Emanuela- such a fun character - loves her Venice and it shows
Emanuela was an absolute character—funny, energetic and wonderfully entertaining, while still teaching us plenty about Venice and its islands, including the history of acqua alta and the city’s extraordinary relationship with the water. She loved picking on us in the best possible way, from calling me the “handsome man” blocking her view to immediately figuring out that my suspiciously good answers came from watching far too many YouTube videos before the trip. Her personality made the boat ride and our time exploring Murano and Burano every bit as memorable as the places themselves.

Don't Miss this Tour!
Our guide was a lovely older gentleman, born and raised in Vienna. He was friendly, knowledgable, and funny! He gave great advice and recommendations, it was because of him that I ended up going to the Albertina- I don't think it would have been on my list and it ended up being a highlight of my trip. I'd recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vienna for the first time.

Highly recommend for a 2 hour overview
Matteo gave a fun and engaging overview of Venice. The group was less than 15, he provided the right amount of info, and he steered clear of crowded areas. As a local he made us feel much closer to the Venetian experience. He also gave great recommendations for how to spend the rest of our stay.

Alice was incredible! Unique & unforgettable 💗
This was one of the most unique experiences I’ve ever had. Alice was such a charming tour guide, she was so funny and very informative. She took us to all the local gems in the city and we really enjoyed trying all the different food. The wine was also exceptional, we made lots of friends on the tour. One of the best tours I’ve ever had! I appreciated the amazing time in Venice!

A Beautiful & Informative Experience in Venice!
Ione was a wonderful tour guide! Her knowledge surrounding the Doge Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica is extensive and she was very kind throughout the tour. I learned so much about the history of Venice that I was not aware of prior. These two iconic landmarks in Venice are absolutely stunning and should be witnessed in person. As a solo traveler, I highly recommend this tour!

Great way to learn about Venice
Our guide Alic (sp?) was great. She is from the area and lives in Venice and is very knowledgeable of the city. She covered everything we wanted to know about Venice and more. We searched around for a walking tour and we thought this was well worth it. 2 hours is the right length.
The only downside of this tour was the radio that would cut out frequently when we were walking. Fortunately, the only conversation we would miss were questions asked by other tourists closer to our guide. Alic says she doesn't usually give information while walking.

Really recommend this...
Really recommend this tour so informative.
Rita who took it was amazing so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Venice history.
Even though the tour was two and half hours long it didn't feel it
You went round at a leisurely pace and she made sure everyone was ok at regular intervals.
She also added just the right amount humour to make the tour entertaining!!

Must do Venice
What an absolute highlight of our time in Venice! If you are considering booking this walking and wine tour, do not hesitate . It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
Our guide Martina is an absolute gem. Warm, friendly and welcoming, she made us feel like old friends exploring her favorite local spots rather than standard tourists. Her passion for Venice, its history, and its culinary traditions is contagious. She guided us effortlessly away from the crowded tourist traps and into the authentic, soulful heart of the city, weaving delightful local stories between every stop.Every single venue was selected with such thoughtful care. We visited intimate, authentic bacari - Venetian wine bars - that we never would have discovered on our own. Martina introduced us to outstanding regional wines - refreshing local whites to rich, velvety reds—explaining the unique territory of the Veneto region with zero pretension. The cicchetti were incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor. Every mouthful was a joy and
just when we thought the tour couldn't get any better, Martina capped off the journey with a stop for artisanal gelato. It was hands-down the best ice cream we had in all of Venice—rich, creamy, and made with pristine ingredients. Oh, I almost forgot the amazing local coffee with grappa
If you want to experience the true flavor of Venice with a guide who truly cares, book this tour. Thank you, Martina for an unforgettable afternoon! Barbara Claire and Kathryn

great experience
Venessa was very nice, easy to be with and was well organised. The tour was more than a food experience, sharing a lot of history about the city. The food was excellent and very filling. The tour was very worthwhile and a highlight of our visit to Venice

Fabulous tour
It is very interesting and absolutely stunning to see all the art work. There is a lot of climbing stairs so just be ready. Nico was our guide and he was passionate about the art work and he shared much knowledge about the history of Venuce and the art.

Alicia was a great guide....
Alicia was a great guide. She told us lots of interesting stories about Venice and gave a good sense of a lot of the historical context. The tour was well paced and definitely covered some places we would not have seen without it. A good start to Venice!

Love was in the air!
The Doge Palace was absolutely stunning and Roberta was very knowledgeable. The timing of each part of the tour was perfect. We could have spent hours roaming through the canals on the gondola, but the experience was priceless. We fell in love with Venice and will definitely have to make another trip back to experience even more. For a 1 day trip, this was the perfect tour!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Venice is completely closed to traffic, but its maze of alleys and canals is almost impenetrable to a first-time visitor. Skip the hassle of following a map and see the A-list sights and quiet neighborhoods far from the tourist crush with a walking tour of Venice. Choose an express tour to get your bearings or a longer half- or full-day tour for a deep dive into the city’s history and culture with a private guide or a small group. For the full Venice experience, explore the city by land and water with a combination walking tour and gondola ride.
