Guidekin's take

A private walk through the centre with a local guide and a flexible meeting point, then half an hour in a private gondola for your party only.

Choose the shorter or the longer walk tier; no tickets or entrances are included, so museums stay outside the price. 4.97 from 97 reviews at €128 per person.

In our comparison: #5 of 22 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
