4 Hours Private Venice Northern Gems Murano Burano Torcello Tour

Highlight of our Venice trip

The "Venice and Northern Gems" tour was the highlight of our Venice trip. Francesco was an exceptional guide, showing us all around the area aboard his beautifully restored classic Venice work boat. It was really special to see and learn about sections of the lagoon that we would not have seen otherwise. We absolutely recommend!

Venice Lagoon Islands Tour to Mazzorbo Burano and Murano

Wonderful tour with an amazing guide

We had so much fun on this tour. Valerio took us to some great spots off the beaten path in each of the three islands. We got to have Burano pretty much all to ourselves which is unheard of. The glass making demonstration in Murano was also really interesting. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication and was very personable. He mentioned he prefers to work with small group sizes so it truly felt like a private tour, which we didn’t get from any of our other guides. He went out of his way to make our time feel memorable and special. He even went above and beyond and arranged for us to have a drink and small bites in Burano and dinner at a nice restaurant on our way back in Murano. I’ll definitely be recommending him to anyone I know going to Venice! The only thing I would say is it lasted more like 6 hours instead of 5 (the ferry on the way back takes quite a bit of time). Not that that bothered us, but some people might be on more of a time crunch and need to know. Be prepared for lots of waking (by no means am I complaining, it didn’t bother us one bit) and a fun filled day exploring the islands of Venice!

Full Day Luxury Riva Aquariva Venice Tour - VIP

A Very Memorable Day

I booked the Riva Aquariva "Dea" as a surprise for my wife. I knew she'd be ready for time away from crowds by our 3rd day in Venice. Luca and Il Capitano had Dea tied up a short distance from our flat. The vessel instantly commands attention and looked gorgeous berthed in the canal. Glamour aside, a private boat affords access to parts of the lagoon seldom seen by tourists. Luca organised a behind the scenes glass blowing (and bellinis) tour in Murano and an outstanding lunch at a famed restaurant in Burano. You can do some of these things with other tour guides, they just won't be as good. Luca provided historical context to the journey which was fascinating. Doing business with Luca and his team is about access. He booked us for a private tour with Paola for Doge's Palace and San Marco. She was outstanding. We had a travel plan mix-up on our last day and Luca produced a very nice car and driver to whisk us off to Trieste. You'll travel in style and with confidence when you choose ShoMe Venice Tours and their competent team. When is the next time you'll visit? Maximize the experience by surrounding yourself with good people.
