Venice Must See Attractions Walking Tour With A Guide

Molly_M, Apr 2026

Amazing personal tour of Venice

We had an absolutely delightful tour with our guide Fari!!! Honestly can't recommend this tour enough. It was so nice to have a personal guide in a crowded city like Venice. He took us off the beaten path and away from the crowds. We learned so much about Venice and its history and it made the day incredibly memorable.

William_B, Apr 2026

Great tour with Anna!

Our tour was great! Anna was very knowledgeable and has a super great personality. We had a small group, so we were able to ask many more questions and have such a great time. The other couples and families with us were also super nice and made the overall experience much better. The places we stopped for food and wine were all very nice. Most were frequented by locals and not the typical tourist traps. We would do the tour again!!

Tomas made our experience so great! He was super friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed all of the information he shared and he was very nice to the kids. Highly recommend this tour. It was very interesting to see another side of Venice. Thanks so much we had a great time!

Ruthann_C, Apr 2026

Ancient Venice brought to life!

Touring St. Mark’s and the Doge’s Palace with a guide was the best way to see these two iconic venues. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a wealth of information. I believe her name was Elleanora. She was awesome! Highly recommend seeing these places with a guide- it really gave us a whole different perspective than just walking around by ourselves and looking at the sites. I would warn against this tour only if you have mobility issues as there a lot of stairs.

Best Of Venice: Saint Mark's Basilica, Doges Palace with Guide and Gondola Ride

david_j, Apr 2026

Beautiful tour!! Filipe...

Beautiful tour!! Filipe was our guide, and was highly informative and friendly. The palace is incredible, with breathtaking gold details, we also loved experiencing the dungeons, and Filipe left time for us to stop for a snack and bathroom break with great recommendations prior to heading over to St Marks Basilica, which had beautiful mosaic detailing. The tour ended with a gondola ride wish is also a non-negotiable experience in Venice! Highly recommend this tour, we brought our toddler and he had no issues despite its 3.5 hour run time, as there was ample time for him to run around in the square and open areas of the palace.

Awe struck.

Literally the most beautiful place I have ever laid my eyes on. Didn’t even take pictures because pictures wouldn’t do any of this justice. Come see it in person and make sure you get a tour guide without one you’ll just be looking at pictures without knowing the story behind them.

Venice: St.Mark's Basilica & Doge's Palace Tour with Tickets

William_B, Apr 2026

Amazing Tour!!!!

My wife and I took our first visit to Italy and booked this tour to avoid the lines of Easter weekend. It worked! Our guide “Alexa” was phenomenal. It was like having a history professor explain the origins of the Doge and the details of the paintings. Her knowledge of the St Mark’s Basilica dove into the details of each mosaic. Whether you are Catholic or Protestant, you will appreciate Alexa’s knowledge of the Christian faith and her passion for explaining the why behind each tile mosaic.

The Essence of Venice in a Stress Free Small group Walking Tour

Sophie_V, Mar 2026

Wonderful 2 hours

Our walking tour was absolutely brilliant—Alice was amazing. She gave us a unique perspective on two sides of Venice: the modern city and how locals navigate everyday life, as well as the grandeur of the 16th-century capital of the Venetian Republic. The tour was fun, educational, and definitely not boring! I would happily come back again. As a local, Alice also gave us plenty of great advice on where to go and where to eat, and her recommendations were excellent. As an art historian, I especially appreciated her insights, particularly when she pointed out where we could find original paintings by Titian.

Great personal feeling tour!

Great walking tour to see different areas of the city starting in the university area, moving through San Paolo, and ending in the most famous San Marco’s square. I took the tour during my first full day and really enjoyed learning more about the history of Venice on the tour. Alice was a fantastic tour guide, and she was friendly, kind, and informative answering all our questions and giving recommendations. We had three people in our group which gave the tour a great personal feel. Highly recommend this tour!

This was a two hour walk...

This was a two hour walk through Venice including the major sights like St Marks Sq as well as covering what felt like endless lanes and bridges. It was so interesting to hear Denise's stories of the history and culture of Venice. The tour was a really good introduction to a few days in the city aand we found it very enjoyable.
