Top Venice Private Sightseeing Tours

We had a wonderful experience exploring Venice with our guide, Sherry. The tour was informative, enjoyable, and very well organized. Sherry was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the city, sharing interesting stories and historical details that made Venice come alive. We especially appreciated Sherry’s patience and willingness to answer all our questions. The tour helped us discover and understand Venice in a way we could not have done on our own. We highly recommend Sherry to anyone visiting Venice!

We had an incredible full day tour of Venice and Murano with Georgia! She was amazing and is very knowledgeable having been born and raised in the area. She was attentive to our questions and good at reading the pace of our group including two teenagers, two parents and two grandparents. We enjoyed a truly lovely day and this was a great way to see Venice for the first time. Murano was the real treat though! Don’t miss this tour!

We had an amazing tour with Tommaso! We are a family of 4, including 10 year old twin girls, from Houston, Texas USA. Tommaso picked us up at our Airbnb and walked us to a private water taxi where we headed to Murano to see the glass blowing demonstration. There, he handed us off to Diego who explained the process to us as we watched a master artisan make a bowl and a horse. It was amazing to see this process in action! Then, Diego accompanied us while we visited the showroom displaying the pieces made by different artists. Of course the sales people want to sell, but we felt no pressure to buy anything. We decided to buy a piece of handmade Venetian glass as a souvenir upstairs and our kids picked out two small items from the small store on the first floor. If you want to buy real Venetian glass, this is the place to do so as all of what you see in Venice is cheap mass produced glass. From there, we met Tommaso again who took us to another private water taxi to take us to Burano. On this island, Tomasso accompanied us and gave us a tour of the local areas and explained the culture. We learned and saw so much more than we ever could have on our own. We walked around town and stopped for a snack before going to a lace shop where we saw a demonstration of the lace making process and again had the opportunity to buy some lace, but it is not mandatory. After that, Tommaso took us back to our third and final private water taxi which took us back to Venice. This was a great day with a great guide and a great tour company! This company employs only locals for their tours, so their enthusiasm and dedication is evident. We highly recommend this tour for the quality, ease, and convenience, especially with children. Grazie!
