What people love about Veneto Tours
- Walk The Prosecco Hills & Hidden Venice
We loved everything about our trip, from the pre-trip information, airport transfer, our wonderful guide, the hotel, the delicious meals and prosecco/wine tasting, the walks, and the group of folks we met on the trip. The trip was well organized and well planned. Our guide, Serena, was the best. She always had a smile on her face and explained everything well. We would certainly do another similar walk/tour with her and this company.

Best tour companies for Veneto tours
Three excellent tour operators stand out for Veneto trips, based on what our travelers tell us. TourRadar gets consistent praise for making everything run smoothly from start to finish. The bike and boat tours from Hooked on Cycling are particularly popular - their customers love staying on the comfortable barges and mention the high quality of both the food and guide service. When it comes to local logistics and quick responses, Dolomite Mountains really delivers. They're especially good at handling all the small details that make a big difference during the trip. Our travelers often mention how well-planned their routes are, and the guides demonstrate deep knowledge of the region's culture, history and landscape. What makes these companies work so well is their attention to detail - from picking just the right hotels to timing the daily activities. The guides don't just lead the way; they share interesting stories and local insights that you wouldn't get on your own. Plus, they're good at adapting the pace and stops to match what the group needs.

Small Group
7 tours in VenetoOur small-group tours through Veneto deliver authentic experiences that keep things intimate and personal. The Venice itinerary opens doors to special moments, like private after-hours visits to St. Mark's Basilica, where evening lights illuminate the ancient mosaics. Between Venice and Mantua, our travelers consistently praise the bike and boat combinations, particularly guides like Hugo and Sonja, who share local knowledge while cycling past wild flamingos and traditional fishing communities. The Venice hidden corners tour takes you to Doge's Palace before the crowds arrive, then leads you into residential neighborhoods where few tourists wander. We balance structured activities with independent exploration - you might start with a morning glass artisan visit on Murano, then have time to discover Burano's rainbow-painted houses or find an authentic bacaro for wine tasting. The small group format lets us stay flexible, making stops at local cheese producers, taking extra time in the scenic Po Delta and adjusting our pace to match what interests the group most.
Private / Personalized
15 tours in VenetoPrivate tours let you set the pace while keeping authentic cultural experiences. The cycling routes through Veneto adapt to your preferences - you might want to focus on nature in the Po Delta or spend extra time in medieval towns. Wine enthusiasts can dedicate more time to specific areas - from traditional Amarone producers in Valpolicella to small family Prosecco makers. Our guides adjust each day based on what interests you, perhaps adding a Venice mask-making workshop or spending more time at a family grappa distillery in Bassano del Grappa. Walking tours through Padua and Vicenza can include visits to private palazzos and also art collections usually closed to the public.
Top Veneto travel itineraries to fit your plans
The 7-day tours through Veneto offer really solid variety in terms of cycling and hiking. From Abano Terme, you can cycle through volcanic hills and visit medieval spots like Arqua Petrarca, following old waterways to reach Padua and Vicenza - places that showcase Venice's influence through their architecture. Wine lovers often pick the route from Venice through Prosecco country into Verona, where our customers particularly like how the guided cellar visits mix with free time to explore Conegliano, Valdobbiadene and also other wine towns. For mountain enthusiasts, the Dolomites route from Cortina d'Ampezzo includes daily 5-hour hikes to Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Sorapis Lake and also Falzarego Pass. You'll stay in comfortable 3-star hotels each night with proper hiking support throughout.
Ten days in Veneto lets you really get to know the region at a good pace. These tours start in Milan with exclusive access to da Vinci's Last Supper before moving to Verona for lunch at a historic wine estate. In Venice, you'll visit Doge's Palace early morning when it's quiet and get special after-hours entry to St. Mark's Basilica. Our travelers tell us they love having both guided tours and independent time to explore Chioggia's market, Murano's glass workshops and also the natural Po Delta waterways. The schedule works well - instead of rushing between places, you can join local life with morning coffees in Burano or evening walks along Venice's quiet canals.
Demographics
Solo travelers find a good balance of group time and personal space on our Veneto tours. The bike and boat trips naturally attract independent travelers, with shared meals for socializing and private cabins for downtime. Many solo guests mention how much they like having guided morning activities in Venice and free afternoons to wander. Walking tours through Padua and Vicenza offer similar flexibility - join the group for main attractions then branch off to find local cafes and markets on your own schedule.
Couples gravitate toward tours mixing culture with quiet moments together. Several routes include special evening experiences like private St. Mark's Basilica visits or gondola rides when Venice feels most intimate. Wine tours through Valpolicella and Prosecco country are especially popular, with tastings at family vineyards and dinners in historic cellars. Our couples often say they enjoy having structured morning activities then afternoon freedom to explore together - maybe finding a quiet canal restaurant or walking Burano's colorful streets away from busy areas.
Young adults tend to pick active tours with social opportunities. The bike trips draw an international mix of travelers, making it easy to connect while cycling Venice to Mantua or around the Euganean Hills. You'll stop for cultural experiences - from cheese-making demos to medieval town visits - with free evenings to check out local bars and restaurants. The Dolomites hiking routes also appeal, combining proper mountain trails with nights in villages where you can try regional dishes with your group.
Senior travelers appreciate well-paced itineraries balancing activity with ease. River cruises provide a comfortable base while exploring Venice's islands and the Po Delta - join guided walks or relax on board. Tours linking Venice with Verona work well too; you'll visit major sites like Doge's Palace early morning and have afternoons free to explore independently. Our older guests particularly value guides who share deep historical context about places like Padua's ancient university or Vicenza's Palladian buildings.
Family trips in Veneto work well with bike and boat combinations. The flat cycling routes between Venice and Mantua let kids spot flamingos in the Po Delta while parents take in the culture at each stop. Our families tell us the boat acts as a stable home base, which helps everyone settle into a good routine. The guides are skilled at adjusting the pace for younger riders and make local history interesting - whether that's exploring Chioggia's fish market or watching glass-makers at work in Murano.

