Top Venice Walking Tours

It was a truly amazing experience. Our guide was quite passionate about all the history and very informative pointing different meanings in the artwork. There are a fair number of steps, but there is an elevator. It was fabulous and really rated 10 stars!

We had a wonderful, fascinating, and mesmerizing day in Venice guided by Sneh Waine. We felt as though he made a fantasy we didn't even know was possible come true. We were far away from the crowds on the water, alongside the most beautiful buildings. Along the way, we saw recommended Biennale exhibitions, and we ended this magical day at the Biennale Gardens.

This was a wonderful way to learn about Venice and it's food culture. The experience was very enjoyable with plenty of food and wine. Mariana was a great host and a positive reflection on Venice. We were so glad to met her. I wholeheartedly this tour. Its a must on your visit to Venice.

This is a must if you are in Venice. Priority access to the Doge’s Palace and Basilica, along with the gondola ride were a useful way to spend a day in Venice. Sarah, our guide was excellent and very engaging. She was able to bring each location to life and provided a lot of history to go with the sights. I don’t think it was clear that the gondola ride is a separate tour so you have a break between the two tours and have two different guides. Still very good though.

Our group of 19 was led by Grace from The Tour Guy- wonderful. She was passionate about the places , history, her country, and advocated for our group when others cut in line. The crowds are significant so having a guide like Grace was a gift! Highly recommend this. The 30 min gondola ride was extra sweet- just 2 of us, 5 pm so cooler, and it’s fascinating to watch these 11 ft boats navigate right angle turns. Great tour!

Shaheer was excellent. He was very communicative the days previous to us arriving in Venice and adjusted his schedule to accommodate 2 last minute timing changes due to our transportation being rerouted. He was a local and a Masters student in Venice, so excellent knowledge and great discussion. I would suggest that 2 hour is probably the right amount to give you your bearings and understand the “why” of 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

It was wonderful! We learn so much about the history of Venice and the Chuch and Doge Palace. The Gondola ride was quite an experience; the gondoliers are incredibly talented. Our tour guide was fantastic and I would take a tour with her again tomorrow. Excellent job by aviator.
