Great Tour

Amazing day trip into the Dolomites.

This experience was amazing. Stephania was extremely knowledgable about the entire region and was an excellent driver. We loved that it was only 8 people in our van and we felt like it was a private tour. She showed us many beautiful sites, shared interesting stories and gave us a great history of the Dolomites. Highly recommend this trip with Stephania.

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.

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!

Sitting in the front row is highly recommended for the best experience.
