What are people saying about Venice

Kimberlee_s, Apr 2026

Book this adventure if you enjoy art!

We thoroughly enjoyed our private Murano tour. The boat ride over was smooth, we were met by Andre who showed us the behind the scenes process with the glass master. We toured the shop and selected some beautiful pieces to be shipped back home. Our guide, Camilla, was exceptional. She shared great info about the art, history, culture and pride of the Venetian people.

Small-Group Walking Tour of the Jewish Ghetto in Venice

Sara_W, Apr 2026

A can't miss experience in Venice

This is an exceptional tour and history lesson of the Jewish Community/Ghetto in Venice. Lucia is extremely knowledgeable and engaging. In addition to learning about centuries of history, we stopped at several current businesses and chatted with the owners, including a Jewish bakery and an artist studio. We loved everything about this tour and are still thinking about all that we learned.

Murano Glass Experience With a Visit to a Burano Lace Island

Elizabeth_D, Apr 2026

A must in Venice!

This was such a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this to people who loved going on tours without feeling like a tourist. You are not in giant cattle call of people or walking around with earbuds in your ear and matching bright orange hats like many other tours. The guide was amazing, funny and knowledgeable. The tour consisted of hoping on a boat with 15 people while the guide tells fun stories and you have a glass of prosecco. When you reach Moreno you see a lovely glass with a few pieces then you have an hour to shop and stroll. After you hop back on the boat and head to Burono and you get a similar lace demonstration and then an hour and a half to shop, eat, and take photos. The hide recommended a wonderful lunch spot. After that the boat ride home and more stories. It was such a wonderful experience. The best of all our tours throughout Italy.

Venice Private Walking Tour with a Local

Francesco in Venice

Francesco was amazing. A true local that showed us quickly the BIG places then we went off the beaten path and explored some of the unknown gems of Venice. Two hours went quickly, but we were glad for his time, expertise, spirt and love for the city and sharing it with us. BRAVO!

Private Excursion by Typical Venetian Motorboat to Murano, Burano and Torcello

Blaine_M, Apr 2026

Marvelous island trip....

Marvelous island trip. Make sure to go to Torcello and it’s a good place to eat lunch at a nice restaurant away from the crowds of Burano. Our guide Clementina was 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! The glass blowing tour is ok but ends with a hard sell of expensive handmade glass products.

Venice Must See Attractions Walking Tour With A Guide

ssulangi, Apr 2026

Authentic Venice at its Best

If you want to skip the crowds and see the real Venice, request Zahra. Our 3-hour tour was perfectly paced and full of surprises. Meeting the artists at Ca' del Sol was a unique highlight—the craftsmanship of their masks and costumes is world-class. Between the history, the authentic gelato, and the amazing truffle shop, this was a great experience from start to finish.

Venice Islands: Murano Glass & Burano Colors-Guided Visit

Janna_G, Mar 2026

Beautiful tour! The boat...

Beautiful tour! The boat tour was perfect. The bakery is amazing. Loved the glassblowing demo and 50% at their shop. We also had time to stop for espresso in Murano and for Chicetti on the water in Burano. The tour guide Allegra gave a great suggestion about where to go. In March it was warm in the morning and then a bit cool on the water. Make sure you wear jackets on cooler days.

Rialto Market Food and Wine Lunchtime Tour of Venice

Joe_w, Mar 2026

Lunchtime walking food tour with Tone was the perfect start to our trip

We had an amazing time on this tour! It ended up being just the three of us and our guide, Tone. Sometimes that situation can feel a bit awkward without other guests, but Tone made it incredibly comfortable and it felt like we had our own private tour. He took us to several interesting spots and every portion was a good size and a great introduction into traditional Venetian foods. Each stop also had a taste of wine or spritz. My husband even stepped out of his comfort zone and tried a traditional sardine cicchetti! Along the way, we learned about the history of Venice. Tone was extremely knowledgeable and patiently answered all of our random questions. We finished the tour with some delicious gelato and some great restaurant recommendations for the rest of our stay. Thank you so much, Tone! This was the perfect way to start our trip.

From Venice: Prosecco Wine Region Tour with 2 Tastings

Sue_O, Dec 2025

Such a great experience....

Such a great experience. The first winery is in a stunning location And the wine and food match the location The second winery is quite as picturesque but the warmth and knowledge shared is equally as enjoyable and the accompanying food platter served by Nona is heart warming A real family business based on a quality product We all loved the experience, from my 18 to 24 year old, and we learned a lot about Prosecco and small businesses in 2025

Venice Sightseeing Small Group Walking Tour with a Local Expert

jeffmech, Nov 2025

Learned a lot about this unique city!

Valentina was not only very knowledgeable but also friendly, witty, and above all, patient. She really took the time to get to know all nine of us on the tour (and answered all our questions!), while providing us with lots of fun facts and insights into Venice’s history, geography, and culture, as we weaved our way down streets and alleys, across squares (fields), and over bridges. A great way to spend two-plus hours that takes you beyond seeing just the “must see” landmarks!
