Discover the artistic heritage and commercial history of Venice on this private tour. Your friendly, English-speaking guide will answer all your questions and provide personalized insights so you can get the most out of your time. After meeting your guide in central Venice, head to the San Polo neighborhood for a visit to the famous Frari Church. Admire the impressive Gothic exterior, and then step inside to see paintings by Renaissance masters Bellini and Titian and an altarpiece by neoclassical sculptor Canova. 

Next, walk around the buzzing Rialto district, the historic hub of Venetian trade and commerce.

Great walking tour of many areas of Venice
Catherine_R
, Oct 2021
Barbara gave my friend and me a terrific tour that covered many areas of Venice, not just Rialto, San Polo, and I Frari. Because there were only two of us on the tour, it was tailored to us. Barbara knows Venice inside-out and was easily able to answer all our questions. Just to note: tour guides in Venice who provide outside tours are not permitted to provide inside tours. Therefore, this tour did not provide detailed information on the inside of i Frari. This is not a criticism of Barbara; it’s just how it apparently works here in Venice.

Our guide, Massimo, was simply wonderful: prompt, personable, knowledgeable and flexible, adapting to what we had already visited and leading us to interesting parts of Venice, that we would never have found on our own. Full marks for him.

A great tour which was quickly altered to suit our group and the previous experiences we have had in Venice (as I think our guide thought it was our first time). Lots of photo opportunities and I even managed to sneak into a shop and buy a handbag! A lovely tour, taken at our own pace with lots of information and interesting facts.

We really enjoyed this tour. The tour guide knew where everyone goes to shop and eat. The guide did seem a little puzzled at first when he read our voucher. Kind of like he didn't know what he was supposed to show us. A little disappointed that we didn't go into any of the churches listed. We just saw the outside of them. Seeing the fish and food market was great. Definitely worth doing.
