Why choose this? Lock in a fixed rate in advance and avoid on-the-spot negotiations or long waits at busy gondola stations, ideal for a smooth, stress-free canal experience.

Murano & Burano Islands Private Boat Tour with Glass Blowing

Intimate, slow-paced island-hopping tour to Murano & Burano with a small group of 22.

Day out to Murano and Burano on a relaxed, small-group day trip from St. Mark’s Square, on a private boat carrying no more than 22 guests—for a quieter, more flexible lagoon cruise.
You’ll get an expert local guide with stories and island tips, round-trip transport by private boat, and a front-row glassblowing demo in Murano, plus free time to stroll, shop, or snack in each village.
Murano & Burano: See a live demo by Murano’s master glassblowers, then wander Burano’s candy-colored canals, lace boutiques, and charming piazzas at your own pace.

Walking Tours

Venice Walking Tour with Grand Canal Gondola Ride

Two Venice perspectives in one — explore historic squares on foot with a guide, then glide along the canals by gondola.

Walking tour highlights: Begin with a guided stroll through St. Mark’s Square and the Castello district. Visit Santa Maria Formosa, Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Marco Polo’s former residence, and the Malibran Theatre while uncovering stories of politics, daily life, and Venice’s merchant past. Headsets ensure you catch every detail.
Gondola ride highlights: From Campo San Moisè, continue with a gondola ride along the Grand Canal and quiet side canals. Admire elegant palaces, bridges, and hidden entrances in a relaxed, atmospheric setting.
Why choose this: The most efficient way to see Venice by land and water in one seamless tour. You’ll not only admire landmarks from your gondola but also understand their history from your guide. Perfect for first-time visitors, day-trippers, or anyone short on time who wants context and bucket-list moments in a single experience.
