Great private tour with a local guide

Ian_H, Apr 2025

We booked an early morning tour for two hours. Michele the guide was brilliant. He was very knowledgeable, a local who had grown up and lives in Venice. He took us to lots of hidden parts of Venice and we avoided all the crowds. It was so worth doing!
