The best Venice night tours & experiences with locals

A fairytale floating city linked by 400 bridges, Venice’s sparkling waters become even more bewitching when the sun sets and the city lights start dancing on its surface. Venice at night, when the canals clear out and crowded streets become quiet, is a totally unique experience. On Venice night tours with City Unscripted, you’ll see a storybook scene come to life. The nightlife attractions here are anything but raucous – Venice at night is quieter than many of its European counterparts, content to spend an evening sipping wine at a tiny tavern or feasting on appetizers in a cozy restaurant. Spend a night like a Venetian with us, and experience it all for yourself.

Meet some of our Venice local hosts

Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.

We’ve handpicked them and we’ll match you to your perfect one!

Not your average nightlife scene

If you think a great night out can only be had in a pulsating nightclub or crowded bar, let Venice at night prove you wrong. The city likely won’t win any awards from lovers of rowdy revelry, but Venice’s nightlife still has plenty of things to do to keep night owls occupied well into the wee hours. The city doesn’t need a 24-hour party scene to give you a memorable night out – Venice night tours are perfect for live music, moonlit strolls, convivial chatter, and lengthy dinners. With your guide to show you the hotspots and hidden gems, the real Venice is yours to discover.

Tourists exploring Venice during the golden hour at the start of a night tour

All the must-sees minus the crowds

As one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, Venice is seldom not crowded with visitors moving between the city’s iconic landmarks on sun-dappled streets and gliding along in gondolas. While nudging through the throngs during the day is a struggle, Venice night tours are ideal for exploring the sights at your own speed. In Venice at night, maybe you’ll see a near-deserted St. Mark's Square, stroll along a quiet Ponte di Rialto, or admire landmarks lit-up against the night sky. And when you’re done? Sipping a quick spritz is the perfect way to end Venice night tours.

Tapas at twilight

With so many after-dark attractions, you don’t want to get caught in a tourist trap – let us show you where locals spend their time. Venetian food is some of the best in Italy, so why not take our Venice night tours as an opportunity to try out the local cuisine? If you’re looking for authenticity, you’ll find it at a bacaro – a Venetian-style tapas bar serving small plates paired with Veneto wines – where the menu changes every hour and there’s not an English word in sight. Most Venice night tours are best begun here, rubbing elbows with the locals and trying some unique Venetian bites.

I asked some help to organise for handbook rental+visit of main palace and traditional lunch. My guide Ilona was adorable with my daughter and able to manage through the unplanned events.

I had very limited time in Brussels and my requirement was rather vague - I want to see as much Brussels as possible in one day before leaving for a flight that night. Sean was absolutely fantastic - he was very accommodating to meet me earlier to maximize our time together and I really do feel I have seen a lot of Brussels in six hours. It was a very special day for me as it was my actual birthday and I’m so glad I got to spend it with Sean (and considering I was operating under 2 hr of sleep for the past few days, Sean definitely kept me engaged and I was utterly enjoying the experience). He’s very knowledgeable and easy going - it’s evident that he truly loves the city and wants to share it with as many people as possible. I think it’s very likely that I’ll come back and spend more time here as a hub for going to other places in Europe. Best experience I could have asked for - and don’t forget to stop at Mary to buy chocolate souvenir.

Yana was very knowledgeable of Barcelona’s history, restaurants and architecture. She was punctual and picked us up at our hotel. We took an interesting walk through several districts. Yana was nice enough to give us a list of restaurants to try. Overall a wonderful tour.

Our guide Ilona was spectacular with my daughter (6year old) and I was able to manage when things did not go 100% per plan. I really enjoyed the peace or mind of not having to worry how to get to places especially in a country like Korea where is not so straightforward Respond to review
