Essential Tours of Venice Italy
The best tours of Venice Italy selected by an insider - me Maria!
Walking tours, gondola trips, St. Mark’s Basilica, and even a creepy ghost tour—I have it all! But first...
Exploring Venice takes time. Even visiting only the top attractions in Venice can take a few days, particularly during the peak summer months. During July and August you may need to stand in line for many hours just to get into places like St. Mark's Basilica.
Standing in line is something I really hate. I'm very impatient and fiery, or so my husband says! One long line is enough to drive me crazy for the rest of the day.
For this reason, the tours of Venice featured on this page are a very good idea.
Particularly if your time is limited, one-day tours are ideal. I mean, you really don't want to spend those few days you have in Venice standing in line for hours and hours. These tours stop that from happening; they will allow you to see all the top attractions in Venice without having to waste any of your valuable time standing in line.
All the tours are in English and led by extremely knowledgeable and highly professional guides. I'm not the guide, but don't worry, the guides are nearly as nice :)
Whether you wish to be serenaded on a gondola or prefer simply enjoying an informative walking tour of Venice, you should find something to suit both your taste and budget.
The tours I offer are all done in association with Viator, one of the world's most respected tour operators.
