A Truly Outstanding Private Tour of Venice

Travis_S, Aug 2026

We had an outstanding private walking tour with Tony, and it was one of the highlights of our time in Venice. Before we even started, he asked what we had already seen and what interested us most. Since we’d already visited St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace, he designed a route through quieter neighborhoods, canals, churches, and hidden corners of the city that we never would have found on our own. It felt like a personalized experience from beginning to end. Tony has an incredible ability to bring Venice to life. He didn’t just point out buildings. He explained how the city came to exist, how it evolved into one of the great maritime powers of history, and how its architecture, engineering, trade, politics, and culture all fit together. He covered everything from Byzantine, Gothic, and Baroque influences to Venice’s changing fortunes through the centuries, using maps and historical illustrations that made everything easy to visualize. Best of all, it was a conversation, not a lecture. He welcomed every question and always had thoughtful, insightful answers. My kids and I all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Tony’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and ability to tailor the tour to our interests made for a fascinating few hours, and we walked away with a genuine understanding of Venice rather than just having checked off the major sights. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional guide.

We had an excellent experience in Venice with our guide Marco. Despite the heavy rain during the entire tour, Marco remained professional, enthusiastic, and incredibly kind. He even lent me his own umbrella for almost the full 2-hour excursion while he stayed completely soaked himself. That level of care and dedication is something we truly appreciated. His explanations were outstanding, very well documented, and enriched with images on his smartphone and material from his portfolio, which made the history and atmosphere of Venice come alive. Even with the terrible weather, he managed to make the tour enjoyable, interesting, and memorable. He told us we were the first ones to do this tour, and honestly, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I am writing this review because guides like Marco deserve recognition and support. Good luck, Marco, and thank you again for making our visit to Venice so special!
