You probably know Venice, the spectacular floating world of canals and islands, as a city of water. But that’s not its only claim to fame: the city known as La Serenissima is also one of the world’s greatest cities of art. From Bellini to Titian, Tintoretto to Veronese, Venice’s remarkable art scene is an indelible part of city life, woven into the urban fabric in the shape of countless palaces and churches, meeting halls and museums. Inspired by the stunningly vibrant environment all around them, Venetian painters were beguiled by the unpredictable charms of colour, and our Venice Art Tour is the perfect introduction to the unique expressiveness of Venetian art. Come face-to-face with some of the greatest masterpieces ever painted, and in the company of an expert private guide, learn how art has shaped the city in unforgettable locations often overlooked by tour itineraries: The Accademia, the Scuola di San Rocco and the Basilica dei Frari.

Our guide was prompt,...

Our guide was prompt, meeting in the hotel lobby and bringing our group to the water taxi. She was engaging, and fun providing conversation and historical information on the ride to Murano. The demonstration was short but fascinating, providing two examples of items made by the craftsmen. The shop had a wide variety of items for viewing and purchase.

Don't think twice- book this tour!

Ottavia was an incredible tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and knew exactly how to guide us through the highlights of Venice. Our tour of St. Mark’s Basilica, Doge’s Palace, the prison, and the Bridge of Sighs was informative, interesting, and perfectly paced.

Murano and Burano Private Boat Tour from Venice

Michele_M, Aug 2026

Perfect private tour!

What a wonderful way to see some of the islands. The boat owner/operator, Pierangelo, was perfect. His boat was beautiful and immaculately maintained. He knew a great out of the way spot for lunch and took us to a less touristy glass making factory in Murano. I bought some wonderful pieces that I will always treasure, especially knowing they were made by Murano artisans. If you are looking for a wonderful day excursion then this is a perfect way to do it.

My 15 year old daughter and I enjoyed this experience walking around and learning about the local unique art forms of glass blowing and lace making. Giorgia was a wonderful guide and even suffered patiently while I practiced a little Italian 🤣. The private boat transfers were a welcome relaxed treat that enhanced the experience.

Venice Doge's Palace & Prisons Tour

Monique_D, Jul 2026

Super Engaging Tour of the Doge's Palace

This was a fabulous tour of the Doge's Palace - interesting and engaging the entire time. Our tour guide, Edy, was extremely dynamic and pointed out interesting details about the Palace, the history of Venice, and other facts in a way that kept our rapt attention (including the attention of our 8 and 11 year old, who both loved the guide as well). She is a story-teller and is able to relay the history in a way that made it easy to follow and exciting. This is a must-see site in Venice that was made even better by our fabulous guide - highly recommend!

Venice Private Tour - Custom Experience with Local Guide

A Heartfelt, Unforgettable Way to Experience Venice

My boyfriend and I did a private Venice tour with Amina and a food tour with Vittorio, both through this company. It ended up being one of the most special parts of our trip. After coming from the States with flight delays, lost luggage, and last-minute changes, this company was so kind, flexible, and accommodating. They made us feel completely taken care of. Amina made Venice feel personal, like we were walking around with a friend who truly wanted us to love the city. Vittorio made the food tour just as memorable with great food, stories, and conversation. It was warm, comfortable, and unforgettable. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Private Boat Tour to Murano, Burano and Torcello

Maria_A, May 2026

Wonderful tour of the Venetian Islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello

Our boat ride with Alex was very special. He took us to Murano and Burano where we disembarked and spent a good amount of time in each. At Murano we were led to a factory where we got a private demonstration by a Grand Master glass maker, Massimo, who made a small vase and a small horse in front of us. From there they led us upstairs to a gallery full of beautiful authentic Murano glass art and we were able to walk all around the gallery with a man who worked there. At the authentic Murano stores you can bargain and they’re usually willing to give you a discounted price. Burano is known for lace making and there we walked into one of two stores that Alex recommended. At Burano bargaining with the client is alive and well also. And yes, both at Murano and Burano, but especially at Burano, they are a little pushy and you may feel like you’re in a tourist trap, except what they are selling is beautiful and unique, so you are compelled to stay and look and maybe buy also. We didn’t disembark in Torcello but Alex drove us all around the island highlighting the most important facts. In honor of our wedding anniversary which we were celebrating he gave us prosecco and some traditional Burano biscuits. It was a bit chilly so he also gave us jackets to wear. Alex made the experience very special.
