Not just visitors-only Venice

In Venice, where world-famous attractions like the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge attract travelers from around the globe, you could spend weeks ticking off an endless list of must-see sights. But on private tours of Venice with a local by your side, you’ll also be exposed to hidden gems and holes-in-the-wall hidden off the beaten track. On private tours in Venice with City Unscripted, we won’t limit you to the tourist traps. We want you to see the city through the eyes of a local – someone who knows it inside and out and understands its true spirit and soul in a way no visitor could.

Experiences tailored to you

Where would your ideal private Venice tours take you? Maybe you’ll bounce between world-famous landmarks, seek out the city’s best food at the old fish market, or perhaps you’d be the happiest spending a day off the tourist trail, stumbling across laid-back local hangouts with your guide. Whatever it is you want to see and do in the city, our local hosts will plan an itinerary tailored specifically to you. Before planning your private tours of Venice, we’ll get to know more about your personality and travel style, then craft an experience that’s fully personalized to suit you.

We booked a private tour via City Unscripted.it was worth every penny. Our guide,Benedetta tailored our tour perfectly, based on our answers to the questionnaire the company sent us at the time of booking. Benedetta was on time, friendly and spoke excellent English. She was able to answer all our myriad questions about the city and its history. She was a fount of knowledge and made the experience all the more enjoyable. We always book private tours in cities we have not visited before as you get a much more intimate view of the place and although it is generally a more expensive option, you get your money’s worth.

Great walking tour of Venice. Daniel did a good job of personalizing our experience. He had a great knowledge of the city and was kind enough to pick up at our hotel.
