Get the lay of the land and cover the top sights in just a few hours on this introductory walking tour. With your guide in the lead, focus on the sights rather than a map and check off the main attractions: Stroll across the Rialto Bridge, admire the exterior of St. Mark's Basilica, wander through canalside alleys, and more.

Mary was our private tour guide...

Earl_H, Jul 2016
Mary was our private tour guide - really a friendly and knowledgeable guide in Venice. She gave us a thourough history of Venice, walked through many of the significant sights - showed us many of the significant structures, how they fit into Venice's history. Our tour ended at St Marks Basillica - amazing. We walked right in, totally bypassing what appeared to be a several hour wait in line. We really enjoyed the tour
