Our guide was lovely, with very good English, brilliant knowledge of local history and a friendly attitude. We had a wonderful time, learning about Venetian history, punctuated with 3 gruesome ghost stories. You see all the main tourist sites as well, but through a spookier lense. The group was big enough that we felt like a tour, but not so big that we got lost in it. I would definitely recommend!

All in all a great tour. The guide seemed to enjoy it. She spoke loud and clear, and her stories were very interesting, varying between gruesome urban legends and historical facts. Don't let the title fool you, the tour does not only contain Rialto and St. Marco but (and most importantly) a lot of small streets in between. I can definitely recommend this Tour.

I really enjoyed the Venice legends and ghost tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and spoke very clear and perfect English. I have been on many tours and this was the first time we all had ear pieces so when she spoke, it was easily understood, even in a large crowd. I would highly recommend this tour.

The tours was very nice and you will know more information about secret Vince
