'Mr'
Tour
Half-day excursion to Murano, Burano and Torcello Islands from St. Mark's Square
Stupenda gita in barca, è valsa la pena. Penso que a Primavera sarebbe più bella ancora

'secret venice and Gondolar Tour'
Tour
Secret Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride
The Tour was taken by an extremely education and hilarious young man. He was information, witty and engaging. We learned many facts that are not in the guide book all with a pinch of humour. The Gondolar ride was albeit short and sweet but more than made up for by the banter and hilarity.
Strengths
Brilliant Guide who had us laughing from start to finish
Weaknesses
Gondola ride was short and sweet

'Skip The Line: St Mark's Basilica and Doge's Palace Tours - Venice'
Tour
Skip The Line: St Mark's Basilica and Doge's Palace Tours
The tour was great! "Skip-the-line" not so much
Strengths
Very nice tour with significantly reduced line-wait time.
Weaknesses
There was still a significant wait in line (for other "skip-the-line" tours). It was hard to figure out which of the many tours meeting at the same place we were to join.

'Very special'
Tour
St. Mark's Cathedral and its Treasures (Skip The Line Guided Tour)
We wanted to see the cathedral and I always want to go behind the scenes; but this was so much more than I expected. The relics and the gold screen are just amazing. The guide was terrific; I couldn't ask for anything more out of this tour.
Strengths
There's so much more to see than what you see on a regular tour!
Weaknesses
website a little confusing

'No Grand Canal Gondola ride'
Tour
Private gondola ride - 30 minutes
Wanted a Gondola ride on the Grand Canal. This was not it. Had to wait for 20 minutes for numerous groups even though we had a reserved time. Trip was only on small waterways so not much to see
Strengths
Gondolier was very professional
Weaknesses
Specifically asked if we would travel on the Grand Canal I was told yes. But only traveled on small back waterways
Reply by venetoinside.com Staff
Dear jmg591,
Thank you for your Feedback.
We would like to inform you that the private gondola ride does not cross the Grand Canal in direction to Rialto Bridge, hence the gondolier cannot change the route. As a matter of fact, the description of the tour specifies that the gondolier will ' leave the crowds and traffic of the Grand Canal in order to dedicate time for the less travelled areas'.
We are sorry you did not see this important information.
Best regards,The venetoinside.com staff

'Good trip....... but'
Tour
Half-day excursion to Murano and Burano Islands from Venice Train Station or St. Mark’s Area
Boat was very overcrowded on each journey I guess the trip was overbooked. We did not have enough time at Burano and Murano (50minutes each) and that was without seeing the glass blowing and lacemaking
Strengths
Friendly and informed staff beautiful locations
Weaknesses
Massively overbooked left many standing or sitting by the open doors throughout the journey this was dangerous on such a small boat
Reply by venetoinside.com Staff
Dear Arnie,
thank you for your feedback.
the boat cannot accommodate more people than expected, so we assure you that it is not a case of an overbooked boat. However, we kindly ask you to tell us more about that writing us an email to info@insidecom.it, so then we can better investigate what happened.
Thank you

Dear Pete,
thank you for your feedback.
Best regards,During the high season period, Venice is very crowded so we can understand that sometimes it could be hard to find the tour guide, but please consider that in the voucher details there is the tour guide description and there is also our emergency phone number to contact in case of need.
