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.

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.

A beautiful RIVA type boat, all in wood, much better than the photo ;-)) The guide was great, full of anecdotes, attentive and discreet at the same time. Seeing Venice from the lagoon and the Grand Canal is an experience in itself, in addition to the interest of the other cities visited. Murano: for its glassmakers Burano: for its pretty colored houses To do ABSOLUTELY !!

Amazing - a must in Venice. The location was easy to find and the gondola ride was fantastic. A very friendly Gondolier. We arrived really early as we were in the area but the Gondoliers said it was no problem and they took us there and then.

We had such an amazing time on our trip. From the moment we stepped on to the boat our guide was fantastic. It was a great history lesson in all thing Venetian and any questions we had were answered. We visited Murano and Burano and our guide ensured we didn’t miss anything at the same time giving us space. Would highly recommend! Thank you so much

The walk was very nice. We liked that it was through small channels, because it is quieter. Our very friendly guide and he was talking about the environment at all times. We liked it a lot . We recommend it

Our guide, Andrea was excellent. The only negative was the line for the women’s restroom was way too long due to a toilet being out of order. Other than that the place was beautiful and the guide very knowledgeable.

Very friendly gondolier who gave us a guided tour through narrow canals with very little traffic. Do not hesitate to wait for him at the start because he may have a delay on the time of the appointment. The restaurant, then, was also very good, with a very friendly owner.
