Two great classics of Venice combined in a unique, enchanting experience: a walking tour to discover some of the lesser-known corners of the city and a poetical gondola ride along the Grand Canal and some minor canals. During the walking part of the tour, admire the facades of La Fenice Theatre, the elegant spiral staircase of Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo and the Rialto area, the oldest part of Venice. Then, on the gondola ride, let the gondolier accompany you through the calm lulling waters, while admiring the city from a different perspective. Through this tour you’ll perceive the magical part that lies in some unusual areas of Venice!

Took a Gondola ride with 4 others along the back waterways of Venice which was magical. Then had a guided tour to places tourists don’t visit and learnt so much about the city. Guide was excellent.

This is a great experience and so glad we took the option with the walking tour and not just the Gondola Ride. Our walking guide was a true Venetian, very knowledgeable and i learned a great deal about Venice and it's history. Our Gondola guide also provided some local knowledge even thought he didn't have to. A great experience and well worth the money.

We had a lovely guide, but I would not recommend anyone pay for a walking tour of venice. It was slow and I could've done this on my own. Gondola ride was ok, wouldn't recommend a group one. Get a boat tour. This was very disappointing.

Only good part of the tour was the gondola ride.Meeting point was chaotic, long wait for gondola ride, gondola ride very fun. Tour guide not engaging, personable or eager to share knowledge related to subject matter. To add insult to injury she chastised participants for walking on wrong side.

This tour was okay. The gondola ride was the highlight and a good value compared to other gondola options on Viator. The walking tour had some interesting info about the city that might not be covered on a more standard tour, but it was sometimes hard to hear and the stops selected were a bit random

This was well organized and we got exactly what was described , my only suggestion would be to keep the group a bit smaller, guide was informative and gondolier ride great

We ran out of time and could not do the walking tour, but the gondola ride was amazing!

We are glad we did this. The only negative was that there was one Spanish speaking guy in a group of maybe 20? So the guide had to repeat everything in Spanish after the English portion. All three of us discovered that we started zoning out while she was doing the Spanish translation and didn't realize some of the time when she switched back to English. So we missed a good chunk of what she was saying. Maybe the three of us have hearing ADD! The gondola ride was terrific.

The tour was in English and then German by one guide - more an 32 people on the tour which meant a lot of hanging around and very slow progress. Didn't help as it was a very cold day so we didn't finish the tour. I think it would have been much better to have two separate guides, one for each language. The size of the group was much too big as we also took a gondola ride, so again, lots of waiting around.

The gondola ride was crowded and tippy. The gondolier spent time checking his phone rather then telling us about anything around us.
The tour was good, but it was cold and long because everything was repeated in English and then German. I thought there were 2 tours not one twice as long.
