Venice is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in the world, as evidenced by the countless literary masterpieces that the city has inspired. It is for this reason that private tours to Venice are so popular, especially for those who want to experience the city’s infectiously romantic atmosphere. The floating city of Venice is best known for being built on water. In fact, no car can access the city and the canals take you wherever you want to go. Venice is made up of some 118 islands, interconnected with countless bridges and winding canals.

Private tours to Venice are even more enjoyable with at least a few hours in a gondola ride. These little canoes are ubiquitous in the city and are definitely the best way to get around, especially if you want a unique view of the city through the canals. That said, walking tours of the city’s centuries-old streets are also very common, especially for those who want to admire Venice’s rich collection of Gothic architecture dating back to the Byzantine and Ottoman periods. The Ducal Palace of Ca’d’Oro and the Cavalli-Franchetti Palace are just some of the must-see architectural wonders of the city.

Surrounded by water, it is not surprising that Venice is also a great seafood paradise. If you want to try a different side of Italian cuisine, Venice is definitely a great place to sample its seafood delicacies. The city is not without its fresh supply of fish, shellfish, and other shellfish favorites pulled from the nearby lagoons.

Private tours to Venice are also not complete without a visit to the island of Burano, which is one of the region’s most iconic fishing villages, known for its houseboats that paint a rainbow-colored backdrop for your excursion. . Another interesting island to spend a tour on is Lido or the Golden Island, which is best known for its private beaches and golden dunes.
