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 information than it is on the internet or your guide book. 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, there is, but how about:
English local guides you can contact via the website www.toursbylocals.com. These English speaking guides are all local living in Venice for years or just residing 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.
They all give unique tours through different neighborhoods in Venice and Lido or to the islands of Burano - Murano. The tours in Venice often have groups of up to 8 people, and you can see this as a great private tour with your family/group through Venice. The hourly rate differences a lot.
Then I often get the question...
Then I always give a tip to do the "Secret Itineraries Tour" in the Doge's Palace. These are exclusieve 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. The costs are approximately EUR 54 per person. This seems like a lot, but it is an exclusive guided tour, and you don't have to queue.
That is comfortable anyway because that line can sometimes be a hundred meters long. And on a hot day, that is almost impossible to bear. Buy your tickets for the Secret Doge's Palace Guided Tour >

What I also find unique is the island opposite the Doge's Palace in the lagoon. Here you can see the bell tower of the island of San Giorgio. You can visit this tower from EUR 3 -.
The buildings on the island of San Giorgio can be visited during the weekend with a guided tour. You will then see the "Fondazione Giorgio Cini" the culture retains its place for Venice. It costs approximately EUR 10 for the guided tour.
You will see some objects by the composer Vivaldi, other artists, and tour the maze garden. Examine if the unique tour of San Giorgio is for you. More details >
