Excellent
Our tour of Venice with your company was amazing. We did a tour of the vegetable market the fish market, Rialto Bridge area, St. Mark's Basilica, Doges Palace. It was an almost 6 hour tour. Our guide was very friendly and personable. Her name was Ellenana (or something like that) She knew the city well, She recommended a very good restaurant - Rossapomomo that we ate at twice. Excellent pizza! The tour was a highlight of our trip to Venice. We also used your company for a Food tour in Venice and a food tour in Rome. Each tour and tour guide was amazing.

While the See Venice in a Day Tour is a long six hours, it is managed efficiently and provides good breaks. I left this tour with a good appreciation of the sites visited that I probably would not have gleaned by visiting on my own. I really felt that it hit all the important parts of the city and left me satisfied that I had seen Venice. This opened the rest of my time to just explore outside the main tourist areas with the other day and a half of time that I had. While I can't speak for all the tour guides, we had an excellent guide that was a local that felt invested in the history of the city which adds a lot of meaningful flavor to the tour. We felt that the tour was definitely worth the investment of time and cost.

Guide had excellent knowledge/experience. The places we visited were PRIME. In retrospect, I would recommend a cooler time of year ... April vs. June.
