Venice is not an island standing alone. It is the most extraordinary expression of an entire lagoon. This private day leaves the city behind without ever leaving its story. Travelling by wooden water limousine, we cross the open lagoon to understand the geography, skills and communities that made Venice possible. Murano, Burano and the northern lagoon are not treated as a collection of picturesque stops. Each island reveals a different form of Venetian intelligence: the mastery of matter, the patience of handwork, the life of small communities and the delicate relationship between land and water. The boat gives the day its freedom. We can slow down, change perspective and experience the lagoon as Venetians always have: not as empty space between destinations, but as a world in itself.

What are people saying about Venice

Philip_M, Oct 2026

Marvelous experience!

This is a must do trip if you are at all interested in glass. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel (the actual ticket is confusing but it is a round trip back to hotel). Our guide, Julia, was terrific! Emilio at Colleoni met us at the dock at Murano and led us to the demonstration and explained what was happening. Colleoni is a premier glass blowing company and their showroom is spectacular! We bought a chandelier what will be made just for us.

Private or Semi Doge's Palace & Saint Mark's Basilica Guided Tour

Salli_S, Oct 2026

Excellent Tour of Iconic Sites in Venice

We enjoyed our tour of Doge's palace, the prison and Saint Mark's Basilica with our guide, Ottavia. She did a great job sharing the history of these places. We got so much more out of the tour than we would have if we had just visited by ourselves. She was very knowledgeable and we left with a good understanding of the unique history of these iconic sites. Semi-private group was 6 people so it was easy to get around and to hear with headphones provided.

Great Experience with Reza!

We had just one day in Venice before our cruise, so we booked this tour to get a great overview of the city rather than wander aimlessly on our own. Reza was prompt, knowledgeable, and a wonderful guide. The private walking tour was fantastic—he showed us many of Venice’s highlights and shared fascinating history along the way. Highly recommend!

Private Walkng Tour in Venice

Amina was a wonderful tour guide with a lovely personality. She met us at the hotel due to (losing luggage in Venice from Paris and we waited for next flight that luggage was on) and we were on a tight schedule. Anyways, Amina was timely, dependable , very personable and knowledgeable about Venice. She showed us so many hidden gems off the beaten paths that were truly lovely! We asked for recommendations for dinner, and shopping when we return to Venice after our cruise ends and she gave us many. She knew her history of Venice and was a very refreshing tour guide! She truly enjoyed doing this job!

Venice Private Walking Tour with a Local

Jeff_B, Sep 2026

Communicative and flexible to our schedule

Shaheer was excellent. He was very communicative the days previous to us arriving in Venice and adjusted his schedule to accommodate 2 last minute timing changes due to our transportation being rerouted. He was a local and a Masters student in Venice, so excellent knowledge and great discussion. I would suggest that 2 hour is probably the right amount to give you your bearings and understand the “why” of Venice.

Private Gondola with Private Walking Tour In Heart of Venice

Liz_N, Sep 2026

Personal walking tour with Reza!

Reza was a great tour guide! He personalized the tour to our interests and questions. He gave us the opportunity to see areas a little off the beaten track which was nice. If you get the chance to take a personal tour do it, much nicer than the group tours. The gondola ride at the end was icing on the cake, we spent some time on the Grand Canal but the quieter back canals were very enjoyable and relaxing. Great tour with Reza!

Private Excursion by Typical Venetian Motorboat to Murano, Burano and Torcello

Jason_S, Aug 2026

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!

Private tour on Murano Island: discover the art of Artisanal Glassblowing

gloverandrea, Jun 2026

Fantastic Custom Tour

Elisabete was a wonderful tour guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable, kind and thoughtful. It was just our family of 3, so it was private and intimate. After the glass blowing demonstration we visited the factory showrooms. Then went into a church and went to the lighthouse. We stopped at a few shops before getting back on the water taxi. We truly enjoyed our visit to Murano.
