Private Tours

Overview

Step beyond the postcard. Our private tours are led by art historians, master craftsmen and members of Venetian noble families who have spent their lives unlocking the city's quietest corners. From dawn walks across an empty Piazza San Marco to twilight gondola rides through the inner rii, every itinerary is shaped around your curiosity, pace and palate.

Walk through hidden calli with art historians, gondola makers and Venetian aristocracy. Half-day, full-day and multi-day itineraries, entirely tailored.
