Excellent tour, poor communication before hand
Gregory_L, Apr 2024
First, It took quite a bit of effort to get the train tickets. Only after talking with a Viator person did I get the train tickets. The tour guide in Venice was great and I'd highly recommend this tour!
Wonderful day
Donald_W, Apr 2024
Everything was excellent. Train very comfortable and on time. Mehmet was waiting for us and we had a wonderful time exploring the city. He hooked us up with a terrific gondola ride. Photos at all the bridges and explored several narrow out of the way streets, fancy shopping areas, St. Marks, etc. We had a wonderful day.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your amazing review, we will be sure to tell Mehmet and hope to see you again in Italy!
Don’t believe the bad reviews
Mark_T, Mar 2024
The two bad reviews had me concerned about this trip. But I’m happy to say that I was extremely surprised at how well everything went. We were picked up at our door and taken to the train station. I was sent the train tickets the day prior and once at the train station, everything was pretty easy to figure out. Note about the trains, they board 10 mins before. The time given is the departing time and they are ON TIME. Make sure you’re standing at your platform at least 10 mins before. We caught the train to Venice and our guide Mehmet met us there. He was fantastic. Not only a good person but a wealth of knowledge and extremely patient with us. Overall I had a great time. and would do it again.

Thank you for your great review! We will be sure to tell Mehmet and we hope to see you again in Italy!
SCAM don’t do it
josephine_w, Mar 2024
Worst experience, don’t spend the money. They say they will send you, your train ticket 7-24 hours before, that’s a lie they send you the same voucher that you get when booking and that’s not your train ticket. Then when you call and email at 6am when your at the tea station downloading the tickets, you find out it’s not the tickets. We didn’t know since we have never been to Italy before, nor have we been on a train before and our vouchers for other excursions were the same. Then when you request a refund- they won’t take accountability for it, which really relfects on the company itself. Do not waiste your money, that you won’t get back. It’s a joke and a scam. But your own train ticket and go to saint marks square it’s so with it on your own. Since that is what we did the next day. We really wish we didn’t spend the money on a scam
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Hello, we already reported this review to Viator as it is defamatory and contains false information. The refund request was rejected because we sent proof that we did send train tickets, otherwise it would have been approved. You must have downloaded the wrong file, it can happen but it is not our responsability. As the other reviews on the product can easily prove, customers always receive train tickets the day before the tour. We also do not have any emails or calls at 6AM like you claim: if you called us, we would have replied and send you again the train tickets but you did not.
Just consider this as 8hrs train ride and 2hrs of guide
Bipinchandra_D, Feb 2024
The tour includes on ly train ticket and effective 2hrs guided tour at venice. Operator charges 4 times the money required for the tour without additional support. The hotel to train station is around 15-20 tax ride. Return train ticket is around 100 euro per person. 2 hrs tour guide. Which you dont even need as he jsut walks around with you but nothing much explaination and on return no drop to hotel. So effectively 140 euro trip is charged at 490 euro. So please avoid this tour and just book the return train ticket and go on yoursefl as you will not be lost on this tinny place.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
We are very sorry to read this review, as it is easily proven to be false. We have proofs that we sent you train tickets fully paid by us, tickets that also have arrival time and departure time: the arrival and departure time can easily prove that our guide provided more than a 2 hours tour. If the guide really did not provide more than a 2 hours tour, why we do not have any calls, mails or messages from you to warn us about this alleged disservice on the day of the tour? Furthermore, it is clearly stated in the product description that we do not provide dropoff service to the hotel at the end of the tour, it was your choice to still book the product even without dropoff service. We also have proof that we did not request any more money out of you, please note that this is a grave accusation and defamation.
Venice the wonderful city
Thaier_A, Feb 2024
Awesome tour, great tour guide and lots of scenery locations. Many thanks to the professional guide and helpful tour management team. Very much appreciated.

