Our tour was two parts: Doge's Palace and a private boat ride to Murano. The Doge's Palace was so interesting, well worth it, and our Guide, Fillipo was fantastic. He was really well versed in Venice's history and injected good humour. After we took a private boat to Murano with a different guide, Alessia, which was nice but at the glass blowing factory, we had to wait to get in and then we had a very, very short glass blowing demonstration and were then escorted upstairs to look at very expensive glasswork to buy. We had very little time left over to check out much else on the island, save for a short time to look in some gift shops and then were taken back on the boat. We had hoped for more time on Murano to look around and the demonstration was really short.

Enjoyed our tour guide's expert knowledge. i think the tour was probably 20-25 minutes too long in the Doge's palace; but all in all, was a good experience and would recommend!

My wife and I loved the VIP Venice Boat Tour with Grand Canal. Our guide was fantastic and amiable. She gave us unique insights into the various neighborhoods/sections of Venice, historical storytelling, and current event gossip (Bezos hosted his wedding in Venice three weeks earlier). She was a local and had great food and event recommendations. The boat was nice, and the weather was perfect (not sure if Walks can take credit for that). The only drawback, and the reasons I subtracted the star is their hardware. The headphones sucked, they cut out often, and we would lose reception often. Thankfully, I was sitting next to her, and I just decided to lose the earpiece all together. Once she moved to the back of the boat - I had to deal with missing large swaths of the conversation. Kind of a bummer - but it's tough to get upset when you're on a boat in arguably one of the most unique cities in Europe and possible the world.

We went on a tour to Italy last year . Pretty much satisfied with everything, there were only two bad-weather days but as for the rest, the organization itself was fairly good,

Pristine Sistine tour was excellent. Would rate it 5 stars. Guide was very knowledgable, English was very good, really enjoyed the experience. The Colosseum tour was just so so. Would rate it 2 to 3 stars. The guide was hard to understand, answers usually confusing or did not answer the question. No able to connect the dots so tour guide was of little value. Would not recommend.

Nice and intelligent people! Good mix of historical and cultural info. Saw the most important sights. Some tours were better than others, but overall excellent. Only critique: For the longer tours, include more walking breaks.

From the outset I have to say that I was extremely lucky to have guides to myself for the Eternity in a Day tour. Cecilia and Camilla were personable, knowledgeable and approachable and very passionate about their Art and History. By the end of the day not only had I learnt a vast amount of information about Rome but I had the pleasure of getting to know two locals who can I say were excellent ambassadors for Rome. Because I had also booked the comprehensive Colosseum tour, Cecilia asked if I wanted to spend a bit more time elsewhere. Of course I said yes and we were able to walk and talk comfortably enjoying all the sites. Then in the afternoon I had the pleasure of Camilla taking me around the Vatican museum. I would highly recommend this tour. I also did the Colosseum tour which was also very good (rain was a bit of a dampener) and I also did the Best of Florence and Uffizi tour with Bernardo in Florence, Bernardo was also very knowledgeable, passionate and easy to talk to.