- Summer 2025
The bike and boat tours between Venice and Mantua naturally draw summer visitors, with flat cycling paths winding through the Po Delta where flamingo colonies gather. Our travelers consistently mention guides like Hugo and Sonja, who share deep local insights and expertly time activities around peak heat. Evening gondola rides in Venice take full advantage of long summer days, while morning walks lead through quiet neighborhoods before temperatures climb. Several cultural routes combine early access to Doge's Palace with afternoon explorations of Murano's glass artisans, and also Burano's vibrant lanes. The cycling groups particularly value their floating accommodation, which provides a cool haven after rides with exceptional Italian dishes from onboard chefs. Our routes feature carefully planned paths with support vehicles close by, and guests often mention how much they value visits to local cheese producers, traditional fishing communities, and also medieval towns during quieter evening hours.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall creates ideal conditions for getting active and cultural in Veneto. Cycling tours around Venice and the Po Delta benefit from pleasant temperatures and fewer tourists - there's space to properly explore Chioggia's morning fish market and also the peaceful streets of Pellestrina island. Our cultural circuits combine Venice's essential sites with wine experiences in Valpolicella, where autumn means grape harvest time and also local festivals. Venice really shines for walking tours in fall when morning mists create perfect photo conditions and crowds thin out, letting you take time in the Doge's Palace and also discover small local bacari wine bars.

What makes Veneto so special compared to other parts of Italy?
You know what's amazing about Veneto it's got everything from those incredible Dolomite mountains to the peaceful Lake Garda and that magical Venetian Lagoon all in one region. It's really unique because you can go from hiking in the mountains to relaxing by the coast then exploring these incredible historic cities full of art and culture all in one trip.
What about those special places that tourists usually miss?
You've got to check out Chioggia it's like a mini Venice with canals and bridges but so much more relaxed than the main city. Then there's Bassano del Grappa with its beautiful wooden Ponte Vecchio bridge and amazing grappa production it's just packed with local culture but without the crowds.
