GUIDED TOURS VENICE

Suggestions for Venice tours and sightseeing
with a professional licensed tourist guide

Every visitor to Venice experiences the city in a different way. That is why we offer  the visitor a selection of aspects, depending on personal preferences and   based on the "building block" principle. On this basis, we will create a personalized, attractive and informative  tour of Venice, according to individual wishes, which can take the visitor to the most important sights in Venice or to the quiet, secret corners of the lagoon city. Alternatively, on request, we develop programs as introductions, specializations, etc., entirely based on clients' interests.

Our tours are based on the principles of sustainable tourism. As locals, we know that tourism can also be problematic for the places visited . We counteract this  by a wide variety of ways to adequately experience this city, which is unique in the world.
Our tours are in German, English and Italian and are always private , i.e. you book us exclusively for yourself and your companion(s)/travel party.

Our tours can take place together with the Venice visitor in real time, or they can be conducted as an individual virtual tour in live stream or by video conference, with  the visitor located  anywhere in the world.
