Top Venice Private Sightseeing Tours - page 7

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.

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!

Our guide was a local college student who wasn't a Venetian native, but was still very familiar with the area and could share stories and insights into the sites. He helped accommodate my elderly mother quite well, and we were able to enjoy our own pace around the city. Overall a very nice experience!

My family would highly recommend Noemi to anyone visiting Venice! She gave us a thorough and engaging tour of this beautiful city, answering all of or questions with thoughtful and detailed responses. Noemi was especially patient and accomodating with our 80 year old father who has mobility issues, making sure he was comfortable throughout the tour. Her kindness, knowledge and professionalism made3 our experience truly6 memorable. Thank you Noemi!

The experience was amazing. Marco really helped us know what to see and do where we stopped. Cortina is lovely. the dolomites were spectacular. We stopped in various places to take pictures. Marco let us know about different activities. I enjoyed everything so so much, especially love the chairlift ride & the restaurant on the top at the lake. we stopped at for 2 1/2 hours. It was just what I needed just the right amount of time everywhere would highly recommend this trip. You won’t be disappointed.!!

Our guides, Elizabeth and Claudia, were awesome! Our ride over to Murano Island was fun! Our tour of the glassblowing factory was amazing! The master created stunning work of art before our eyes! Each piece is one of a kind. I highly recommend this tour.

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.

Claudia is an outstanding guide and host to the city she grew up in, Venice. She knows the history inside and out and is passionate about explaining and sharing it. We especially appreciate her as this is our first visit. We could not be happier with our tour and gondola ride.