Thank you for your review! We will be sure to tell the tour guide, and we hope to see you again in Italy!
Venice is a 'must see' and our tour guide was the best!
PATRICIA_C, Jan 2024
We booked a stress-free private day-tour of Venice from Rome through Viator. It included pick up at our hotel near the Colosseum, train tickets, drop-off at the train station. Our tour guide, Mehmet, was punctually waiting or us at the station in Venice. He was, pleasant, genuine, and had a thorough knowledge of Venice's history, architecture and events, and he was very accommodating to our needs and requests. We were very lucky to have him as a guide.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for your review! We will be sure to tell Mehmet, and we hope to see you again in Italy!
Venice Dec 20 2023
Sasha_S, Dec 2023
Mehmet was very knowledgeable and friendly. My birthday was amazing in Venice. Mehmet took us through all the major streets and gave us the history and current updates on what's going on in the city. We walked over 17 different bridges and got to ride on the boat. Wonderful day trip!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for your review! We will be sure to tell Mehmet, and we hope to see you again in Italy!
A nice experience in Italy.
Agustin_H, Dec 2023
The trip was good, however we had a hard time finding the train on our own.. Probably a little more direction on how to find the train and how the train system work in Rome.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback because it gives us the chance to improve even more. We hope to see you again in Italy!
Venice Walking Tour

Dogan Acar escorted us on a wonderful walking tour of Venice! His knowledge of the history of this special city was an added benefit! Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Feb 2024

Great tour guide Dafne
David_P, Nov 2023
The driver that picked us up at the hotel was very prompt and walked us to our train station area and assured us we would be picked up at the end when we came back. When we got to Venice, our tour guide, Daphne was there waiting for us, and was a pleasure to be with, she treated us like we were family or old friends. I would recommend her for any tour when we arrived back in Rome and came off the train. Our driver was not there and we waited 1/2 hour for him to show up. He didn’t unfortunately, as we were very tired , we were disappointed and had to find a taxi back to our hotel. What is the oil? Otherwise everything was wonderful.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for your review! We will be sure to tell Defne. However, please note that dropoff from station to hotel is not included in the tour you booked. If the driver really did tell you that dropoff was included, it was a mistake on his part and we thank you to bringing this up to our attention so that we can improve our service.
One of my favorite cities!
Arden_C, Oct 2023
Our tour guide, while working on her masters degree, has been living in Venice for four years. She made sure we learned the interesting facts , like there are 420 bridges connecting the 6 regions of Venice. That Mozart lived there as a child, and you can see his house. Many other interesting facts, and made sure we took a gondola ride and went to the top of the bell tower to see a complete 360 degree view of Venice

Thank you for your review! We will be sure to tell the tour guide, and we hope to see you again in Italy!
Great trip!
Gloria_H, Oct 2023
We had a great guide, so personable. A lot of walking but we saw everything we expected and we had a gondola ride in addition. Weather was perfect. She guided us back to the train station in time. The churches and cathedrals were awesome.

Best guide! Beautiful city.
Phylis_S, Oct 2023
Our guide, Defne, was wonderful!! She took the time to understand what we were interested in and helped us have the best experience we could have imagined. Ask for her.
must see
linda_F, Aug 2023
seeing the city for 1st time. You don’t want to miss, bring history to life. . Too many people. Took gondola experience
Rookie guide
Julie_R, Aug 2023
Unfortunately we didn't enjoy our tour as our guide was a 22 yo young student, who spoke hard to understand english. We were given no real history because quite honestly I don't think he knew any. He was on his phone the entire time, and even took some wrong turns getting around. He was a super sweet kid, and very polite and nice. He just didn't know how to be a good guide
Poorly guidance to the train station
Charles_V, Jul 2023
Do not provide edequate guidance for getting the train ticket at the train station. Lucky we came 40 min early and asked around to get ticket
High Speed Train Trip from Rome to Venice
Denise_F, Jul 2023
We had a fantastic time on this tour! We had a private transfer pick us up at our hotel in Rome and take us to the train station. Our private guide, Mehmet, met us at the train station in Venice and showed us all around Venice, pointing things out to us along the way and answering any questions we had. He directed us to some good restaurants and took us to a glass shop for souvenirs. We loved this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a quick overview of Venice. Now we would like to go back and spend some good, quality time in Venice!
Mehmet was a great guide....
Shawn_N, Jun 2023
Mehmet was a great guide. There is no driver from the train station back to your hotel. Be prepared for that.
