Half Day Murano & Burano Islands Small Group Tour by Private Boat

Carolyn_M, Sept 2026

Great tour of Murano and Burano

Flavia was a wonderful guide, friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. We really liked Murano, the glass blowing demonstration was fun. We had time to walk around the town briefly. But we really loved Burano! The town was absolutely beautiful! Plenty of time for a snack and coffee. Would go again.

Tour of The Real Hidden Venice

Michael_M, Sept 2026

A look at some off the beaten track sights

This is a good tour to some of the ‘off the beaten track’ locations around Venice. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the history of the city in a way everyone could understand. It was at a good pace and the guide provided some useful tips for dinner afterwards.

Venice Private Walking Tour with a Local

Mallory_B, Sept 2026

Customized to you

This was a truly customized and personalized experience walking the streets of Venice. Our guice Eloi was enthusiastic, personable, and filled with anything Venice. He did his homework, asking the day before, what we wanted the tour to cover and he covered it. We asked for restaurant recommendations, he provided three, we went to all three and loved them. He made some great suggestions on special artwork installations to attend. This tour was unique. If we had asked him to take us to all of the classic tourist sites he was prepared to do so but we didn't want that type of tour. Eloi and this walking tour expreience is hightly recommended. Go as early in the morning as you can to avoid the crowds.

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

Danielle_N, Sept 2026

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!

Learn about Venice while avoiding the crowds

We had a lovely tour of Venice with Sneh (Wayne). We saw a part of Venice that most tourists never visit. We learned so much about the history of the city. As Venice turns into a Disneyland type experience, it was a treat to have Wayne show us the backstreets and alleyways of the Venice he loves.

Small Group Dolomites and Cortina Tour from Venice

Kumar_N, Sept 2026

Dolomites done easy and well

We had a terrific day out. The weather was perfect for all the outdoor activities. Marco our driver and guide was extremely knowledgeable and spoke terrific English. If you are expecting long hikes through the hills.. this is not the tour for you. This delivers you to three good locations to take in the beauty of the Dolomites with minimal walking involved. If the weather is looking overcast, you should take a jacket or pullover. It is much cooler when the sun is hiding.

Venice Unveiled: A Stress-Free Small-Group Walking Tour

Christine_C, Jun 2026

Great walking tour

Giada was truly a great and informed tour guide. Loved hearing about the history and architecture of Venice, and while they promised less than 10 people (we had 12 and 2 don’t show which means 14), but it was ok. Giada was great with taking us places slightly off the beaten path. Venice is very very busy though.
