# Venice Private Walking Tour with a Local

**Guidekin's take:** 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. Entrance fees for you and the host are extra, so keep it to streets and campi unless you budget for museums. 4.61 from 147 reviews at €55 per person.

## Overview

Skip the standard sightseeing tour and discover Venice through the eyes of a local.

With Lokafy, every tour is private, unscripted, and personalized to you. Your Lokafyer is a passionate local who shares stories, hidden gems, and authentic tips you won’t find in a guidebook. They aren’t professional guides with memorized scripts, they're locals who love their city and want you to experience it like a friend would.

Whether you’re interested in food, art, history, or simply exploring the neighborhoods beyond the tourist spots, your Lokafyer will adapt the walk to your interests. By the end, you’ll feel at home in the city, with insights to keep exploring on your own.
