Private Venice In 1 Day Tours normally commence with an introductory walking tour of St. Marks lasting one-hour and including an in-depth tour of the interior of St. Marks Basilica, followed by a private one-hour boat tour of the Grand Canal and minor canals in a luxurious motor-launch.

Finishing the private boat tour of the Grand Canal in the Hidden Venice, the remaining two-hour walking tour will be a magical journey through a labyrinth of back alleys and meandering canals to discover the real Venice. Where tourists seldom visit, and where you feel as if time has stood still for centuries.

Surrounded by an open air museum, your expert English-speaking guide will lead you on a fascinating journey recounting the history of the areas you visit and their important buildings as well as stories & anecdotes about the Venetians themselves who made this city such a vibrant place to live.
