Venice Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We had an excellent Murano and Burano tour with Flavia. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire experience. She shared fascinating information about the history, culture, and traditions of both islands and made the tour interesting and enjoyable.Flavia was also very attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. Her friendly personality and expertise made the tour truly memorable.We highly recommend Flavia to anyone visiting Venice and looking for a knowledgeable and professional tour guide. Thank you, Flavia, for a fantastic experience

Our toy guide Lorenzo grew up in Venice, so he was able to give us so much inside information with a personal touch. Lorenzo was knowledgeable and thorough and very friendly. We learned so much about the different areas of Venice that we never would have experienced if we were just wandering about on our own. I would highly recommend this tour and Lorenzo. Also, he gave us a great restaurant recommendation for lunch that only the locals go to and we had a terrific lunch after our tour.

Interesting information about Murano glass making with time to shop. Burano lace is beautiful and the island is very charming!

This was our last night in Venice before heading to Milan and can honestly say it was a magnificent way to finish our time in Venice! The crew were warm friendly and welcoming making sure everyone was comfortable with their chosen seats! The jazz player was brilliant and really set the mood for the trip! With a welcoming drink and plate of cincetti each it was an amazing evening! Bring cash as bar is cash only!

Beautiful unique opera. Amazing singers. Chairs could be more comfortable though.

Marco was a great guide. The tour was very informative and enjoyable. We had 6 people in the group which we found was much better than large tour groups.

Excellent activity. Starts off with static explanation of why Venice is where it is. Then steady walk around. All well explained. Guide (Stephano) took many questions and answered them all. Quite a pace with a lot to see Prebooked gondola slot Gondola is 30 min trip on grand canal then some small canals. This is much cheaper than a full separate gondola ride. Only downside is sharing the gondola with 2-3 others. Overall good value and a good orientation start. Recommended

The staff is quite friendly, the Timeslot at 18:00 (In September) is great, you truly get the full sunset.The music is also great!

Alex/Alessandro was wonderful! He’s not only a proud born-and-bred Venetian, but a history teacher for over 30 years. Everything was seamless as he led us through the highlights and fascinating details. He also gave us extra time, which we very much appreciated!

Great experience, down to earth, very friendly. We were two adults and two kids (9 & 11). Perfect length of time to learn about glass and see some of it in action. Being only 8 people, it felt intimate and unique

Lovely time, great music, the period costumes wonderful, the hosts were very gracious when I accidentally booked the wrong night, and exchanged my tickets easily.

great artists, historic costumes

A 5-10 minute walk from St. Marco's Square. Very entertaining opera, well done, excellent vocals, beautiful old home. Loved the prosecco as well.

Beautiful way to spend the evening. No need to get too dressed up. But, do be mindful and wear respectable attire, shorts not recommended. Wear cool clothing as it is a little warm in the church. The performance was outstanding. It is about an hour and half long. Well worth it!

A fantastic concert in a beautiful church. Breathtaking performance talented musicians truly enjoyable. Would go again

We absolutely loved this sunset tour! It was so amazing !!! Tomasso, our skipper, was super friendly, knowledgeable and fun! We truly enjoyed every second of this Venetian boat ride! The sunset was gorgeous. So glad we decided to spend our first evening in Venice doing this tour. So worth it!
