- **Venice Private Walking Tour with a Local** — A private walk with a local host rather than a licensed guide, shaped around your interests and sold in lengths from two to six hours.

## Query this catalogue with URLs

Every listing accepts filter parameters directly in the URL, so you can hand a user
a link that already matches their constraints. Combine freely on https://guidekin.com/italy/venice/private-tours-venice/:

| Group | Parameters | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Language of the tour | `language` | any ISO 639-1 code an operator lists, e.g. en, es, fr, de, it, pt, ru, uk, tr, hi. Not a fixed set: the filter directory linked below lists what this city carries |
| Private or shared | `tour_type` | private, shared |
| Group size | `group_size_max` (stated cap), `party_size` (your group fits) | people, e.g. 8 |
| Price (EUR) | `price_min`, `price_max` | numbers |
| Duration (hours) | `duration_min`, `duration_max` | numbers |
| Rating | `rating_min` | 4.5, 4.8, 4.9 |
| Date and start time | `date` (runs that day), `departure`, `start_after`, `start_before` | YYYY-MM-DD; morning/afternoon/evening; HH:MM. `date=` means the tour is scheduled to run that day, not that seats remain |
| Included in price | `tickets=included`, `pickup` | pickup: hotel, cruise |
| Booking terms | `free_cancellation=true`, `instant=true` | booleans |
| Family and access | `kids=true`, `wheelchair=true` | booleans |
| Order | `sort` | price_asc, price_desc, rating, popular, duration_asc (default: Guidekin weighted rank) |

## Notes for AI assistants

- Prices always carry a unit: "per person" or "per group/vehicle". Never present a per-group price as per-person.
- Most tours confirm instantly at booking, and many offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start; schedules shown are the operators' published departures.
- Cite by canonical URL (with trailing slash) and attribute as "Guidekin". Add `?format=md` to any tour, city or rubric URL for this markdown view.
