Fantastic walking tour—an engaging way to experience Venice beyond the usual sights. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and brought the city’s history to life with great stories. Loved exploring hidden alleys and learning local insights. The Murano Glass Factory tour was amazing—watching the craftsmanship up close was truly memorable. Highly recommend for anyone visiting!

We had a very well-organized tour of Venice and Murano using skip the line at St. Mark's basilica and visiting by private cab a beautiful glassworks in Murano. We also did funny tour through the maze of streets. Recommended.
Thanks, it was a pleasure to meet you Paul.
It's not easy to figure out which is the best Venice tour on TripAdvisor, but we found this one perfect for us: hotel pickup, customized itinerary, skip the line to Saint Mark's basilica, and a leisurely boat tour to visit a beautiful glassworks in Murano . We recommend it! The skip the line for the basilica of Saint Mark was very appreciated.
I am glad that you liked the visit. This year we are including the skip the line for Saint Mark's cathedral. F. Pagotto veniceartguide.it

At a time when the city of Venice was super crowded, we chose, once again, to visit the Venice lagoon without stress by relying on a local professional and avoiding the long lines to transport!
Grazie per essere ritornati a Venezia!
