Venedig stadsturer

Det bästa var guiden. Det var punktlighet, båten var mycket bra även om den är uppdelad i två delar och en av dem har en stark lukt av bränsle. I Murano lägger man till vid kajen till ett glasbruk där man får förklaringar om produktionen och sedan har man väldigt lite tid på sig att lära känna Murano. Jag tyckte inte om Murano men jag ville köpa några saker men det fanns väldigt lite tid. Burano var trevligare och jag gillade det faktum att guiden inte tvingade oss att besöka spetsfabriken dit de flesta i gruppen åkte.

Trots regnet är öarna Murano och Burano väl värda ett besök. Vår guide Cecile var mycket vänlig och tillgänglig för att svara på våra frågor.

Il Tour, ben organizzato, consente di visitare le principali attrazioni di Venezia in un giorno. Guide turistiche molto preparate. Consigliato!

Giovana was the loveliest guide you could wish for. Her excitement, despite having likely done hundreds of these tours, was contagious. She paid great attention to detail while also ensuring that every person in the group felt included. The equipment quality was excellent, with clear audio throughout the tour. Giovana provided just the right balance of historical context and insights into current life and events. We loved every moment. Our gondolier was also praiseworthy. Despite being a young man, he was knowledgeable without being overbearing. Although we can’t recall his name, the boat was called ‘Luca,’ and he was stepping in for his father. A delightful experience with a charming young man.

The Tour Guy was the company we should have booked with - avoid Headout (a broker). The website on mobile when I booked put the wrong date - the Crowdsite glitch also happened and the site booked the tour time+day AFTER it already happened! HEADOUT REFUSED TO CHANGE IT! Luckily THE TOUR GUY CHANGED IT. AVOID HEADOUT. As for the tour, Venice is such a unique, magical place. Our guide was a lovely local Venetian, a professor-like lady and had tons of information - she was kind and very considerate. She gave us the basics of all we needed to know. I think we might have preferred a guide with more stories and less facts and who was a little more fluent in English - it was often hard to understand everything. Also, try avoid Italy in the summer, the heat is unbearable and we underestimated this. Bring lots of water and a fan or spray mist bottle. Crazy heat! Climate change not doing places like Rome and Venice any favours! The overall experience was the best it could've been, it was good.
