Top Venice Day Trips

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

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 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.

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.

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!

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. 🥹

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 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.
