The Best Tours in Venice Italy? Guides in English.

Look, I like it so much because you automatically get some extra information about the city by getting tours in Venice, Italy. Often, much better news than it is on the internet or your guidebook. Not only do you go to the tourist spots, but you can go along routes where you would never have been otherwise.

Of course, the Doge's Palace or the Basilica can also be booked with a guide. Even then, a tour with a guide makes it a unique experience. And you wonder if these tours are in English? Of course, Venice has it all!

Tours in Venice

English local guides can be contacted via the website www.toursbylocals.com. These English-speaking guides are all locals living in Venice for years or just outside the city. You know for sure you will get quality tours in Venice. They all preserve a lot of knowledge about art and culture.

Unique tours through different neighborhoods in Venice and on the island Lido or to the islands of Burano-Murano. The tours in Venice often have groups of up to 8 people. Great to book also when you want to have a private tour with your family/group through Venice. 

Then I often get the question...

Visit with childeren in venice italy the doge palace

…Tips to do with children in Venice?

Then I always give a tip to do the "Secret Itineraries Tour" in the Doge's Palace. These are exclusive tours in Venice that are not open to everyone.

It will take you to the prison where Casanova used to be and also the torture chambers.

You can now pre-book such a tour of the Doge's Palace. Buy your tickets for the Secret Doge's Palace Guided Tour > The costs are approximately €15 per person.

This seems like a lot, but it is an exclusive guided tour, and you don't have to queue. That is comfortable because that line can sometimes be a hundred meters long. And on a hot day, that is almost impossible to bear.
