Top Venice Day Trips

This tour provides a look at less visited parts of Venice. From the Jewish ghetto to a pretty park to various interesting courtyards and plazas, the guide gave us nice insights regarding Venice and its people. He also had a great sense of humor. And there is a really good view of El Rialto bridge at the end.

We had a wonderful tour to Murano and Burano with David. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. His explanations about the history, culture, glassmaking traditions of Murano, and the colorful charm of Burano were informative without ever feeling overwhelming. What really made the tour special was David’s sense of humor and relaxed style — he kept everyone entertained while still sharing fascinating details and local insights. He was patient with questions, organized, and made sure everyone felt included throughout the day. The tour was the perfect balance of learning, sightseeing, and fun. We left with a much deeper appreciation for the islands and some great memories as well. Highly recommend touring with David if you’re visiting Venice and want a guide who is both professional and personable.

This was a great way to explore areas we would have missed on our trip! Make sure to have layers to be able to adjust throughout the day as the temperatures did fluctuate. We stayed at the hotel right by where the meeting point was so if you are staying at the new Hampton this is a great choice for tour! Everything was smooth and the guide made sure we knew meeting times back allowing us to explore the different stops and enjoy the cities. Great full day excursion that I recommend!

This is a day long tour with 8 of us in a van. Massimo was our tour guide and driver for the day. He was friendly and very knowledgeable (as well as a great photographer!) and showed us many places in the Dolomites, sharing many interesting stories and facts about them. We also had a fantastic lunch of Dolomite cuisine at very reasonable prices along the way. We have no hesitation in recommending this tour.

Our trip to the Dolomites was unforgettable. We were surrounded by stunning mountains. The weather was perfect throughout the trip, making every moment even more enjoyable. We visited the crystal-clear lakes and explored the charming town of Cortina d'Ampezzo. Our guide was kind and energetic, always keeping the group engaged and excited. The trip was well organized, and the scenery felt like something from a postcard. It was a wonderful experience filled with adventure, relaxation, and amazing memories. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves nature and mountain landscapes.

It was a fantastic tour with Roberta! She was so informative and had great historical stories to share. We spent 6 hours touring St. Marks Basciilla and the Doges Palace. She knew so much about the artwork and architecture. The gondola ride included in the tour was relaxing. Roberta also took us in a residential area with narrow winding streets and charming old houses. T here was a lot of walking, so if you have mobility issues, this is not for you! All in all, a perfect tour!

Carlo was amazing! We were a party of 5 ages 25-60 and everyone had a fantastic time. The wine was wonderful, the food was delicious, and Carlo was funny and very knowledgeable. And the landscape was picture perfect. I highly recommend as this day trip was a highlight of our vacation.

You don’t have to be a classical music lover to enjoy this trip back in time, through music Traveling for the first time to Italy with friends & family. We thought getting a glimpse of old world Venice through music would be cool and it was. Don’t know anything about classical music but do know a few names of the old composers, Vivaldi is one and seeing how his “The Four Seasons” work is the most famous, and he was from Venice it made sense to go to the performance. We all had a wonderful time and the music was very engaging & lively. I think what really added to the performance, especially if you weren’t a classical music lover, was that the musicians dressed in the costumes of the period. You could imagine yourself in the 18th Century & listening to a concert of Vivaldi. We were looking for something uniquely “Venetian” and this concert fit the bill. Of course it was for “tourists” but it definitely had a different “flavor” other than the regular “tourist” things to do in Venice. We upgraded our tickets to “Skip the Line- Sit in the First Thee Rows”. It was worth it to be right up front. Like I said earlier, no one in our group was a classical music fan but we all enjoy good music whatever the genre. We heard good music & enjoyed the showmanship. It was a great activity and an end to a beautiful day in Venice.
