Venice Shaped Around You
A private Venice tour dedicates a guide exclusively to your group — the sestieri, the churches, the palazzi, the food, and the water transport are customised to your interests. Venice’s labyrinthine geography (six sestieri connected by over 400 bridges, with no cars and no clear sightlines — even experienced visitors get lost) makes a private guide particularly valuable for navigation, for discovering the hidden campi (squares) and calli (alleys) that the tourist flow does not reach, and for managing the water transport (vaporetti, water taxis, gondolas) that replaces the road-based transport of every other city.
