Venice Specials

Guide was easy to find. Tour was great. Guide was really knowledgeable and gave us time to take pics. St Mark's is truly amazing.

Easy to find the group, the tour guide was lovely and engaged with the group well. The tour of the basilica was brief (20mins). We didn't go up to the second level for some reason and stayed on the main level only. Would have been nice if the guide allowed little pauses between areas to just take photographs as it can be hard to get good pictures while also listening and being respectful to the guide giving us information. The second part of the ticket to the doges palace is self guided and was nice to do at our own pace. Don't skip the palace, it's stunning. They have free audio guides available for download, download the app beforehand (MUVE app). They have lists on the app you can download so that you don't have to do it at the locations. Very handy.

Headout allowed us entry on short notice which was appreciated due to limited time available to us. The palace was impressive

A great visit. Unhurried and not too long. Visitor numbers were kept to a level where it did not feel crowded. We loved the water bus rides too.

I bought a 24 hour unlimited pass which was great. I got to see beautiful islands of Murano & Burano, as well as getting to whizz through the stunning Venice landmarks along the water. Would have been improved if I was supplied with a map of the different stops etc, but all in all a great experience and will use again!!

This service was amazing, everything went smoothly and we were grateful as we had just come off 35 hours in transit from Sydney to Venice via Shanghai. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get from Venice airport to the heart of Venice.

Fabulous collection, we'll laid out. I highly recommend buying the short guide, sit in the café and have an Aperol Spritz while you read it. Going to the gallery with your head full of information makes it a great experience.

The Headout gondola cruise starts first with a Virtual Reality presentation covering background history to Venice and gondolas - very good. And caters for those who wear hearing devices! Note you need to turn up at the Headout office. Then it's a short walk to the gondola, seating five. Two of them get the heart-shaped seat - the others have flat seats. Can't change positions once you're onboard (as one tried during our 25-minute trip causing a panicky shout from the gondolier as the boat swayed threateningly!) All in all it was a fabulous experience. (As at our springtime break, getting a gondola ride for two people without booking was typically 90€)
