What people love about Venice Tours
- Classical Italy
It was an interesting and fun-filled experience. The lively group and the rich history of the cities on the Classical Italy tour is truly amazing!
- 5-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice
The tour is a must if you have only a few days to see the high points of Italy. I loved every minute. I chose standard accommodation and wished I had chosen the upgrade for room and meal quality on two occasions but the rooms were clean and spacious. Everything else was quite fine. It’s clear Nicole loves her career in tourism and her attention to details was fantastic. I’ll bring my family next time, same tour and I’ll request Nicole again as it was brilliant.

What our customers ask about Venice Tours & Trips
How crowded does Venice get during peak season?
During peak months (June-August) and Carnival in February Venice transforms into one of Europe's busiest destinations. By 10 AM key spots like St. Mark's Square and Rialto Bridge fill with tour groups and day-trippers. The less-visited neighborhoods of Dorsoduro and Cannaregio provide breathing room for travelers seeking a quieter experience. Accommodations in areas like Mestre or the Jewish Ghetto such as Staycity Aparthotels offer easy access to main sites while providing distance from the crowds. A simple strategy: plan visits to major attractions for early morning or late afternoon when foot traffic naturally thins out.
What are the best areas to stay in Venice for first-time visitors?
San Marco serves as an ideal base for newcomers to Venice putting major landmarks within walking distance. The Hotel San Cassiano exemplifies the classic Venetian hotel experience. Cannaregio appeals to travelers seeking local character with its mix of authentic restaurants and quiet canals. Budget-conscious visitors often opt for Mestre on the mainland where modern hotels provide regular water taxi connections to the historic center. The rooms in European hotels tend to run smaller than American counterparts but charm and location often make up for size.
How many days should I spend in Venice to see the main attractions?
A 3-4 day stay allows visitors to experience Venice's essential sights without rushing. This timeline comfortably fits visits to St. Mark's Square and Basilica the Doge's Palace a gondola journey and day trips to the glass-making island of Murano and colorful Burano. Most guided tours build in structured sightseeing along with free time to explore. The Hotel San Cassiano located directly on the Grand Canal provides a central point for daily excursions while maintaining easy access to water transportation.
What are the must-try local food experiences in Venice?
Venetian cuisine centers on fresh seafood and cicchetti (local tapas) found throughout the city's traditional bacari wine bars. The historic Rialto Market presents the day's catch while nearby bars serve small plates of local specialties. Key dishes include risotto al nero di seppia made with squid ink and baccalà mantecato a creamed cod spread. The Hotel Delfino in Mestre connects guests with food tours that highlight family-run establishments and traditional recipes passed down through generations.
What are some unique local experiences in Venice that go beyond the typical tourist attractions?
Venice reveals its authentic character in the workshops of Dorsoduro where artisans craft masks and maintain centuries-old gondolas. Morning visits to the Rialto Market show locals selecting fresh produce and seafood while Burano's lacemaking traditions continue in small studios among its rainbow-colored houses. The Hotel San Cassiano housed in a 14th-century palazzo demonstrates how historic buildings adapt to modern use while preserving their original character. Some of the best experiences come from simply wandering the back streets where small restaurants serve traditional cicchetti in authentic settings.
What's the best time of year to visit Venice?
Spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) offer the most pleasant conditions for exploring Venice. These months bring mild temperatures fewer crowds and better rates on accommodations. Summer visitors face temperatures up to 85°F (29°C) along with peak season crowds and prices. The shoulder seasons allow for comfortable exploration of the city's narrow streets and waterways. Many tours during these periods include special access to sites like after-hours visits to St. Mark's Basilica or tastings at the Venissa Vineyard on Mazzorbo island.
