About this tour
Spend six hours with Lucia, a local art historian, exploring Venice at your own pace on a fully customised private tour. Meet at your accommodation and chart your own course through the city—whether you want to visit museums, glide through canals by gondola, stumble upon hidden gardens, or discover palazzo interiors known to few visitors. You'll navigate like a Venetian rather than a tourist, stopping wherever your curiosity leads. A special map is yours to keep.

What to expect
You'll start from your accommodation and work with Lucia to finalise which sites matter most to you before the tour begins. The six hours are yours to shape—whether that means lingering in a single museum, taking detours through backstreet neighbourhoods, or booking a canal ride on the spot. Lucia shares insider knowledge about Venice's art, history, and hidden corners as you move through the city. Expect real conversation rather than scripted commentary. Museums and attractions cost extra, but are entirely optional based on what appeals to you.
Good to know
Lunch isn't included, though Lucia can recommend spots. Museum entry fees and gondola rides are additional costs. Confirm specific stops via message after booking. The tour is wheelchair accessible, prams welcome, and suitable for all fitness levels.
