Highly recommend this tour package for those who wish to explore the beautiful Dolomites as a daytrip from Venice. Our tour guide, Chiara was friendly and great. She ensured that the itinerary was fulfilled in a timely manner and provided interesting background for each site we visited. In total, the entire tour lasted from 8am-6.30pm including the commute to the sites which can be challenging but our bus driver, Sergei did an amazing job maneuvering the pathway without making anyone sick and loved the relaxing playlist!

At the meeting point, there were many groups, and I had to ask each one to find mine. I was on the three-island tour, and there were many different tour packages within this group. So, on the way to the second island, it was important to listen carefully for the meeting time for my specific package. If I missed it, I could also ask the staff. On the first island, Murano, we watched glassblowing demonstrations and could also buy glass crafts. The second island was Burano, where we had lunch and took photos with the colorful houses. The third island, Torcello, was very peaceful. There was enough time to explore each island without feeling rushed. The tour guide on the boat was very diligent in explaining things, but unfortunately, the boat's noise was too loud, so it was hard to hear. There were also two different disembarkation points on the return trip, which required special attention.

It was basically a self-guided walk after the glass-making demonstration. It wasn't as lively as I had expected, and you can tell that both towns are slowly declining as these traditional artisan industries struggle to survive. In fact, very few young people want to learn these crafts anymore because the work requires years of dedication. In Burano, only about 20 women are said to still possess the traditional lace-making skills. Despite that, the museum is well worth a visit, as it provides valuable insight into the history of Venetian craftsmanship and helps you appreciate these remarkable artistic traditions.

Overall, there are no major drawbacks. Buying a gondola ride here is cheaper than just hailing one on the street, which costs 90 euros per ride. If you just want to experience it, this option is more cost-effective.

Very good experience. Highly recommended. Our tour guide, Frederica, was really nice and knowledgeable. We had ample time to ourselves. After the must-see activities, were able to explore, eat and shop around.

The tour was organized by City Wonders, a local tourist company. The meeting point is clear and easy to find. They sent you email and WhatsApp messages. The tour guide, Phillopo, also a local Venice man, took us to both venues. He was really informative and humorous to follow. The tour is definitely recommended.

We booked a day trip from Milan to Venice and overall it was a very good experience. The tour was well organised and easy to follow, making it a convenient way to see Venice within a limited timeframe. As expected with a day trip, time in Venice was quite limited, so the visit felt a bit rushed. However, we still managed to explore key areas and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the city. There was also some free time to browse and shop in the small traditional shop houses, which added a nice local touch to the experience. It is advisable to carry cash when visiting, as some of the smaller shops may not accept card payments. Overall, a worthwhile and enjoyable tour, especially for travellers short on time.

What to know before visiting Venice

Top Attractions in Venice

Doge’s Palace (Palazzo Ducale)

​Doge's Palace is a Gothic masterpiece that was once the seat of the Venetian Republic’s government. Inside, you’ll find grand halls, historic paintings, and secret passageways. Don’t miss walking across the Bridge of Sighs, which connects the palace to the old prison!

Basilica San Marco (St. Mark’s Basilica)

Located in Piazza San Marco, St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco) is one of the most beautiful in Italy. Its golden mosaics, domes, and marble floors reflect centuries of Venice’s wealth and art. Climb to the balcony for great views of the square.

Peggy Guggenheim Collection

If you enjoy modern art, don’t miss the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, one of the top modern art museums in Venice, Italy! The building itself was once Peggy Guggenheim’s home, giving it a cozy, personal feel.

Canal Grande (Grand Canal)

The Grand Canal is Venice’s main waterway, lined with palaces and bridges. Hop on a vaporetto (water bus) for a scenic ride through the heart of the city, passing landmarks like the Rialto Bridge and Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo.

Piazza San Marco (Saint Mark’s Square)

Known as Venice’s living room, St. Mark's Square is filled with history, music, and stunning architecture. Visit in the early morning or evening to enjoy it with fewer crowds. You can also visit Mark's campanile to admire Venice from above!

Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge)

The Rialto Bridge is one of Venice’s most iconic bridges. It’s a great spot for photos, souvenir shopping, and watching gondolas glide beneath. Visit at sunset for the best light over the Venetian Lagoon.

San Giorgio Maggiore

Across from St. Mark’s Square, this peaceful island is home to a church designed by Andrea Palladio. Climb its bell tower for a quiet view of the Venetian Lagoon and the red rooftops of the city.

Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo

Famous for its spiral staircase, this small palace offers one of the best rooftop terraces in Venice. The climb is short, and the view over the canals and San Marco district is worth it.

Santa Maria della Salute

Santa Maria della Salute sits at the mouth of the Grand Canal and can be seen from almost anywhere in Venice. Inside, you’ll find impressive paintings by Titian and stunning domes that shine in the sunlight.

Tips before visiting Venice

1. Visit early or late to avoid crowds

Venice can get crowded, especially around San Marco and Rialto Bridge. Plan to visit main attractions early in the morning or later in the evening. You’ll enjoy a more peaceful experience and better photos.

2. Bring comfortable shoes

You’ll walk a lot in Venice since there are no cars. Wear comfortable shoes for walking tours along narrow streets and bridges. Water-resistant footwear is handy, especially if visiting during high tide.

3. Use public transport wisely

Water buses (vaporetti) are the easiest way to explore the Venetian Lagoon and reach Murano or Burano. You can also use Google Maps to check routes and schedules.

To make your trip even smoother, book your Venice Pass through Klook for easier access to public transport and top attractions around the city!
