Private Venice Tours

The trip was in a beautifully restored fishing boat - a picture perfect way to spend several hours exploring the other islands. Watching glass blowing on Murano was fascinating, but you do need to be strong to resist the underlying pressure to spend money in the shop afterwards. Burano with its colourful houses was simply stunning and Torcello was so peaceful, it seemed to offer the perfect escape from the pressures of our busy lives. Our guide was charming and unobtrusive - I would definitely recommend this as a great way of exploring the smaller islands.

The views from the canal are unlike anything else in Venice — truly unique.

Fun gondola ride but the guy rowing the gondola did not speak one work and it was advertised as 30 mins was actually 15 mins max very rushed

Private 30-minutes gondola ride was fantastic. Such a magical way to see Venice!

The service and the contents of the gondola were wonderful. There was no waiting time.

An evening Gondola ride is a must do in Venice. It was fabulous to appreciate the grandeur of the Grand Canal and then slip down the quieter canals under the stars. Our Gondalier was fabulous telling us stories and pointing out things we may have missed.

A nice well rounded hour. we started with a mini walking tour, enjoyed the gondola, then had a VR experience on the history of Venice which was cool. Beatrice was great, very friendly and smiley.

Rosalina was a great guide for our Venice tour. She shared so much knowledge and interesting insights about Venice, Venetian culture, and history making the tour very engaging. We also appreciated her recommendations for restaurants and cafes. Our gondolier was also very good - amazing skills he has to keep us within an inch from the canal walls without the gondola touching them. He also sang! This was the quintessential Venice experience without the price tag of a private tour.

Excellent private gondola ride. A bit expensive for 30 minutes despite everything ... but good to do

Really interesting well organised and well informed tour guides i massively recommend if you’re new to venice

Excellent experience

The tour was great. the equipment sometimes didn't work for the guide but she fixed in seconds. well done Valentina. very informative fun tour. loved learning about casanova and seeing where he was born.

We had a very enjoyable and interesting walking tour with Lorenzo. He suggested some areas to spend time in and we chose Castello which we probably would not have done on our own. It was more of a residential area and a very pleasant walk. Lorenzo provided lots of interesting commentary about living in Venice, and also about the Arsenal, which is also in Castello. He also paid attention to our request to take it slow and take breaks as needed. We enjoyed this tour with Lorenzo.

Very nice tour.

The guide teaches us what was happening in each room of the palace, about the Republic of Venice, the little-known French history of the Battle of Lesventes and Napoleon and deciphers the works. Thanks to the headphones you don't miss a beat. On the upper floor of the basilica, outside, she talks to us about present-day Venice and we can ask her questions.

Great visit, clear explanations and very pleasant guide

The tour was excellent - my only recommendation is to bring water with you. It was hot when we walked, and I mean power walked, for two hours. A great way to see the non-touristy side to the city.

My wife dreams to go to VENICE, Hop into a gondola ride. Was she WOW thank you, it was shorted than I expected the ride but all in all worth it again.

It was peaceful and scenic, but I expected a bit more interaction or storytelling.

Our guide was knowledgeable and kind — we learned a lot without it feeling like a lecture.

The motorboat was super comfortable, and the aperitif with local wine made it feel luxurious!

Lorenzo showed us the off-the-beaten path of Venice, showing us a glimpse of real Venetian living. He’s very knowledgeable in his history and took us beyond the crowds and the regular tourist points. It is a very different point of view that we truly appreciated. Such good & lively conversation from the moment he picked us up in our hotel & the drop off to our more touristy activity, the gondola ride :) Grazie Lorenzo!

Loved the smaller canals — so quiet and charming! Perfect for photos.

Gondola ride was very relaxing - could have travelled in it all day!
