Must Do Tour
Very educational and beautiful tour filled with a great history of Venice. Highly recommend the skip the line portion to ensure a smooth entrance into both St. Mark's and Doge Palace. Rita was fantastic and provided a fascinating look into Venetian history.

Private tour with...
Private tour with Stephen, a young man raised in Venice. It was so interesting to be able to ask him about his upbringing, going to school and living in Venice. We learned so much about the history of Venice, including lots of interesting facts about the wooden pilings. The city was built on that litter, petrified, and became able to support much more weight. Got us out of the crowds and into some quieter spaces.

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.

Wonderful tour, highly recommend!
We absolutely loved our tour with Roberta! It was nice getting to go into the palace before it was packed with other people & we loved the information given during the tour. The tour was the perfect amount of time & our group was not too large so we could still ask questions we wanted. We would highly recommend this tour to others & especially recommend Roberta!

100% recommend
100% recommend. We actually canceled this trip and rebooked at the last minute- so glad we did. We were greeted at meeting place with needed info (bathroom and coffee location). Loaded into van with Miriam who shared information and did a meet and greet before she started sharing her wealth of knowledge about the region. She answered questions and is so personable. The scenery is unbelievable- so glad we didn’t skip this opportunity. Highly recommend chair lift with Tiramisu on the mountainside. There was enough opportunity for pictures and movement that I didn’t feel confined in van for lengthy day. Miriam cares!! She even stayed late to let the hailstorm subside before we left. Strongly recommend. Have a great day

The art of Prosecco making.
Overall was a very nice experience. They did ask me to change the date. I originally parked, which was not ideal, but didn’t really negatively impact our experience.. I see little logistics of it were handled very well. We got our train tickets when we expected them and the pick up was very smooth.. Even though I would recommend that they possibly have a sign when so that you can identify who you’re supposed to meet when you get off the train. The driver was a very nice well informed lady. She made the trip very pleasurable. The wineries we went to had great stories and taught us a lot about making Prosecco. The passion that these two wineries had four Prosecco was very obvious. And we appreciated that they obviously love their lot, their land, their grapes their vines and took great pride in their techniques. It was really nice to learn about it all. As far as the Prosecco itself, it was good, but it’s not the Prosecco we in the US know. It’s the more local version of Prosecco, which is great to experience but different than our pallets are used to.. I really appreciated how each winery cared for how they made their Prosecco when they would pick their grapes. That really turned the Prosecco making from a science to an art. I could see these wineries as chefs of Prosecco making. And understood how when they picked their grapes is key to what their wine is gonna taste like that was extremely interesting.

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.

Perfect way to start Venice exploration.
We booked this trip as the double tour with Murano/Burano islands. This part of the trip has so much information and our guide was a wealth of knowledge. I do believe you need a guide to help you understand the history of both entities. The Gondola ride was an added treat. We were very happy we did the double tour and had a free day to explore the Lido.

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!

Amazing!
Cristina (I believe that was the tour guide’s name) was amazing. She took us to all the beautiful places and on the way gave us loads of knowledge about the mountains and places. Plus, she is an excellent driver. The van itself is new and clean, very comfortable ride throughout the trip. I’ll definitely recommend anyone to give this day trip a try. Definitely this trip will forever stay in my heart. 🥹

Spectacular day trip!
Great day in the mountains! Chiara, our guide, was fantastic! She gave us a lot of information about each area we drove through and visited. She made sure everyone was informed and on time. Sergei, our driver, kept us safe on the winding and narrow roads. Beautiful scenery all day long! The Dolomites, lakes, and towns did not disappoint!! And the stop for cheese and gelato was sooooo good! Highly recommend!

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.

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.
