Amazing day
The kind of thing you still remember years later. The show held our attention throughout, genuinely high standard. We messaged them on WhatsApp with a question and got an answer in minutes. We stayed on walking around Sighs after dinner. Our guide was the highlight: incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer anything. Do not hesitate, book it.

Very good
Happy with it, even if not everything was perfect. The route is well thought out, no backtracking or wasted time. Venecia was the moment of the day. One of the stops was closed that day and nobody mentioned it. Sort those details and it is a ten.

Solid choice
Good value for money. The only In English For The Highest Quality is a smart touch. The guide spoke very fast and it was easy to lose the thread. It dragged a little through the middle section. Worth it, knowing the above.

Highlight of the trip
We picked it from the photos and it was even better in person. We paid noticeably less than other options and the experience was just as good. Grandes Conselhos ended up in all our photos. A printed map was missing, everything relied on the phone.

Pleasantly surprised. Our flight was delayed and the driver waited anyway, no extra charge. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Venecia.

Came away with a good impression. Sighs justifies the early start. The guide spoke very fast and it was easy to lose the thread. Punctual and smooth, no hiccups. It was very windy the day we went, which cut one stop short. A good option, especially on a first visit.
