Our tour guide Chiara was very knowledgeable on the history of the city and gave great recommendations on where to go after the tour. We enjoyed the tour greatly and the gondola ride was a nice touch after the walking tour. I highly recommend this tour for an introduction to Venice. .

From the start of this tour our guide, Mosé, engaged us with information in a way that made Venice come alive. He answered all questions and added humor to the tour. Devour Tours was an excellent company to book a tour with. Their communication with reminders was excellent. Having check in staff who were different from our guide made the check in smooth. We were given listening devices that made hearing our guide clear and easy. I would highly recommend this tour and tour company when you begin your time in Venice. I also want to thank Mosé for a wonderful introduction to Venice. Oh, the gondola ride was fun and made so easy as it was all set up for us at the end of the tour!
