We were in Venice with a larger tour group, but decided to hire a private guide to fill in some free time without replicating activity already on our agenda. Monica worked around our existing agenda to come up with an interesting walking tour and show us places we wouldn’t have otherwise gone to on our own. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Her English was excellent. She also steered us to a restaurant we wouldn’t have found on our own, which turned out to be fantastic. We highly recommend her.

Itinerary
The Rialto Bridge is the oldest of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy.
Teatro La Fenice is a historic opera house in Venice, Italy. It is one of "the most famous and renowned landmarks in the history of Italian theatre" and in the history of opera as a whole. Especially in the 19th century, La Fenice became the site of many famous operatic premieres at which the works of several of the four major bel canto era composers – Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi – were performed.
In the heart of Venice, Campo San Zulian has been a lively gathering place since medieval times, once filled with markets, festivals, and daily Venetian life. Its name honors Saint Julian the Hospitaller, and the elegant facades around you reflect the wealth and prestige of the families who lived along this important route between Rialto and St. Mark’s Square.
Piazza San Marco, often known in English as St Mark's Square, is the principal public square of Venice. The Patriarchal Cathedral Basilica of Saint Mark, commonly known as St Mark's Basilica is the cathedral church of the Patriarchate of Venice; it became the episcopal seat of the Patriarch of Venice in 1807, replacing the earlier cathedral of San Pietro di Castello. It is dedicated to and holds the relics of Saint Mark the Evangelist, the patron saint of the city.
The Doge's Palace is a palace built in Venetian Gothic style, and one of the main landmarks of the city of Venice in northern Italy. The palace was the residence of the Doge of Venice, the supreme authority of the former Republic of Venice. It was built in 1340 and extended and modified in the following centuries. It became a museum in 1923 and is one of the 11 museums run by the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia.
The Bridge of Sighs is a bridge in Venice, Italy. The enclosed bridge is made of white limestone, has windows with stone bars, passes over the Rio di Palazzo, and connects the New Prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. It was designed by Antonio Contino, whose uncle Antonio da Ponte designed the Rialto Bridge. It was built in 1600.

Mónica was an amazing guide and so knowledgeable, I will recommend her dearly, she made our experience better
I cannot recommend this tour enough. Monica our tour guide went above and beyond in order to cater towards myself and my husband who had just flown in on that day. She was friendly, and extremely knowledgeable - a born storyteller. I was captivated by the history of Venice and thanks to Monica walk away feeling there are places I want to explore more a knowing several aspects of history within Venice. Such an amazing experience - cannot recommend it enough. I would recommend this to be towards the start of your holiday here in Venice.
Valentina was amazing and very patient with our teen sons. She was very informative and helpful in general with our questions.
Light to moderate walking at our own pace. Great overview of St Mark’s, Doge Palace and Venice! Rossella Was excellent!
Informative, interesting, intriguing . A true snapshot of life in Venetian culture delivered by a true Venetian.
We booked an early morning tour for two hours. Michele the guide was brilliant. He was very knowledgeable, a local who had grown up and lives in Venice. He took us to lots of hidden parts of Venice and we avoided all the crowds. It was so worth doing!

The guide Barbara was amazing, she explained the things really well, she was friendly and knowledgeable, she took us around Venice and we never got bored we enjoyed every single minute of this tour. Highly recommended.
We fell in love with Venice. The weather was perfect so we enjoyed the sun while walking around the city. We never got bored listening to the guide talking about the story of the city and the little fun facts. It was a great experience and it gave us the opportunity to both enjoy the day and learn new things.
Wonderful tour in Venice and would highly recommend to see all the hot spots. Our tour guide was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. It was so nice being guided around personally in such a beautiful place...Will definitely be back. Thanks so much for a great day.
We loved our tour with Emanuel. He took us to authentic Venetian neighborhoods and shared interesting history that engaged both my 11 and 14 year olds (not easy!). He also provided a great general overview of Venetian history and key landmarks. Highly recommend.
Great tour with our tour guide Barbara. Perfect pace, not rushed, time for questions and pictures. Toilette break, coffee break and lots of history facts.
Venice is one of the most beautiful city we have ever visited. The tour was perfectly organised, the pace was enjoyable and the communication with the tour operator was quick and clear. Highly recommended.
