Top Venice Half-day Tours - page 2

Giulia was absolutely wonderful. We had such a lovely tour around the cannaregio, eating the most delicious food! Best risotto I've ever had, a lovely introduction to the Venetian variety of spritz, and the pizza! We went back to one of the places the next day for more pizza. As it was during the week, the tour was just my sister and myself, and Giulia included a little walk as well which was lovely and great for digestion! I slept wonderfully last night. Thank you so much for showing us around, Giulia! We hope to see you next time, when we bring the rest of our family! No photos I'm afraid, as we were too busy enjoying the tour and chatting with Giulia.

Our Jewish Ghetto food, wine and gelato tour with Vanessa was an absolute delight, blending rich history with unforgettable flavors. From the kosher bakery’s cookies to the small plate samples and seafood ragu…and a unique Venetian Select spritz, every stop was a treat. Vanessa’s warmth and knowledge made the evening seamless, even when we nearly missed the start. A perfect 5-star experience that you will not walk away from hungry!

Arrived in Venice under a cloud of challenges. Day two, we spent with Antonio and he was our sunshine. We had him to ourselves to enjoy his stories, share his experiences and get an insider’s view of Venice. He gave us five hours of insights when we only expected three. Bless you Antonio🥰

A special experience, with an amazing guide! We had a perfect visit with light crowds and a special chance to see the Basilica lit perfectly to showcase the mosaics. Martina was a warm welcome for our first experience in Venice and made sure we were well taken care of. Highly recommend this experience.

Our private food tour with Giacomo was an absolutely delightful blend of gastronomy and cultural immersion. Giacomo expertly guided us through various Venetian neighborhoods, using each carefully selected dish as a gateway to understanding the rich history and heritage of this remarkable city. The culinary experience was exceptional—from fresh, locally-sourced seafood that showcased Venice’s maritime traditions to delicate pastries that revealed the city’s artisanal craftsmanship. Each sip of wine and spritz was perfectly paired not just with the food, but with fascinating stories about the neighborhoods we explored. What elevated this tour beyond a simple food experience were the engaging conversations Giacomo facilitated about Venice’s evolution—its storied past, vibrant present, and promising future. His insights transformed each tasting into a meaningful cultural exchange, making the tour both highly informative and thoroughly enjoyable. Giacomo’s passion for his city and its culinary traditions was infectious, creating an atmosphere where learning about Venice felt as natural as savoring its incredible flavors. This tour offered the perfect combination of exceptional food, rich history, and genuine local perspective. We highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to truly taste and understand Venice. We’re already planning our return visit and wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with Giacomo to discover even more of Venice’s culinary treasures!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Perfectly seamless! Matteo was a wonderful guide. Being in a private boat in a small group enabled us to avoid crowds and just enjoy the islands. This tour also included a visit to the monastery which was so beautiful and peaceful (and not included in many other tours). Highly recommend.

The best supercar experience you could ask for! Catarina was fully knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure your experience was 10/10. I would fully recommend this for anyone interested in cars and will remember this experience forever. Hope to see you again soon Catarina!

This tour, while expensive, provided access to all the highlights of Venice. Our tour guide, Marie had a wealth of knowledge about the history and art. She was so personable and although provided a lot of information, it was not overwhelming. The gondola ride at the end of the tour was also good.
