Morning Venice walk with headsets and stories, mostly outside. See St Mark’s area, Doges’ burial church, and Mercerie for $29.
“The walking tour was a great intro to the city of Venice. It blended the history of how Venice started as a refuge from the Barbarians to it's dominance in global trade in the renaissance era.”
A 4-hour morning boat cruise linking Murano and Burano, with glass and lace demos plus quick time to wander and shop.
“Do not choose the option to be picked up at the Train Station (KFC) as the tour did not return to this location! Guide suggested the 35min walk back. Fortunately, I was familiar with the Vaporetto so could get back to my pick up point. The glass making was great but short... the most time was spent with a sales pitch for the shop. Save your money and walk down the path a bit, same items for half the price! Actual time on the islands is minimal.”
Golden mosaics and terrace views in St. Mark’s Basilica, then a shared classic gondola ride, skip-the-line with guided commentary.
Morning walking tour of Venice plus a short gondola ride, guided in English. See Grand Canal sights and major church highlights.
“This below paragraph is what I wrote to the company (Viator) twice and it’s been 3 days and no reply back from them. “Hi I paid $101.13 for this tour: Morning Walk Tour of Venice plus Gondola Ride. I got the morning walk on Friday, February 16 at 9am, but did not get the gondola ride? Please advise? “ Viator should either reimburse me fully or at the bare minimum pay back some percentage of the cost that I paid since I never got the gondola ride.”

He adapted to my preferred pace and distance so I felt comfortable and was able to see a lot and get a good run in at the start of my day!”
