Itinerary
The cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Venice, northern Italy. It is the most famous of the city's churches and one of the best known examples of Italo-Byzantine architecture.
The Rialto Bridge is the oldest of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. Connecting districts of San Marco and San Polo, it has been rebuilt several times since its first construction as a pontoon bridge in the 12th century, and is now a significant tourist attraction in the city.
It's the main public square of Venice also known as St Mark's square. The square is dominated at its eastern end by the great church of St Mark.
Murano is a series of islands linked by bridges in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy. It lies about 1.5 km north of Venice and measures about 1.5 km across with a population of just over 5,000. It is famous for its glass making. It was once an independent comune, but is now a frazione of the comune of Venice.

Our guide Giussepina did a great job of pointing out the important features of the area and was extremely knowledgeable of the history and architecture of the city. She provided us the flexibility to customize our tour to meet our goals for the day. She made some great recommendations and also advised us on what to avoid. A great tour from a very engaged local
Absolutely wonderful guide. So entertaining and interesting. Fully customizable tour. Felt very comfortable and learned so much!
Wonderful city exploration. Guide was well informed and extremely accommodating. Would use again. Thanks.
I'm late in writing this review (sorry Nicola). We used this company in May 2023. Not only did we do this tour in Venice, but we did two additional in Rome. Every tour guide and driver we interacted with was great. These private tours offer so much more learning and behind the scenes sightseeing than your typical group tour. Highly recommend this company, and will definitely use them again!
We had a local young lady as a guide, bright, lively, and very knowledgeable about Venice. The trip to Murano was interesting but tour time was wasted on being stuck in a sales venue, the glass museum, nice to see but did not like the pressure.
The tour was very flexible and catered to our interests. Ketty was a wonderful guide. She made us feel like VIPs. We learned so much from her about the area. We loved our time on Murano where we saw glass blowing artisans in action and toured a gallery. We saw everything we wanted to see in a short time, and had delicious coffee while learning the secrets to ordering like a local.
Guisy came to our apartment to make hooking up easier. We spent several hours walking around Venice, seeing all the touristy sights as well as many behind the scenes places most tourists don’t see. Once time for lunch she selected a great restaurant near the Grand Canal for us. While we were eating she went and arranged a taxi and tour for us to spend some time over on Murano touring the Murano glass factory. It was a great day. We all highly recommend Guisy for your Venice trip.
We had our tour with Fillipo. He was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and took us to places we had never seen before and all the places we had want to revisit. We would recommend Fillipo to anyone and our friends.
We throughly enjoyed our tour with Nicoletta. She was very knowledgeable and whisked is through the highlights of Venice. Loved having just my family and her undivided attention.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4-hr private walking tour with Roberta. She was delightful and very knowledgable about Venice. Our family of 5 just wouldn't have had the same experience in an unfamiliar city with so much history and sightseeing to offer.
Our guide was fantastic. Her knowledge of Venetian history was incredible. Skipping the lines made touring more enjoyable. She also provided excellent restaurant recommendations.
My family of five just returned from our wonderful trip to Italy. We only had 2 days in Venice so we wanted to see as much as possible in a short time. We decided on this tour and we are so glad that we did! Our tour guide Giusi was fabulous and her English was very good so my family was able to easily understand her. She has lived her whole life in Venice. Giusi brought a very local perspective to the history of Venice which you don't get from the self guided or the large group tours. She met us promptly at our hotel at 9:30 a.m. to start our 4 hour tour. Giusi navigated us through Piazza San Marco, Doge's Palace, and St. Mark's Basilica and we where wowed by all the beauty and history which she informed us about. We then went on an amazing walking tour through the city of Venice and explored areas which were away from the main tourist areas. My three teenage kids were captivated by all the great sights but were equally interested in hearing about Venice from the perspective of a local resident. We also enjoyed seeing some of the different residential areas and the piazzas where the locals spend time. This tour exceed all of our expectations and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. It was worth the extra money to have the private tour. If you can, request Giusi as your guide as she is great. This was an A+ experience.
Es una Experiencia muy recomendable para aprovechar al máximo la historia y los monumentos venecianos
Ho avuto il privilegio di conoscere un guida con molto carisma e passione verso la città di Venezia. Consiglio a tutti un'esperienza di questo tipo, nelle città metropolitane è molto difficile che si ripeta.
