Amazing and relaxing private tour in Venice

Published on Aug, 2024

Vexperio customer service is amazing . Our tour was cancelled last minute by another company and we only had one day in Venice . Magda from Vexperio made things happen for us in less than 24 hr notice . She contacted guide and drivers and gondoliers for us and our experience was amazing . We were treated like a royalty , driven in a private vehicle from Triest to Venice by Darko and met with our amazing guide Sebastian who showed us around Venice without rushing and at comfortable relaxed path with plenty questions answered . We even stopped for lunch and did gift shopping . And of course private gondola ride was unforgettable experience . When we got back from the tour our driver was waiting for us to take us back to our hotel in Triest . Highly recommend this tour if you have limited time and would want to see and do things efficiently .

Venice in 5 hours

Published on May, 2024

Gondola ride. Rialto bridge. Nice stop for a drink. And of course our wonder guide Claudia I can’t say enough about how wonderful Claudia was. She interacted well with our daughter and son in law but also was aware of my husband’s difficulties with stairs. She really knew Venice and tried to keep us out of crowds as much as possible.

Incredible day in Venice- our guide Natalia took is all around the city and shared so much information. She was wonderful. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The car service picked us up as soon as we got off the ship in Trieste and drove us to Venice. Very easy.
