slot: Highly recommend booking the late afternoon/sunset slot for incredible light and photos.Would definitely recommend booking through Klook—it’s much more convenient and cost-effective than arranging it on the spot!

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!

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!
