15 Best Venice Private Tours

“Wonderful experience. During the boat excursion over to the islands, the guide provides very insightful information about Venice. The glass blowing demonstration was interesting, but doesn't hold a candle to the extent of amazing glass sculptures on display throughout the museum. Burano is a lovely…”

“Elaina (tour guide for February 21st 10:30am) was amazing! She was super energetic and knowledgeable as well as passionate, given her native Venetian roots. She was also good at corralling the group and keeping us on schedule as we made our way between the two…”

“Francesco was our tour guide. Being a Venetian native, he was able to share information that he knew first hand. The Bascilica was amazing and the boat tour a blast. I highly recommend both and ask for Francesco... you won’t be disappointed!”

“Loved our guide and this experience! Highly recommend!!! Learned a lot about Venice and saw the best of the city!”

“Great trip to Murano and Burano to see local artisans. The glass making was interesting (but very hot!) and we bought some small souvenirs home. They did have much more expensive options but just not my style. Murano had the cute colored houses and lots…”

“Easy reservation and payment system. Company could give better instructions as to how to meet - we picked “meet outside luggage pickup” but had to go to their counter closer to the boats. Otherwise, great service.”

“A fantastic escape from the Venice crowds! Taking a boat for a half-day tour of Murano and Burano was worth every penny. Seeing the glass-blowing demonstration up close and personal was an absolute highlight—I even found a beautiful set of glass rosary beads for my…”

“Short glass making demonstration, then extended showroom experience, but no historical (museum type) context apart from guide's information. No time to enter church on Torcello. Burano was beautiful but no sign of lace making. Guide was knowledgable and helpful”

“A wonderful experience! The Gondoliers are amazing, the way they get around the canals with all the other traffic is just crazy! Interesting history along the way but truly relaxing & beautiful. R we started it hour at 6 so it was perfect timing on…”
