What to expect

From the well-known St. Mark’s Square to the lesser-known local hotpots oozing Italian charm, this private tour offers a journey into the authentic soul of the ‘Floating City’. And, with a customizable itinerary, you can add your own unique touch. Lara, one of our expert, local guides, says, ‘Picture this – strolling along quaint bridges, weaving through alleyways, with picturesque canals at every turn. Exploring Venice like this is a soul-refreshing way to understand the city’s essence.’

Let's kick things off at St. Mark’s Square, where you'll tick off must-see spots like the Basilica, Doge’s Palace, and the Bell Tower. Then, it's time to weave through a maze of alleys and bridges, soaking up the vibrant Venetian vibe before reaching showtime at the Teatro La Fenice opera house. Its history is as dramatic as its performances. And, don’t forget, if there's something specific you're itching to see, just ask your guide on the day.

Then, you’ll dive into the Dorsoduro district, packed with art galleries and museums, as well as the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute – on November 21st, it comes alive with Venetian traditions. Strolling along the Zattere promenade with views of the Giudecca Canal is perfect for those Insta-worthy snaps. Here, your guide expert will point out a local favourite – Gelateria Nico. Will you be tempted to try one of their mouthwatering ice creams? Wrap up your tour at Squero di San Trovaso, a boatyard where gondolas are handcrafted. It’ll add that timeless touch to your Venetian adventure.
