1.Morning Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 705 reviews · 1 - 1.5 hours · from $29Our pick

Early Venice streets with headsets and big sights explained outside. Walk San Marco, doges burial church, Scuola Grande, Mercerie for $29.

“I really like the way the tour was organised. The audio device was the best idea as it would have been impossible to hear a single word once the crowd increased. I also like that the tour started before the crowds so atleast half of it was a nice walk. The guide was a woman with short hair, sorry that I forgot her name. She made the tour interesting and gave some very good past and present anecdotes. As a complete new tourist in Venice this tour gives a nice insights into the wonderful stories of Venice.”

2.Morning Venice Lagoon Cruise: Murano and Burano Islands

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 357 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $36

4-hour Venice lagoon cruise to Murano and Burano with glass and lace demos, colorful canals, and a live guide, for about $36.

“The tour only gave us short times on both islands Murano and Burano (approx an hour in each) but we only had 2 days in Venice so it suited us. The Glass blowing at Murano would have been interesting if we could have seen what was happening but too many people for that unfortunately. The glass shop attached was extortionately priced but that’d to be expected and you don’t have to buy. It was nice to see that island but Burano was much nicer. That was a beautiful island and well worth seeing. There was a guide on the boat just to point out various landmarks which is all you…”
