Tours in Venice

108 tours in Venice, from €12 to €580 per person, average rating 4.8 based on 76690 reviews.

Every one of the 108 Venice tours here was picked by hand: we read every listing and kept only those rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €12 per person for a priority visit of the basilica with a host to €580 per person for a full day with a private driver through the Prosecco hills. Tours in Venice split into three kinds. On foot it is the palace and the basilica with a guide, walks off the main routes, cicchetti at the bacari and cooking in a local kitchen. On the water it is gondolas, motorboats and the lagoon islands. The rest leave for the day to the Dolomites or Verona.

A quick way to choose: on a first visit pair the palace with its ticket and a gondola, and give the islands their own half day. Guided tours of Venice inside the basilica ask for covered shoulders and knees, most walks leave entrance fees and drinks to you, and some day trips start from the mainland. Prices depend on the date and your party size. The best reviewed tours in Venice come first below.

Viator lists 1,990 tours for Venice. Guidekin lists 108 of them, chosen by rating (4.5★ or higher, 30+ reviews), each one read and summarised.

Frequently Asked Questions

Book the palace and basilica walk with reserved tickets first; take the gondola as the shared half hour bundled into several of those walks, and give Murano and Burano their own half day by boat. Palace/basilica listings: median 3 hours; Murano/Burano category: 4.5 hours. Gondola category: 18 listings, ride sometimes optional. Legendary Venice: from €71 per person, 4.71 from 5,991 reviews. Both entry tickets are included; terraces need the terrace option. Cover knees and shoulders, bring photo ID and allow for security checks. No wheelchairs or strollers.

Choose the Basilica & Doge's Palace Guided Tour with Gondola Ride for both entry tickets. At the basilica, cover knees and shoulders, carry photo ID matching the booking and allow for security checks. The palace and basilica category has 26 listings, median €105 per person. St. Mark's Basilica & Doge's Palace Guided Tour with Gondola Ride: from €101 per person, 4.62 from 1,282 reviews. Timed tickets and guided visits to both sights are included, plus a shared gondola. The booking name must match government photo ID.

Choose Venice's Best for a shared gondola with palace and basilica entry. A private walking tour does not by itself promise a private gondola; the boat arrangement must be explicit in its option. Venice's Best: Basilica, Doge's Palace, Gondola & History Gallery: from €99 per person, 4.7 from 3,397 reviews; both entry tickets and a shared gondola are included. The 3 per-group listings in this category are photoshoot packages, with median €297 per group, not a standalone gondola fare. Divide a package's group price by your party size.

Budget €95 per person for a city tour or €116 for a day trip, using catalogue medians. Private per-person listings have a median of €122. The catalogue median is €95 per person; the middle half spans €69 to €134. Shared and private medians, €95 and €122, are a spread between different products, not a premium. Exclusive Private Venice Food Tour with six or ten tastings: from €122 per person as listed, 4.72 from 607 reviews; the base option has six tastings and requires two to book.

Give Murano and Burano half a day for the boat and island stops. Reserve a full day for the package that also adds St. Mark's, the Doge's Palace and a gondola; it is a different itinerary. Category median: 4.5 hours, including city combos. Venice Islands, Murano & Burano: from €25 per person, 4.75 from 2,341 reviews; boat and glass demonstration included. St. Mark's & Doge's Palace, Gondola and Islands: €187 per person, 4.63 from 1,060 reviews; both entry tickets included, lunch extra.

Take a cicchetti walk to eat bar by bar through Cannaregio with wine and a spritz; take a cooking class to make pasta and tiramisù and eat it at the table. Both replace a meal and fit into half a day. 18 food tours, median €95 and 3 hours; 6 cooking classes, median €97 and 3.5 hours; 2 food tours are operator-marked accessible, none of the classes. For example, Venice Bacaro Food Tour: Eat and Drink like a Venetian: from €69 per person, 4.87 from 1,448 reviews; at least four aperitivo stops in Cannaregio with drinks, the from price is a deal tier for two, drinking age eighteen. Authentic Venice Home Cooking Class: 3-Course Meal & Wine: from €105 per person, 4.86 from 394 reviews; a hands on three course meal with wine and recipes to take home, the dinner tier needs two to book, lunch on a dearer tier, no pickup.

Start with the 15 operator-marked accessible tours for mobility needs. The Sunset Jazz Catamaran accepts strollers and is operator-marked accessible; confirm boarding with the operator. 58 of 108 tours accept strollers and infants; 15 are operator-marked accessible: 2 of 8 boat tours, 7 of 32 private tours, none of 18 gondola tours. For example, Sunset Jazz Catamaran Cruise with Aperitivo and Live Saxophone: from €80 per person, 4.81 from 305 reviews; marked wheelchair accessible with strollers accepted, one drink included. Private or Semi Doge's Palace & Saint Mark's Basilica Guided Tour: from €199 per person, 4.97 from 421 reviews; marked wheelchair accessible, strollers accepted, skip the line into both sights, the from price is the semi private tier and a private tier for two costs more. Filter first, then confirm with the operator.
