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

Romy was excellent! She brought the history of Venice to life with a good balance between facts and anecdotes. The tour covered far more of Venice than we expected so we are canceling a different tour that we had scheduled for another day. So glad that we de used to do a private tour for our family rather than joining a group. Absolutely worth the money.

Thanks, Romy!

Sarah was awesome! Private tours are the best in this case. You learn the details, can customize your pace and not feel like you are rushing through checking boxes.

Absolutely magical day with Roberta in Venice. She is so passionate about her city, but also concerned that we were getting to see everything that we wanted to see. She was full of information and history and never tired of our questions. Highly recommend this tour!

It's Venice, what's not to love? But Roberta, our guide, made it extra special. She was full of history and passion for her city. She also made sure to confirm that we were seeing all of the things that we wanted to see. She delivered us to the Gondola dock with one minute to spare. What an expert! Highly recommend this tour.

Thought Mattie was very good. My complaint is that the weather was horrible. , tide was up and could not take the Gondola ride which was part of the trip. I thought I would get a credit for this but I did not. If you want me to use you again I would expect a credit for the part of the trip we could not go on. If that is done I will increase my rating to 5
