Private Venice Tour: St. Mark's Walking Tour & Basilica Exploration with Skip the Line Tickets
Begin your unforgettable journey with a captivating one-hour guided walk of St. Mark's Square, the heart of Venice. As you stroll through this iconic space otherwise known as piazza San Marco, your expert guide will share stories and insights into the fascinating history of the surrounding buildings, the palaces, monuments, and sculptures.

With your skip the line tickets, immediately delve into the history of this architectural marvel, appreciate the intricate mosaics, ornate decorations, and gilded ceilings, and learn about the sacred relics housed within its walls. Your guide will also point out the basilica's most notable features, including the world-famous Pala d'Oro altar screen and the priceless bronze Horses of St. Mark.

Continue your Venice Private Tour with a Private Boat Tour in Venice
Following the guided walk, board a luxurious motor-launch for a private one-hour boat tour along the Grand Canal, Venice's main waterway, and the picturesque minor canals that crisscross the city.
You may think that a private gondola ride is the way to go, but let us assure you that a typical Venetian motorboat is far more apt for getting around and escaping the crowds!
Experience the splendor of Venice's waterways as you glide past elegant palazzos, historic bridges, churches, and bustling markets. Your knowledgeable guide will provide fascinating insights into the history and significance of the landmarks you encounter along the way.

Private Hidden Venice Walking Tour: Discover all its Secrets with your Private Tour Guide in Venice
After the private boat tour, set off on a two-hour stroll through the Hidden Venice, exploring lesser-known areas that showcase the city's authentic charm. Wander through a labyrinth of back alleys, quiet squares, and meandering canals, with a great guide to help you discover the real Venice that tourists rarely experience. Your guide will share stories of local traditions, customs, and legends, as well as pointing out hidden architectural gems and notable sites along the way.

While the suggested itinerary above is ideal for first-time visitors, our knowledgeable guides are happy to modify the tour to include other locations or experiences, such as the Jewish Ghetto, Marco Polo's House, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, or other areas in Venice, according to your preferences and interests. Let us know your desires, and our friendly local guide guides will craft a unique and memorable tour tailored to your needs.

Ketty is an awesome tour guide! She’s very knowledgeable about Venice and its history and answered all of our questions. We toured St Mark’s plaza and basilica (skip the line!), Rialto Bridge, and additional canals and alleyways in between. The private motor launch was the frosting on the cake. Ketty was flexible and did her best to accommodate us.
