Top Venice Private Sightseeing Tours

My husband and I were treated to a fantastic walking tour by Sneh Wayne. Our original tour was supposed to occur when it was raining heavily in Venice, and I was so disappointed that we were going to miss the walking adventure, but Sneh contacted me and set up a different day/time for us to meet. His tour was above and beyond what we expected. He met us at our hotel in the early evening hours, and he guided us through the parts of Venice that we had not seen already. His storytelling was superb, and we were engaged throughout the tour. He was professional, kind, funny, and full of knowledge. We would recommend taking a tour with Sneh... you will love the adventure!

The best decision we made on this trip!!! Soroush showed us things we would have never found on our own. He was friendly, knowledgeable, gave us interesting information and felt more like an old friend showing us his city vs a stranger we hired. He even showed us a great place for dinner. Cannot say enough nice things about our experience. 100/10 would book again!!

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our private Murano tour. The boat ride over was smooth, we were met by Andre who showed us the behind the scenes process with the glass master. We toured the shop and selected some beautiful pieces to be shipped back home. Our guide, Camilla, was exceptional. She shared great info about the art, history, culture and pride of the Venetian people.

We had just a few hours in Venice, and we were very lucky to have Vittorio as our tour guide. He was fun, knowledgeable, and very patient. We were a large group, and he waited for us to retranslate everything he said. We had two senior citizens with us, and he adjusted the pace to their needs. I highly recommend Vittorio as anyone's tour guide.

Marvelous island trip. Make sure to go to Torcello and it’s a good place to eat lunch at a nice restaurant away from the crowds of Burano. Our guide Clementina was 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! The glass blowing tour is ok but ends with a hard sell of expensive handmade glass products.

We had a very nice time, Ester was lovely & catered the tour to suit our interests, we stopped for a coffee along the way. We went to areas that we wouldn’t have gone to, some of which were less crowded, she was knowledgeable about the area so that was great. Two hours was enough for us but you can go for a longer time if you prefer

Our private food tour with Giacomo was an absolutely delightful blend of gastronomy and cultural immersion. Giacomo expertly guided us through various Venetian neighborhoods, using each carefully selected dish as a gateway to understanding the rich history and heritage of this remarkable city. The culinary experience was exceptional—from fresh, locally-sourced seafood that showcased Venice’s maritime traditions to delicate pastries that revealed the city’s artisanal craftsmanship. Each sip of wine and spritz was perfectly paired not just with the food, but with fascinating stories about the neighborhoods we explored. What elevated this tour beyond a simple food experience were the engaging conversations Giacomo facilitated about Venice’s evolution—its storied past, vibrant present, and promising future. His insights transformed each tasting into a meaningful cultural exchange, making the tour both highly informative and thoroughly enjoyable. Giacomo’s passion for his city and its culinary traditions was infectious, creating an atmosphere where learning about Venice felt as natural as savoring its incredible flavors. This tour offered the perfect combination of exceptional food, rich history, and genuine local perspective. We highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to truly taste and understand Venice. We’re already planning our return visit and wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with Giacomo to discover even more of Venice’s culinary treasures!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
