22 tours · €14–€450 per person · ★ 4.8
A Venice walking tour is the way to leave St Mark's Square behind, and the 22 here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €14 per person for a shared walk from San Marco to the Rialto, to €450 for a private day that adds skip the line entry to the basilica and the Doge's Palace. Between them sit small group walking tours of Venice, two hour circuits of the quieter corners, and private walks built around you.
A quick way to choose: read what the price covers, because the plain walks stay outdoors and leave entrance fees to you, while the combos include timed tickets and a guide inside, so most of the gap is the tickets. Several walks pause on days of exceptional high tide and move to the next morning, private tours are priced per person with a small cap, and hotel pickup comes only with a few private options. Knees and shoulders must be covered where a route enters a church. The best reviewed walking tours in Venice come first below.
