Private experiences in Venice, tailor-made
The experiences we arrange for our clients every day: the lagoon on our boat, the artisans of Murano and of mask making, the bacari with people who know them, days out of town with our driver. We build them around your dates and your pace, with guides and artisans we work with.

Frequently asked questions
What private experiences can you do in Venice?
Among the most requested: the lagoon by private boat (Murano, Burano, Torcello), a glass furnace in Murano, a mask-making workshop, a bacari tour with a guide, a private visit to St Mark's and the Doge's Palace, and days out such as Valpolicella or the Dolomites.
Are the experiences private?
Yes: they are designed for you and your group, at your pace. The boat and car are ours; guides, artisans and wineries are partners we work with.
Can we combine several experiences in one day?
Yes, and that is the advantage of having boat and car with us: for example Murano in the morning, lunch in Burano and back to the hotel by boat, or a winery in Valpolicella and dinner in Verona.
How far ahead should we book?
A few days is enough for most experiences. During events (Carnival, Biennale, Redentore) and for guides and dinners in palazzi, write to us earlier.
How much do they cost?
It depends on the experience, the number of guests and the transfers. We send you a proposal with the price of each item before you confirm.
What experience would you like?
Dates, guests and what interests you: we reply with a proposal.
