Venice Cruise Reviews

We opted to take the tour of Burano and Murano and were do glad we did. The water transport took us right by St Marks Square and the bridges we had read about in Venice. However, the charm of the two islands was truly amazing. Multicolored homes, charming bridges, tour of a glass blowing place in Murano and a demonstration of lace making made for an awesome excursion. ...

We spent three additional days in Venice after the cruise. It is a wonderful place to roam, shop, eat and drink. Make sure to do your research before you go and you will have lots of fun finding you way around. One tip, eat where locals eat, try to stay away from the tourist restaurants. ...

Venice is wonderful but you either love it or hate it. I love it. Loved the gondola ride with music, the history, the food. As long as you can ignore the crowds and just go with the flow, it will be great. ...

Venice (Christmas Day) - great city, but still flooded. Very surreal. Very walkable, and since I'd been there previously, we didn't take a shore excursion. Did a gondola ride, a bit expensive but memorable, just COLD. ...

Walked through the city to St. Mark's Square. A little tricky to navigate, but enjoyable day. ...

I enjoyed Venice. I booked my own tours through Viator. I went to Murano and Burano and would recommend this. I also stayed for a day in San Marco which was very nice. Bring tall rubber rain boots or buy the plastic booties the street vendors sell! ...

Arrived and spent a day prior to sailing just touring and seeing the sites on our own. ...

We had the chance to explore Venice before we got on board at Venice. It's a beautiful, decrepit, historic city. We bought a day pass for the public transport (20 Euros) and rode on the front seats of the Vaporettos (the boats that go along the grand canal) to have a good look around. Got off to wander around St Marks Square but didn't have time to tour the Doge's Palace or get into the Cathedral, ...

Amazing place. Words don't do it justice. ...

We just walked around. It is Venice...how can one go wrong! We did enjoy the sun the day before embarkation, as the weather turned gray and rainy. ...
