Itinerary
Visit the heart of the city, one of the most magnificent public squares in the world, surrounded by some of Venice’s most significant buildings: St Mark's Basilica, the Campanile (bell tower), the Doges Palace, which was once the administrative centre of the city.
Rialto Bridge is one of the architectural icons of Venice and one of the most visited tourist attractions of the city. It is a stone arch bridge over the Grand Canal and is the oldest bridge in Venice.
One of "the most famous and renowned landmarks in the history of Italian theatre"
Hidden in the center of Venice, unknown to most tourists, is a spiraling “snail” staircase that winds up the tower-like facade of a historic palazzo. It was so unique at the time it was built at the very end of the 15th century that it’s responsible for naming both the palace it’s attached to and the entire branch of the Contarini noble family that lived there.

They provided awesome information about the Venetian culture and food. Would highly highly recommend organizing a tour here. They managed a group of drunk 20-24 year olds very well 😎
Suzanne was an excellent tour guide. Her knowledge and personality were very engaging to our group. Y
Elisabetta, our tour guide, met us at our hotel and took us on a wonderful walking tour of Venice. We visited all of the highlights and she was very knowledgeable. She shared the history of Venice with us in a way that appealed not only to me, but my 18 year old daughter. She also personalized the tour and let us explore a few of the shops that caught our eye. Her willingness to be flexible made all the difference and my teen, who was not overjoyed I had booked a morning walking tour, was very happy with the tour and experience. Thankyou Elisabetta and Viator for a wonderful introduction to Venice!
terrible experience. we had negotiated a private guide for clients who had already been confirmed and paid for a few months and only 10 minutes before departure they warned us with a whatsapp that the guide would not be able to go. we try to call and they don't answer, we write to get clarification and the manager doesn't answer, in fact she even turns off her cell phone. I tried to talk to her but she never responded personally she only sent whatsapp. We are still waiting for her return of money.
Hello, We truly think that you wrote a review for the wrong tour/activity and the wrong company. We are sorry, but all our tours are private, so you don't have to negotiate in order to have a private guide. We never received such a request. What you wrote doesn't correspond to anything regarding us. We only use Whatsapp when the messages sent through Viator get no answer or when the clients don't answer our calls. And, we Don't have a manager, we are a group of licensed guides, so once again, we strongly believe that maybe you are referring to something else, not our group. We didn't receive any bookings with these requirements. In addition, just to let you know, the refunds are made by Viator, and we haven't received any refund requests yet. Best regards
Elisa was amazing, she was knowledgeable and so kind! We went to all the best wine spots and tried some delicious cicchetti. 😊
We spent a long weekend in Venice. Elisabetta was our guide durning our stay. We could not have asked for more. We had an amazing time!
We’ve done a few tours with Elisabetta and just loved every moment- full of knowledge and such a beautiful presence
