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

My almost 11 year old son and i loved our tour with Tullia. From our first minutes together we started learning all about Piazza San Marco and the history of Venice. One day obviously doesn’t do this city justice, but Tullia expended endless amounts of energy and knowledge to bring the city to life. Starting with the piazza, the basilica and the Doges palace, and then on Murano for a demo of glass making. Grazie mille, Tullia!

Appreciated all the local insights that Nico shared about the Venetian culture and history. Our day was so much more enriched by having him as our guide.

Nico was a fabulous tour guide! He added more knowledge and enjoyment to our experience of Venice than we could have learned on our own. He has extensive knowledge of the city and its customs. We covered everything from history to life in present-day Venice. We tried to soak up every bit of knowledge he shared with us. We all agreed that it wouldn’t have been nearly as good an experience just seeing these sites on our own. It was so enjoyable spending the day with him! Venice and Nico were the perfect combination for us!
