Great Tour
This day trip from Venice was the perfect opportunity to explore the Dolomites for the first time. Our tour guide was kind and knowledgeable. It was great to stop in a couple different mountain villages and see the Olympic sign. Because of this tour, I’d love to return to the Dolomites.

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.

St Marks Basilica and Doges Palace Venice
Not knowing anything about Venice was a great way to start our trip learning about the history of the St Marks Basilica and Doges Palace. Our tour guide was great and Viator was very informative about the details and where to meet. So great to skip the lines and have someone knowledgeable explain the history.

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.

Fabulous tour
It is very interesting and absolutely stunning to see all the art work. There is a lot of climbing stairs so just be ready. Nico was our guide and he was passionate about the art work and he shared much knowledge about the history of Venuce and the art.

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!

It is an amazing package, perfect timing, Alberto, our guide was amazing! He was joyful, fun, and kept the ride quite engaging. All the Dolomites, lakes, everything was very nice. They also took us to a gelato place at the end, that was the cherry on top!

Marco was an amazing driver and tour guide! We had such a great experience. He showed us the best locations for photos! He was very funny and made the long ride enjoyable. You have lots of free time at each spot along the way to explore. The views were GORGEOUS! This was one of our favorite tours in Italy. I would recommend going on this tour!

Chock full of Venice Sights
A very interesting tour broken up into 2 parts. 1st part was with Flavia, our tour guide, who was very personable, knowledgeable and kept the tour interactive and fun. She was also very helpful and available on our boat ride back regarding any travel or topical questions we have. The second part of our tour was provided by Filipe. Our tour guide, who was also very knowledgeable about St Mark’s Doge’s Palace, paced himself well and was very thorough. He also ensured he made the proper handoff to the next guide orchestrating the gondola rides. All in all a fun and informative day, however, make sure your stamina is up as there’s quite a bit of standing and walking, but again not a harried pace. Highly recommend and a good value for a full day.

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!

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.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Pulling yourself away from Venice’s splendor can be a challenge, but this city on the sea is the perfect base for exploring the surrounding Veneto region or even further afield. Venice day trips are a seamless way to visit destinations as close as islands in the Venetian lagoon or as far as the UNESCO-listed Dolomite peaks without managing tricky logistics alone. Sip Prosecco in the Valdobbiadene vineyards, admire iconic sports cars in the Motor Valley museums or discover Veneto gems like Verona and Lake Garda with hassle-free transportation directly from Venice.
