It’s no secret that Venice is one of the most unique destinations on earth, and our private Venice tours are the perfect opportunity to step off the well-trodden tourist trail. Once you’ve seen iconic sights like St. Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace, it’s time to explore parts of the city usually reserved for locals. Historic bridges, cobbled streets, and winding waterways guarantee unforgettable experiences in Italy’s most magical destination. Whether you have a full day or just three hours, we’ll make sure you experience the best of the city on private tours of Venice.

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 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.

Choose from a range of tours

From a must-see tour of the city’s most famous sights to our half-day and full-day private tours of Venice that give you a mix of highlights and hidden gems, our range of Venice private tours ensure every traveler is catered to. Just choose from our diverse range of experiences, and we’ll do the rest! Indulge in the local cuisine on our “Eat like a local in Venice” food tour, get a crash course in navigating the city on our “Kickstart your trip to Venice” experience, or choose our secret gems tour to discover lesser-known landmarks only locals know about – the choice is yours to make.

We had such a wonderful time with Marco on our trip to Lake Como. He was very communicative prior to the trip about what we wanted to do and timing. He had several options depending on our interests so it was great that it was personalized to us. It was myself and my mother in law for the day and he organized the train travel and ferry schedules. He was very knowledgeable about the cities around Lake Como and had some great stories but was also so easy to talk to to pass the time on the train rides. He gave us some great recommendations for dinner and shopping we took advantage of! Would very much recommend Marco and this private experience.
