Enlightening tour! 💡
Abe_K, Dec 2023
Lorenzo was a fantastic tour guide.He opened Venice up to us, and we saw places we had walked past unconsciously in the past in a new light. 💡 Highly recommend this Tour! Exciting/Interesting and frightening history to Venice!
Don't do it.

The local guide was very good. She was delightful. But everything else a joke. LIV, the local company kept moving the tour. They changed the time and then moved the location. How does the local company not know when the gondola's end. Really poor
Great Host. Amazing City.

Walking around Venice at night with a knowledgeable host. Gondola ride at night was really fun. All a different perspective at night.
Okay

We thought this was a ghost tour ON the go dola ride, we were not expecting to walk all over Venice for an hour before getting on gondola.
Fantastic and Fun!

This was such a fun and unique way to hear about the history of Venice while navigating its alleyways and canals. Our tour guide, Lorenzo, was a passionate storyteller, and pulled out all the stops for us. He even helped us make a dinner reservation at a local favorite where the food was excellent and not overpriced.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Ghost Tour and Gondola Ride with Jorge. He was very engaging and passionate about Venice and its rich history. We loved hearing about the dark side of this romantic city. Highly recommend!
Definitely recommend

Francesca was our guide and she was terrific. It was nice to see a lot of Venice in evening when it’s less crowded and temperatures are cooler. It’s not a ghost tour but a nice historical review of Venice. We had a party of 6 and was disappointed not to all fit in the same gondola. Our gondolier was quiet and didn’t speak the whole trip. Our young adult Kids got a young friendly gondolier which made their tour.
Great!

Historical Ghost Tour
Julia_M, Jul 2023
Our tour guide was absolutely wonderful! She thoughtfully answered all our questions and had tons of amazing stories to tell. She was clearly a great storyteller. We could tell she could go on and on about the whole city. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Excellent guide

Sabrina was an excellent guide. Local knowledge was really helpful and also a real enthusiasm to ensure we enjoyed the tour. Definitely worth doing.
Not exactly a Ghost tour, but still a great experience
Brandon_L, Mar 2023
We had a very nice tour, although it wasn’t what we were expecting. We signed up for the “Ghost Tour” expecting scary or supernatural stories. In fairness, upon our initial meeting, our guide, Silvia, did warn us that it wasn’t really a “Ghost Tour,” but more some murder and mysteries. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining and did share a murder and a mystery or two, but we all felt as though the tour description by Viator was a little misleading. The gondola ride was wonderful and Silvia was very interested in personalizing the tour to be sure to show us new sights in his beautiful city.
Unique and fun tour!

Elisa was a charming and passionate guide for this ghost tour of Venice. The gondola ride was a great way to kick off our visit to Venice and we really enjoyed hearing stories of haunted buildings and famous Venetian personalities from the past. In the walking part of the tour Elisa pointed out many unique characteristics of Venice and buildings that we would have never noticed on our own. A bit expensive but we thoroughly enjoyed our tour.
Awesome tour guide

Our guide really took the time to explain everything, especially to my daughter. He was very knowledgeable and personable. Great tour!
