Overview

Ready to experience a side of Venice like a local, with a local? This is a tour, unlike any other! If you want to take a step away from the touristy path, there's no better way than by diving into the city's alternative side. Welcome to Dorsoduro!

If you're done with the main highlights, why not step away and take a less-traveled path that will show you an unexpected side of Venice? Follow a local guide on a private tour full of surprises and check out Campo Santa Margherita and Isola San Giorgo, and more that let the true form of the city shine!

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
