👋 Who We Are: The People Behind the Magic
At Tour Leader Venice, we’re not just guides — we’re storytellers, local experts, and travel companions who treat every guest like a friend. Our team includes licensed guides, boat captains, drivers, and artisans, each one committed to showing you a side of Venice that most travelers never see.

Behind every tour is a simple promise: authenticity, comfort, and excellence.
🌉 Why a Licensed Local Guide in Venice Makes All the Difference
Venice isn’t like any other city. There are no cars, no straight streets, and no shortcuts — only bridges, canals, and stories. That’s why having a Venice local guide is essential. Our guides are officially licensed by the City of Venice and authorized to lead tours inside historical landmarks like the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica.
With them, you’ll uncover the city’s many layers — from the grandeur of its past to the intimacy of daily Venetian life. You’ll walk away not just with photos, but with a deeper understanding of what Venice truly is.
Our guides combine academic knowledge with lived experience. They grew up here, they know the local artisans, and they’ll tell you stories that don’t appear in any guidebook. When you explore Venice with us, you see it through Venetian eyes.
🚤 What We Offer: From Classic Tours to Custom Adventures
At Tour Leader Venice, we don’t sell tours — we craft journeys. Each experience is designed around you: your interests, your time, and your sense of adventure. Here’s a taste of what we can create together.
1️⃣ Venice City Tour — Discover the Soul of the Floating City
This is where every Venetian story begins. Our essential Venice city tour introduces you to the highlights — the Grand Canal, the Basilica of St. Mark, the Doge’s Palace, and the Rialto Bridge — while guiding you into the quieter backstreets where real Venetian life unfolds. It’s history, architecture, and local life all woven into one unforgettable introduction.
2️⃣ Venice Walking Tour — Hidden Gems & Local Secrets
Step off the main paths and explore Venice’s soul. This tour is for travelers who crave authenticity — who want to know where locals buy their bread, how ancient crafts survive, and what legends still echo in narrow alleys. We’ll visit artisan workshops, hidden courtyards, and lesser-known churches that even many Venetians overlook.
Pair it with our Cicchetti & Wine Tour for the ultimate mix of culture and flavor.
3️⃣ Venice Boat Tour & Riva Yacht Experience
Venice was built on water — and the best way to experience it is from the deck of a Riva yacht. Glide through the lagoon in timeless style, Prosecco in hand, as your captain and guide reveal the hidden beauty of the islands. This is the Dolce Vita version of Venice: elegant, serene, and cinematic.
Prefer something more traditional? Try our Venetian rowing experience — where you’ll learn to row like a true gondolier.
4️⃣ Venice Tour of the Canals with Private Boat
This one’s a best-seller for a reason. Your private boat glides through hidden canals that gondolas can’t reach, passing palaces, gardens, and peaceful reflections of daily Venetian life. It’s intimate, romantic, and perfect for photography lovers.
Every journey is narrated by your licensed local guide in Venice — blending history and storytelling as you explore the city’s watery heart.
5️⃣ Doge’s Palace & St. Mark’s Basilica — Skip the Line Private Tour
Two icons, zero waiting. Our skip-the-line private tour takes you inside Venice’s most magnificent landmarks with VIP access. Walk through gilded halls and secret chambers, cross the Bridge of Sighs, and gaze up at mosaics that shimmer with gold. Your guide’s storytelling transforms every step into a journey through time.
6️⃣ Venice Food Tour — Flavors of the Floating City
Come hungry! Our Venice food tour is a delicious immersion into local gastronomy. From cicchetti and Spritz to traditional seafood dishes, every stop tells a story of flavor and heritage. You’ll explore historic bacari, taste the day’s catch, and learn how Venice’s lagoon shapes its unique cuisine.
It’s more than a food tour — it’s a cultural feast.
7️⃣ Day Trips & Excursions from Venice
Beyond the lagoon lies a world of beauty. Our day trips showcase the very best of the Veneto region:
- 🌈 Murano, Burano & Torcello — glass, lace, color, and island serenity.
- 🎨 Treviso, Verona & Padua — art, romance, and history beyond the crowds.
- 🍾 Prosecco Hills — UNESCO landscapes, boutique vineyards, and sparkling perfection.
- 🏔️ The Dolomites — fresh air, alpine villages, and unforgettable panoramas.
All tours include private transfers, English-speaking guides, and complete flexibility — because we believe travel should be as effortless as it is inspiring.
8️⃣ Ferrari, Lamborghini & Pagani Supercar Experiences
Trade canals for curves. Our Motor Valley experiences let you live the Italian dream behind the wheel of Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Pagani. Visit the legendary Ferrari track, tour the Lamborghini factory, or admire the Pagani Atelier — all with private transfers from Venice.
It’s luxury, adrenaline, and Italian engineering at its finest.
9️⃣ Stress-Free Transfers
Arriving or departing Venice can feel daunting — but not with us. Our private transfer service includes everything from airport-to-hotel connections to cruise terminal transfers. You’ll be met by our team, assisted with luggage, and whisked away by private water taxi directly to your destination — no confusion, no stress, just smooth sailing.
🔟 Custom Tours & Bespoke Experiences
Your Venice should be unique — and we’ll make sure it is. Whether you’re planning a proposal on a gondola, a romantic photoshoot, or a private artisan workshop, we’ll design a moment that feels made just for you.
