Tour of The Real Hidden Venice

Jackie_A, Sep 2026

I learned so much about...

I learned so much about Venetian history. The guide was personable and knowledgeable. This tour was perfect for me because I wanted to stay on the quiet side of Venice. I’ve done the insanity of the St. Mark’s side of the city before and intentionally avoided it on this trip.

Venice: St.Mark's Basilica & Doge's Palace Tour with Tickets

Helen_L, Sep 2026

Very friendly and...

Very friendly and informative guide took us round the Doges palace and then the Basilica. We found this a great way to see these two big sights without getting bogged down and spending all day in one place. This really is skip the queue. Each attraction has a side entrance for pre-booked groups. This tour also includes a ticket to the Correr museum in St Marks square. It is up to you if you use the ticket, it is not guided. We found it to be very interesting and it had a decent cafe and toilets.

Informative and Fun 2 Hours at Dodges Palace and St. Marks. Great Tour Guide

This tour was outstanding for my wife and I. Easy check in at a convenient location in Venice. The earphone technology was good, but what made it special was our Tour Guide, Rita Tostello. He nickname is ‘Joy’. It starts with her knowledge, but her delivery and personality take the experience over the top. Thanks Rita. Gracie!

A Sparkling Day in the Prosecco Hills from Venice

Jake_A, Sep 2026

We had an amazing time on...

We had an amazing time on the wine tour with Carlo. Communication and organization with train tickets was easy. The tour itself was excellent, visiting both a larger, more modern vineyard and a small production one. Lunch was a highlight, very delicious with more wine. We stopped at a few beautiful viewpoints. Carlos was a great guide: good driver, provided lots of information about wine and the area, and was very fun and entertaining. From start to finish, it was a fantastic day and I would highly recommend this tour!

Vernon_K, Sep 2026

Absolutely must-see tour!

What an amazing tour! Our driver and guide, Daniel, was absolutely awesome. He took us to see beautiful landscapes, each one more beautiful than the previous one. He was entertaining the entire time, gave us plenty of free time to roam in Misurina and Cortina, and just, overall, made the trip all the more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the Dolomites while in Venice. Especially if Daniel is your guide. Again, he was amazing and the sites were incredible!

Amazing from start to finish

This experience with Moses was unbelievable. After a rough start to our vacation this couldn’t have been any better. His passion and love for Venice you could feel. He was very nice and would take his time going through each room. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Venice and request Moses if possible.

Small Group Dolomites and Cortina Tour from Venice

Kumar_N, Sep 2026

Dolomites done easy and well

We had a terrific day out. The weather was perfect for all the outdoor activities. Marco our driver and guide was extremely knowledgeable and spoke terrific English. If you are expecting long hikes through the hills.. this is not the tour for you. This delivers you to three good locations to take in the beauty of the Dolomites with minimal walking involved. If the weather is looking overcast, you should take a jacket or pullover. It is much cooler when the sun is hiding.

Venice Lagoon Islands: Murano & Burano Guided Tour

Franziska_C, Aug 2026

Overall great experience...

Overall great experience with a funny and knowledgeable guide (Marta?)! The time allocated for both islands were absolutely sufficient and the recommendations for a nice espresso and tiramisu was more than lovely. I highly recommend doing this tour and spending one day exploring both islands, connecting with locals and get a small (or big ;) gift for friends and family.

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

Jason_S, Aug 2026

The Highlight of Our Venice Vacation

What an absolutely unforgettable experience! Our private Venetian motorboat excursion to Murano and Burano was one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we stepped aboard, the scenic ride through the Venetian Lagoon was breathtaking. Our guide was exceptional, friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the history and culture of Venice, making every moment engaging and memorable. The glass-blowing demonstration in Murano was fascinating. Watching master artisans transform molten glass into beautiful works of art with such precision and skill was truly incredible. Burano was simply magical. The vibrant, colorful homes lining the canals created the most picturesque setting, and every street felt like a postcard. We loved wandering through the charming island, taking in its beauty and unique character. If you’re visiting Venice, I can’t recommend this private excursion enough. The personalized experience, stunning scenery, rich history, and unforgettable stops made for a perfect day. Five stars all around!

Young_H, Jul 2026

It was a wonderful...

It was a wonderful experience. I was a little hesitant about attending the performance because of the heat and the long day, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The variety of music, impressive performances, and the perfect length of the show made it a unique and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Venice. Sitting in the front row is highly recommended for the best experience.

Fantastic day in Venice

Fantastic tour. Marco was a great tour guide. This tour was very comprehensive but also did not feel rushed. We had plenty of time at lunch and felt like we saw all the sites we wanted to see that day. The family walked away very impressed and pleased at the end of the day.
