Enjoy an exclusive tour of Venice with a private expert guide, and make the most of this incredible city and see all of the highlights. Begin in Saint Mark's Square for a perfect view of Saint Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace, the private chapel of the dukes of Venice until the 19th century. Get privileged access, and skip the long lines to enter the grand basilica and enjoy up-close views of the golden mosaics. Then skip the lines to the Doge's Palace to travel through 7 centuries of history as you see the palace prisons and court rooms, and stop on the Bridge of Sighs to see the last view of Venice that prisoners saw before they were locked in their cells. Your guide will then give recommendations for lunch, and after a short break continue your tour. Walk to the covered Rialto Bridge and discover the house where Marco Polo once lived. Go to the Renaissance church of the Campo Santa Maria Formosa, where you will end your perfect day true Venetian style in a private gondola ride

First, Nico the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. As a Venice native, he's passionate about his City and its history. We learned a lot and it was enjoyable. I guess I should have read the fine print, because we thought it was a full day for the money we were paying, but it turned out to be only a half day, really. So, I would change the name of the tour. It's not really Venice in a day. So, the 4 hours were full of good information and fascinating history. One of the coolest churches we've ever seen. The Gondola ride was supposed to be 30 minutes. This guy was passing other gondolas to get us around and back to the dock. Maybe 23 minutes. That was a let down, too. We weren't in a rush, and while I understand our gondolier isn't obligated to sing or talk to us, he seemed interested only in getting back to the dock to pick up the next fare.

Our guide was truly knowledgeable about Venice and its history. Very much enjoyed the customized tour that allowed us to see all the high points of Venice, and avoid the crowds. Skip the line tickets and tour of Doge palace and canal tour by Gondola were the highlights of our tour. Highly recommend this tour.

Our tour with Sara was outstanding. She introduced us to a brief history of Venice. Along with her expertise, communication skills and knowledge, this is one of the best tours we have ever experienced. My husband as well as my children were very enthused with every detail of the tour. Don't miss out. One big thank you to Sara for a worthwhile day in Venice.

We were lucky enough to have Martina as our guide for our private day tour of Venice. It was pouring rain for our tour but her cheerfulness, knowledge of history and passion for the city made us forget the weather. She paid careful attention to our needs and interests. We thoroughly enjoyed her company and feel like made a new friend. We highly recommend you request her for your tour.

What a fantastic tour! Our guide Mateo was fabulous. He was engaging and filled with information about Venice. It did rain a lot but we still enjoyed our visit. The Doge Palace is a highlight. We were a group of 7. My husband and I, my in laws and 3 young adults. Everyone had a blast.
One note there are 222 churches in Venice so be sure to check the meeting point (which is a church) carefully. We spent 30 minutes trying to find the right church. The tour company was very helpful in getting us to our guide and Mateo spent extra time with us at the end.

We had a fantastic tour with Francesca and unreservedly recommend this experience - especially if your time is limited in Venice. Francesca's deep knowledge of the history of Venice made our time in the basilica and Doge's palace come alive with stories of political intrigue and drama. Her knowledge of art history unlocked the beauty of the basilica and its decorative frescos, inlaid floor, statues and architecture. Our family enjoyed the tranquil gondola ride - a wonderful way to see Venice highlights!
