Venezia Byturer

Det beste var guiden. Det var punktlighet, båten var veldig bra selv om den er delt i to deler og en av dem har en sterk lukt av drivstoff. I Murano legger du til ved kaien til en glassfabrikk der de gir deg forklaringer om produksjonen, og så har du veldig lite tid til å bli kjent med Murano. Jeg likte ikke Murano, men jeg hadde lyst til å kjøpe et par ting, men det var veldig lite tid. Burano var hyggeligere, og jeg likte at guiden ikke tvang oss til å besøke kniplingsfabrikken der de fleste i gruppen gikk.

Til tross for regnet er øyene Murano og Burano vel verdt et besøk. Guiden vår, Cecile, var veldig vennlig og tilgjengelig for å svare på spørsmålene våre.

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.
