Exceptional Venice Tour with LivTours – Sara Made It Unforgettable - We had an exceptional experience in Venice on the Private Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica tour with LivTours, led by our guide Sara. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent, ensuring everything was clearly coordinated and easy for our family of four. Sara’s English was exceptional, clear, fluent, and easy to understand, which made the entire experience smooth and engaging. What truly set her apart was her deep historical knowledge combined with her ability to tell stories in a way that brought Venice to life. Rather than just presenting facts, she shared meaningful context, local insights, and engaging narratives that made each stop memorable. As a third-generation Venetian, Sara provided a unique and authentic perspective that you simply cannot get from a typical tour. Her personal connection to the city added depth and authenticity to the experience, giving us a much richer understanding of Venice’s culture and history. She was professional, personable, and incredibly passionate about her city. This tour was one of the highlights of our time in Venice, and we highly recommend both Sara and LivTours to anyone looking for a truly immersive and informative experience. Highly recommended!

Perfect Venice Tour - We had an absolutely marvelous time with Filippo!! He was so kind and informative. We unfortunately had travel delays and he was patient and gracious and still helped us see and learn so much in our shortened time. Filippo also helped us find some delicious pizza along the way! We were blown away by how fluent, friendly and informative Filippo was. We felt like we finished the tour having made a friend! We highly recommend a private tour with Filippo, as we felt like we had a full and fun day from a locals perspective!

An unforgettable family-friendly Venice tour where an expert guide turned history into a fun, engaging adventure that ke - What an amazing day! We were looking for a tour that allowed our family of five to see the sights of several of Venice’s most iconic tourist destinations. We got that and more. All our children are under 10 and as everyone knows keeping their attention is difficult. We wanted our kids to enjoy these historical sights, learn something and above all be entertained. They got that in spades and I can tell you it was because our expert guide Chiara, treated her tour like a moving classroom. With facts, laughter, tips and tools she kept us moving, educated and most importantly kept our children engaged and enthralled. Prepared for everything, she had pictures and fun exercises to help bring the history of Venice to the level of three young, eager minds.

Consider Yourself Very Lucky If Nico Is Your Guide! - I don’t think you will find a better tour guide than Nico! He is enthusiastic, brilliantly knowledgeable, and fun to tour with. Ask any question, no matter what civilization or time period and he will know the answer.

Family all-day tour of Venice and Murano with Nico - It was the first time in Italy and Venice for our family of four. Our tour-guide Nico was born in Venice and knew all the highlights in the city as well its rich history. He met us first thing in the morning in the town square, walked us through a food market before showing us the Rialto, we also toured the Doge’s palace, StMarks square and Basilica di San Marco where Nico walked us through the history, culture and architecture of each landmark - weaving in stories and anecdotes to add color and and keep things interesting even for my teenage daughters! We ended the day with a tour of a factory - Massimiano Schiavon in Murano. We watched them make a beautiful vase in under an hour and saw these amazing phosphorescent.vases in their showroom. The narration from Alex one of the staff there was lively and engaging. The water taxi rides to and from were also smooth and the flat waters didn’t cause any issues with motion sickness. All in all- a really fun and informative tour by Nico from Liv tours. Highly recommend!

Great family trip in Venice - We did a private family tour with Valentina and enjoyed the time very much. We were traveling with three small children (1.3 and 7 years old). The guide has found just the right mix of explanations for the adults and fun with the children. The two hours were very entertaining.
