Not just visitors-only Venice

In Venice, where world-famous attractions like the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge attract travelers from around the globe, you could spend weeks ticking off an endless list of must-see sights. But on private tours of Venice with a local by your side, you’ll also be exposed to hidden gems and holes-in-the-wall hidden off the beaten track. On private tours in Venice with City Unscripted, we won’t limit you to the tourist traps. We want you to see the city through the eyes of a local – someone who knows it inside and out and understands its true spirit and soul in a way no visitor could.

Experiences tailored to you

Where would your ideal private Venice tours take you? Maybe you’ll bounce between world-famous landmarks, seek out the city’s best food at the old fish market, or perhaps you’d be the happiest spending a day off the tourist trail, stumbling across laid-back local hangouts with your guide. Whatever it is you want to see and do in the city, our local hosts will plan an itinerary tailored specifically to you. Before planning your private tours of Venice, we’ll get to know more about your personality and travel style, then craft an experience that’s fully personalized to suit you.

Fantastic half day in Venice with Davide. Like exploring on your own with no schedule or guide telling you what to do but an expert on hand for advice, information and insights on all the little details. Venice is a truly wonderful city and there are so many small details and hidden gems off the beaten track it’s the perfect place to have a private guide taking you where you want to go, moving at your pace and keeping you informed all the way. Thanks for a great introduction to this wonderful city, Davide.

Normally tours are boring, fixed and overload you with information you will never remember. His was the opposite in every respect - fresh, dynamic and engaging. Thanks for a great day, which made us feel like welcome guests rather than tourists

Had a 4 hr am tour of Venice in late April. Our guide Edoardo was very knowledgeable about the city, and had interesting information about trends, activities and products that would further enhance our experience. In particular, he informed me about spritzes made with the Venetian drink bitter "Select", and I also bought a bottle in Dufrey on the way home.
