Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Minu met my wife and I, and my buddy and his girl friend last Friday 10-14-2016 for a walking and Water Taxi Tour of Venice. We had to alter our tour slightly as it was a double high tide and if we did not do the water taxi tour 1st the taxi would not fit under the bridge. After our first stop to buy boots to cover our shoes as the rain and high tide caused the streets to flood we visited the Jewish Ghetto. Minu was extremely knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. Once we were back in the water Taxi again and on the Grand Canal my buddy asked me to video him, and he handed me his phone. I thought this is strange as it was raining out and we were taking the Taxi to our next stop. Next thing I know he pulled out a ring box and was proposing to his girlfriend! I videoed the entire thing. Minu was speechless, as no one had ever proposed on a tour with her before. Pretty neat. Well we finished our walking tour in 1-2 feet deep water in St. Marks Church. A day to remember. Fernando arranged the tour and he was very professional and the tour went seamlessly. (except for the rain and floods) Minu even called me the night before to tell me about the double high tide and the rain and asked if we wanted to proceed with the tour. Very professional and I highly recommend her and Fernando.

My wife, son (11 years old) and I took a half day boat and walking tour with Minu that was absolutely wonderful. Minu spoke perfect english and was extremely sensitive to refining the itinerary and speed of the tour based on my families energy level and our interests. I highly recommend Minu for anyone that wants a very detailed yet completely comfortable tour tailored to your tastes. Additionally, Fernando made it very easy to set up the tour itself, explaining our options and accomodating a last minute change due to a missed flight connection. The overall experience was amazing!

Wonderful! I found the Your Tours in Venice attraction combing through the plethora of sites on Trip Advisor, and the previous reviews were spot on. Fernando responded to my message regarding availability and pricing within an hour. From the moment of initial contact, to the making the reservation, to friendly reminders regarding the tour attire (long pants and covered shoulders to enter St Mark's), to meeting us at our hotel, Fernando was amazing. We requested a last minute change in itinerary plans, and Fernando was completely amenable. The 50-minute boat tour of the Venetian waterways and 3-hour interactive walking tour through both the less touristy and very touristy parts of Venice with such a knowledgeable and passionate guide was a terrific experience for my entire family. Even my 13 and 15 year old kids were captivated, and that's not an easy task. (Note: their cell phones were NOT held hostage during this tour.) Highly, highly recommended and well worth the price. You can't this level of personalized attention elsewhere. Thank you Fernando.

We had two wonderful private tours with Your Tours in Venice - one day with Minu and one day with Fernando. They are both amazingly well informed, articulate, and passionate about their love of Venice. No request was too great or too small. When we were running late for one of our tours it was no problem, we just arranged to meet later. When my mother in law couldn't walk as fast or as far as we were originally intending, it was no problem and Fernando adjusted on the spot for a different, more nearby tour. Every single request was met with flexibility and a smile.
You just can't go wrong with YTIV and I recommend them wholeheartedly!

Alessandra took good care of our group and its special needs. She organised most part on boat because my mother could not walk much. She is a Venetian and told us how it is like living in Venice. She even refunded us part of payment as we didn't use the schedule time fully. This is rare. I wish all the best to her and the group.

Our family of three ( my son is 15) had a fabulous two-day tour around Venice with Fernando (29.6.15 & 30.6.15). Fernando was very informative, organised, patient, punctual, and knowledgable. Whether by foot or by boat, we got to know very well all the famous landmarks as well as many off-the-beaten-track places that were truly Venetian! He recommended wonderful restaurants, shows and local events which we all enjoyed greatly. Knowing I was interested in Venice's Mask Festival, Fernando took the initiative to compile and emailed me past festival photos he took. My family and I would highly recommend Fernando! Thanks again, Fernando, for making our trip in Venice incredible. You are a great guide for sure!

Fernando gave us a really informed and interesting tour of these venues, arranging our tickets, and front of queue passes. The tour lasted 3 hours and he kept all of us, including our boys (aged 13 and 11) fully engaged throughout.
Thanks for a great tour Fernando.

We visited Murano, Torcello, Burano and the Grand Canal by boat. Our guide Fernando met us at our hotel and was immediately engaging and helping us understand the nuances of Venice. We enjoyed the glass factory tour (and bought some REAL Murano glass). The history of Torcello and the church with its mosaics was fascinating. Our lunch on Burano at an outside cafe was a great way to just relax and chat with Fernando. Fernando gave us some great recommendations for dinners that were where the Venetians go for good food that's not too expensive. All in all, when we go back to Venice we will book with Your Tours again and we will ask for Fernando as we suggest anyone else do as well.

Your Tours in Venice was a great way for us to see beautiful Venice. Everything was perfect, from the initial contact with Fernando, to the tour itself with Minu. Fernando was so helpful in suggesting an itinerary that would accommodate some walking limitations of one in our party. Minu was so enthusiastic about showing us Venice from an insiders viewpoint. She even bought us a map and marked some of her favorite restaurants. She was very engaging, and loved to answer questions we might have. The boat tour was very relaxing and informative. I would recommend Fernando to anyone visiting Venice!

We would recommend Fernando when you visit Venice. He gave us an amazing tour of the city. The highlights, as well as the quieter parts that we would never have found on our own. Our first hour of the 3 hour tour was by boat, which was a wonderful way to view the city. Fernando is very knowledgable and and informative and has a great sense of humor.
Thank you Fernando for making our time in Venice memorable!
