Getting Lost and Loving It.

I had to see Venice just to make sure it really exists. And since I love to go to a place and have time to explore it this city stay gave me what I wanted. How wonderful to get away from cars, sirens and 2am garbage collections. Venice is a place to explore, get lost then get lost again. You can take the optional tours or do what I did and just stay in Venice and walk in a different direction each day. I recommend going out to San Giorgio Maggiore. After you've renewed your self in Pallidio's beautiful church take the elevator to the top of the bell tower for views of all Venice and its lagoon you will not forget. This tour took care of the details of getting from airport to hotel etc. then let me explore Venice the way I wanted. I've booked a return.

Bellissima Venezia

I love to explore when I am in another city. Venice is the perfect place to walk until you get lost, discover a new part of the city, then find your way back again. I visited museums and churches and went to Caffe Florian to people watch. The food in Venice was truly amazing. But, our tour guide made the trip spectacular!

Week in Venice

I loved having plenty of time to see Venice. Lots and shopping and GREAT food. Our tour guide was wonderful and helped us to find the restaurants where the locals eat. Such a beautiful city!

Venice Adventure

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Venice. Walking the crooked and narrow streets was a new experience--as was taking a boat to get from one place to another. In addition, the architecture was fascinating (especially since it has endured ON WATER for so many years). There were museums and churches galore to explore. My favorite day, however, was the trip to the nearby island of Burano, not for the lace made there, but for the array of colorful homes in the village--completely different from anything I'd ever experienced.

My Husband took me to Venice!

Our trip was fantastic! Being taken from and to the Airport through the canals made it even more stress free. Our guide was the best! She taught us how to see Venice by utilizing the "Vaporetti" - water buses, and her knowledge of the history, buildings, art and food was excellent! We want to go back and I know that we will do it with Go Ahead! I can't wait!

wonderful city

l had been here for a day 10 years prior and wanted to spend 1 week here and l really loved it dont want to jump from hotel to hotel to much stress so exactly what l wanted

Venice City Stay

We went the week before Easter. Venice was very, very crowded. First day and half rain. Took scheduled gondola ride in the rain. Advertized tour to Padua was cancelled. That was the one I was looking forward to. Demo of glass blowing was in Venice not on Murano, but, one could go to Murano on one's own. Hotel windows opened on to alley which was busy with loud walkers early mornng and late at night. Room and hotel wing smelled of sewage. Breakfast was average. Room was dark--too close to next building. All these things are what one should expect from a budget priced tour so I am not complaining--just listing what to expect. Guide was quite good. I think the strength of Go Ahead Tours is the guide and and the faultless arrangements of the day tours and selection of local guides. We've used Go Ahead Tours three times and plan to use them again.

FUN trip
