Early Morning Venice – Private Tour by Friendinvenice
Description
There is nothing more magical than experiencing Venice in the early morning, before the crowds arrive and the city slowly awakens. At this quiet hour, you can truly feel the authentic soul of Venice: empty calli, peaceful canals, soft morning light, and the daily rhythm of local Venetian life beginning once again. During this private experience, we will enjoy a coffee alongside Venetians and discover some of the city’s best traditional pastry shops, far from the typical tourist atmosphere. This is not simply a tour, but a chance to experience Venice at its most authentic, peaceful, and beautiful moment of the day. Venice in the early morning is not just something to see — it is something to feel.

If you like learning about the history of cities, architecture, and many more fun facts about the city, this is the best tour you can take. Nadia and her assistant tour guide, Davide, did an excellent job showing me around the city. There is a deep, rich history about Venice… this tour will provide you with a lot of this history. You will go off the beaten path, into the areas that are not busy. Doing this enriched my connection with the city. In some areas, it did get a bit touristy; however, the path you go has a specific reason. You see a glimpse of the tourist areas and then you go back into the hidden areas of the city… it was great and I would highly recommend a tour with A Friend in Venice. Not only will you get a one-of-a-kind perspective of the city, but you sure will leave with a friend in Venice.
Dear James, thank you for choosing friendinvenice to discover Venice. A city so special that deserves to be visited in a special way, off the beaten path by tourists. Venice is so rich in art and history that I like to personalize the tours and make my friends feel at home. I am glad to have been able to amaze you but even more glad to have met you. Everyone complains that Venice is very crowded; the truth is, they don't want to explore it. I simply helped you to be a traveler and not a tourist . Thank you for writing your review. I really liked it and you will surely help me to meet other friends like you, curious, nice and simple, Warm Regards, Nadia & David
Nadia greeted us with open arms and gave us such a wonderful experience in Venice! First class tour!!
A truly lovely morning with Nadia; we were shown sights and told stories of Venice that we would not have enjoyed without this excellent tour. If you want to understand Venice, take a private tour with Nadia. She has passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge that is generously shared.
Venice ha two souls,one for short-sighted tourists and onothe for travelers like you ,who love to discover,get to know . My secret is to let you see Venice ..See more with such serenity Have fun together Grazie Baci baci Nadia
Nadia who was excellent guide collected us from our Hotel near the Rialto bridge showing us parts we had never visited before on our previous Four visits......finishing up with a pot of tea in a delightful secluded garden. We still have more interesting tours that we note and Nadia will be a first call
The success of my tours depends on you. Meeting nice, happy and satisfied people helps me a lot ... so the credit is all yours .I can only thank you for choosing me and enriched with your ability to interact the best successes are achieved by teaming up Grazie Mille Nadia
In just two hours, Nadia was able to take us on a backstreet visit of Venice and impart some of her vast knowledge of the architecture, history, and pride for which her beautiful city is renowned. She made us feel as if we were Venetian.
We were picked up early by Nadia. Myself, my husband, my sister in law and her companion were whisked off by private Water Taxi to the Islands of Murano and Burano. I cannot day enough good things about this fact-filled, off the beaten trail, in-depth tour of these magical islands. Our first stop was at The Mazzega Glass Factory where we had a private tour of one of the few remaining Glass Artisans. Glass Blowers had the oven fired up and showed us how those amazing glass creations are blown. Ennio Allowed us to speak to an amazing artist, peruse the different showrooms and tour the museum.simply amazing and stunningly beautiful. We walked then to a nearby cafe’ in a downpour, arrived wet and dripping, where we were treated to a relaxing coffee and brioche. Nadia then gave us the History of Venice. Stuff I did not know, and still cannot fathom. Then a tour of an Ancient Chursh, Santa Maria. A beautiful architectural marvel. Off to Burano we went by private taxi, quite thrilling, I must say. Burano , with its painted, colorful houses was enchanting. Another in depth tour where Nadia guided us through narrow streets revealing a kaleidoscope of colors. We visited an authentic lace shop where we splurged on one of a kind handmade items. Then we had lunch at Il Gato Nero( additional our own expense) which was absolutely marvelous. You need to have Nadia show you Venice and her Islands. She will unlock the secrets and leave you with memories for a lifetime!!
Since we didn't have a lot of time in Venice, having a private tour was a good strategic choice. Nadia was very knowledgeable and was able to make it 'fun' for our pre-teens.
Our tour with Nadia was the highlight of our stay. We learnt so much and enjoyed discovering the history and culture of Venice. Nadia skillfully navigated us through the enchanting hidden lanes telling us all about the way Venice was built and how people lived. We thoroughly enjoyed her friendly relaxed approach. We would highly recommend to others.
A guide from Florence suggested Nadia, and we were very impressed. She made it fun, personable and showed several gems around Venice. We felt like we were with our long lost Aunt, highly recommended.
