Reviews Venice Tours
...The best tours we have ever done.
We've just returned and still find ourselves talking about what a wonderful experience we had. We did the Venice in One Glorious day tours as well as the learning to be a gondolier tour (two memorable hours listening to stories from our gracious and insightful master guide) not to mention floating on Venice's lagoon and trying to row like the Venetian gondoliers! We have to recommend this as a great and relaxing way to get out of busy Venice and see it from such a fantastic perspective. It's hard to imagine a better introduction to this wonderful city. Our guides exhibited a wonderful combination of in-depth knowledge of the city and its treasures, a wonderful presence, a sense of humor, a great ability for story-telling, not to mention a wealth of practical suggestions... Throughout our all too brief stay we found ourselves referring to the suggestions made by our wonderful guides; ranging from how to snack Venetian style, to tricky rowing tips, use of perspective, where to find the best Murano glass to ordering a Bellini at Harry's Bar in native Venetian... we will recommend this company to anyone visiting Venice. Thumbs up Artviva!
W. Chambers, Sydney,
The gondola tour was a good bargain for the money and very pleasant.
The gondola ride was off the beaten path and a unique experience made afforable. In planning the trip I thought that the full day tour in Venice would be too much canned itinerary, but in retro spect I would have done another in tour in Vencie as well. My 16 year old thought the gondola ride was a highlight of our trip.
