Top Venice Day Trips

Stefania was a wonderful guide on our Dolomites excursion. She gave us such great insights and facts about the region and its history along our journey. She made our journey throughout the day incredible and incredibly easy. This experience has been the highlight of our trip thus far. Can’t say enough great things about her and this trip!

We had some disappointing tours in Rome, but thankfully this one was great. The terrace access was excellent. Our tour guide, Mose, spoke clearly and enthusiastically. He shared interesting information and clearly loved his subject. 3 hour tours are a bit tiring, but this one was worth it!

Giovanni was an amazing guide! I could not recommend him more. He was funny, engaging, and knowledgeable. My kids, who don't usually like tour guides, also loved him. There is always pressure from the glass making factory to buy something, but never any pressure from the guide. If you want to buy something, the quality is outstanding. If not, it is fine to decline.

Excellent tour, Michela our guide was knowledgeable, helpful and polite, highlighted everything from WWII, Mussolini and Napoleon to modern day venician life. I wouldn't recommend if you struggle with bridges as we crossed many, other wise well worth the trip.

Amazing tour! Skipping the lines was great, but our guide Liza (“like Liza Minnelli”) made it unforgettable. She was funny, knowledgeable, and full of great insights about both the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica. One of the best tours we’ve taken in Italy.

Diego was an excellent guide who shared lots of interesting information about the region, Italian culture, and our stops. There were lots of photo stops along the way and he planned the stops around the inclement weather, which allowed us to maximize our experience.

A fun way to notice details of Doge Palace and St. Marks Basilica, a backpacker walk and gondola ride with a scheduled break for lunch that isn't rushed. Our tour guide, Natalia was interesting, told great stories to help you remember facts and lots of "secrets". You would enjoy her!

You don’t have to be a classical music lover to enjoy this trip back in time, through music Traveling for the first time to Italy with friends & family. We thought getting a glimpse of old world Venice through music would be cool and it was. Don’t know anything about classical music but do know a few names of the old composers, Vivaldi is one and seeing how his “The Four Seasons” work is the most famous, and he was from Venice it made sense to go to the performance. We all had a wonderful time and the music was very engaging & lively. I think what really added to the performance, especially if you weren’t a classical music lover, was that the musicians dressed in the costumes of the period. You could imagine yourself in the 18th Century & listening to a concert of Vivaldi. We were looking for something uniquely “Venetian” and this concert fit the bill. Of course it was for “tourists” but it definitely had a different “flavor” other than the regular “tourist” things to do in Venice. We upgraded our tickets to “Skip the Line- Sit in the First Thee Rows”. It was worth it to be right up front. Like I said earlier, no one in our group was a classical music fan but we all enjoy good music whatever the genre. We heard good music & enjoyed the showmanship. It was a great activity and an end to a beautiful day in Venice.
