Florence, Italy

Discover the beauty of Venice, one of the most unique cities in the world, on a private day trip from Florence. Accompanied by your own private guide, you'll enjoy personalized attention on your luxury private tour of magical, unforgettable Venice.

After traveling from Florence to Piazzale Roma and taking a local vaporetto (public boat; not included in tour price), you will meet your local guide in Venice's spectacular city square, Piazza San Marco. Your guide will then lead you through the mysteries of St. Mark's Basilica, with its marvelous mosaics and celebrated bell tower. You'll pass the exterior of the Ducal Palace and cross the famous Bridge of Sighs, then take a stroll along the narrow Venetian lanes.

After lunch in an elegant Venetian restaurant (optional at your own expense) near Piazza San Marco, you will have free time to explore Venice at your leisure, before returning to Florence in the late evening.

This in-depth, hassle-free private tour is hosted by an English-speaking guide. Please list any special interests you have (art, architecture, history, culture) at the time of booking to alert your guide, so that he or she can prepare for your private tour.

It was a convenient and easy way to see Venice in a day. Expensive but worth it.

Perfect experience. Our driver was entertaining, the ride so comfortable and very safe even through a snow storm in the mountains. Our guide in Venice was knowledgeable and warm and gave a full experience.

This wasa great tour! Our driver was so friendly and knowledgable. The tourguide met us in Venice and gave us a private tour. She was just delightful and knew so much about Venice. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was absolutely wonderful! Our tour guide was outstanding. She showed us parts of Venice we never would of seen on our own along with historical information that helped us truly appreciate the people and the place. Highly recommend. Was well worth it.

Friendly driver and comfortable Mercedes sedan. The 3 hour drive each way is a price you have to pay, but it's worth it if you want to mark Venice off your bucket list. The good news is that I think all you need is a half day to get most of what Venice has to offer, and you avoid the really high costs of staying in a Venice hotel.

It was a long drive. Although we ordered a car for 4 people the driver arrived with a car for three people. He called to complain, but we ended up driving in the smaller car. The guide was informative, but not a creative presentor. She was helpful. It was a long day for a short time in Venice.

This is a must!! We were given a private car and driver that picked us up at our hotel and took us right to Venice about 3 hours from Florence, worth it, the drive was amazing - Tuscan scenery the whole way . We were given a private tour guide who took us all through the back streets of Venice then to the main places. She then left us to do our own thing for a while. We had to take the 2 boat ride each back to the car that drove us back home. It was so private, special and beautiful. Take this tour!!!!!!!
