Venice the way Venetians see it
Arrive by water and spend four days in Venice at its own pace. Explore the quieter neighbourhoods with a private guide, meet the craftsmen who keep the city’s traditions alive, and see the lagoon by private boat.
Murano’s glass and Burano’s colours, a gondola at dusk and evenings in the bacari where Venetians stop for a glass. Easy to add to a longer trip, or to take on its own.

What our guests say
5/5
“The tour was great! Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny.”
5/5
“From Rome to Venice, we didn’t have to think about a single thing. It felt like travelling with friends who know Italy inside out.”
5/5
“We worried two weeks would feel rushed. It didn’t. Florence and Rome, then slower days on the Amalfi Coast. Worth every euro.”
