What are people saying about Venice

Venice Private Walking Tour with a Local

Darryl_D, Jul 2026

Our guide was a local...

Our guide was a local college student who wasn't a Venetian native, but was still very familiar with the area and could share stories and insights into the sites. He helped accommodate my elderly mother quite well, and we were able to enjoy our own pace around the city. Overall a very nice experience!

Small-Group Walking Tour of the Jewish Ghetto in Venice

Margie_G, Jul 2026

Lucia was an amazing tour...

Lucia was an amazing tour guide! She is so engaging, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about explaining the history and stories of the Venice Jewish community. The small group size made it feel very personal and questions were encouraged and thoughtfully answered.

Venice Islands: Murano Glass & Burano Colors-Guided Visit

Gill_G, Jul 2026

Great trip

Great trip with a wonderful guide who was lovely. Full of knowledge and friendly. Good pace and kept you interested. Great value for money. The only downside was there wasn’t much information on the pick up point, where to go only the area so we had to ask around so could have missed it! A proper desk or point to go would have been better

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

Christa_G, Jun 2026

Request Eleonora as your guide!

Definitely request Eleonora for your tour guide! She was amazing! My husband and I did a private tour with Eleonora. She met us at our hotel lobby and we departed in a private water taxi. She was sooooo informative about Venice as well as the surrounding islands. We learned so much and were so grateful for all of the information. Our private tour of a glass factory was captivating, despite being quite hot (heat wave in June). Burano was beautiful too. It was nice to have a private water taxi take us around for the tour. We highly recommend doing this tour, especially with Eleonora, as you will learn way more about Venice and the islands versus doing any other type of tour while in Venice!

From Venice: Prosecco Wine Region Tour with 2 Tastings

Angela_O, Jun 2026

Amazing wine tour

We had an amazing introduction of Prosecco DOCG! Vanessa was amazing! She gave us great history of Venice and Veneto area! This tour is serious about wine which is what we look for, we visited 2 wineries in VALDOBBIADENE and CONEGLIANO, talk with business owners, walk through vineyards and production areas, then taste wines with different produce methods! We learn so much and are very happy to know a bit more about DOCG! Vanessa also drove us through the hill, very beautiful! Highly recommended!

Venice Must See Attractions Walking Tour With A Guide

Melodie_C, Jun 2026

Venice highlights & hidden gems

Zahra was a wonderful guide for our 3hr walking tour of Venice, showing us some of the main highlights of the city and surprised us with some hidden gems! She delighted us with a special bookstore and an authentic carnival mask shop that had us feeling like we were stepping back in time. We really appreciated the time we spent with her and she made sure we stayed hydrated in the 30+C heat. Highly recommend this experience if you are looking for a more “off the beaten path” tour of Venice.

Private tour on Murano Island: discover the art of Artisanal Glassblowing

gloverandrea, Jun 2026

Fantastic Custom Tour

Elisabete was a wonderful tour guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable, kind and thoughtful. It was just our family of 3, so it was private and intimate. After the glass blowing demonstration we visited the factory showrooms. Then went into a church and went to the lighthouse. We stopped at a few shops before getting back on the water taxi. We truly enjoyed our visit to Murano.

Venice Walking Tour with Jahdi

Had a great introductory tour with Jahdi (Jade) who provided a walking tour through Venice, commencing at the University district, in the west of the city, winding our way through lesser known parts to the main sites. Jahdi had great communication skills, and provided us with excellent information, including the history of the city, how the buildings floated on the clay foundations, the water and sanitary challenges, and the political landscape of Venice- really brought the city and its beautiful architecture to life, would thoroughly recommend this trip to any visitors.

Venice in A Day: St Mark's Basilica, Doge's Palace & Gondola Ride

Marianne_M, Jun 2026

A concise and thorough highlight tour

Our tour guide did a wonderful job of guiding us through the crowds and explaining the many historic highlights along the way. We got to bypass the line for the gondola ride so it was an efficient use of our time. He offered to take photos of us in front of the significant parts such as the Rialto Bridge. There is a lunch break in the middle of the day and we went to the pizza restaurant he recommended which was a great choice! Would recommend for a great overview of Venice.

Rialto Market Food and Wine Lunchtime Tour of Venice

Leslie_S, May 2026

A delicious and fun way to spend a morning in Venice.

Wandering the Rialto Market with a knowledgeable guide, sampling fantastic local food and wine along the way, was the perfect introduction to authentic Venetian cuisine. Everything was fresh, the pours were generous, and we left full and happy with great recommendations for the rest of our stay. Five of us went and everyone loved it.

Venice 3,5 hrs tour: Doge's Palace, St Mark's and Hidden Gems

Ira_G, Oct 2025

Great tour because of a great tour guide

It started off a little unexpected. It was because there was a strike and our original tour guide could not make it today. I do not know how my original tour guide would have been but their replacement was excellent. We basically spent the day with him and he was absolutely terrific. We enjoyed the tour, he was funny, and very knowledgeable.
