A private 4-hour Venice loop hitting Doge’s Palace, St Mark’s Basilica, and the Grand Canal by motorboat, with skip-the-line access.

“We did the 5 hour tour with Lorenzo and he was amazing. It was about 95 degrees out on the day of our tour and he was very sensitive about the heat with our group of three. He was extremely informative about the history of Venice and balanced that well with some fun and laughter.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 239 reviews · from $164

Skip-the-line St. Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace plus Rialto and a 30-minute gondola ride in one 6-hour guided day.

“Firstly, our tour was moved to the following day due to low numbers, but they compensated us with an additional tour of Murano & Burano! Christina was our tour and had plenty of info for us to digest :) The tour of Venice’s Piazza & Palace was wonderful with our great guide who took us back in time! We finished off with the gondola ride and were blessed by being the only two in it. Such a great way to see Venice. Such a great day for a couple of Aussies from across the pond ;)”
