Experience Day Trips in Venice with Withlocals

"Marzia showed us charming and beautiful locations on the islands we visited. The information was interesting and the tour of the glass factory was amazing - we would highly recommend this tour while visiting Venice."

"Nicoletta gave us a wonderful tour! First, she came to our hotel to save us from figuring out the vaporetto on our first morning in Venice and gave us a walking tour of the city. She had arranged a private boat to take us to Murano, where we got a private tour of the Signoretti Glass Factory. We got to see Alex Signoretti (the master) creating a piece. (We bought something and got a picture with him, but this wasn't necessary). Nicoletta then took us to Burano and we got to walk around seeing the beautiful colorful houses. We also went to a local lace place and saw how they worked. We got a snack together and then took the public vaporetto back to Venice. It was a great day! We highly recommend Nicoletta!"

"as a true local marzia was engaging and informative she took us to a fantastic murano family gallery where we got to buy pieces directly from from the artist (an advantage marzia has of working in the trade) i suspect we could have done an amazing "other neigborhoods that tourists dont see" trip based on some of jer comments but we didnt have a extra day i would recommend everyone to spend time with marzia"

"We began with a visit to Mazzarbo, followed by Burano and Murano. Loris gave us so much local history of Venice and the surrounding lagoons. After learning about the fascinating lace-making history of Burano, we had a leisurely lunch with delicious food, wine, and dessert before moving on to Murano where we were treated to a front-row view of one of the island's highly esteemed glassblowers crafting a custom order of drinking glasses. The private tour with Loris was the highlight of our trip to Venice and we highly recommend him!"

"What a great day in Venice with Genny.Informative, entertaining, and seeing places we would have missed without her local knowledge and contacts. Genny treated us like family so much so that we ended our day with a hug. Thanks so much,Genny , we will recommend you to friends travelling to Venice."

"Words cannot describe what an inspiring, amazing day our family had with Marzia visiting Mazzorbo, Burano and Murano. From the very beginning, Marzia was so engaging (perfect English) by sharing her experiences as a lifelong Venetian…with information about history, art, architecture, culture, key religious and political figures, and stories of these magical spots outside the main tourist areas of Venice. We stepped back in time to Venice’s earliest developments and made connections to current day. She was so gracious with wonderful humor as we explored these 3 islands with churches, homes, merchants (e.g., Burano lace and Murano glass) and food. Thank you Marzia….we cannot wait to return to Venice!"

"Fede took exceptional care of my mother and Aunt as she took them on an exploration of three different islands, each one with their own enchanting flavor. She customized the experience perfectly to suit their interest in glass blowing and everyone was delighted with the day. She's an exceptional guide!"

"Our tour of Murano and Burano with Adair was excellent. We had several tours on this trip to Italy and our private tour with Adair was by far the best. Extremely knowledgeable, and very flexible, Adair answered all of our questions, took us to some very cool places off the beaten path, and even helped with excellent restaurant recommendations and pointers on how to use public transport. Our entire group gave Adair a 10/10!"

"Knows his way around and well liked by all we came across, which is a great sign. Endless patience with our questions - and we came away with a new friend. Knows food, drink, art, history - everything. Outstanding! Thank you! Loris is worth every penny. But confusion over pricing for 2, not 4, left a bad taste, and it is just too expensive overall. This is not a reflection on Loris, but on the business model. Hesitant to use again. "

"Claudia was fabulous and so informative. We made contact before coming to Italy. Being a Venetian, she had so much knowledge of the islands and Venice as well. We really enjoyed seeing both Burano and Murano from a locals perspective. The glass factory and demonstration was really fantastic. She was kind, humorous and had wonderful recommendations. We really enjoyed our day spent with Claudia and would book her again if in Venice."
