Our Offer:

Moving around for an independent Visit

I can reserve a touristic escort (local expert that speaks English) and that can help you with logistics needs. This is not a "guide" that provides guided tours with commentary, but a person that can assist you with organizing the day and  moving around efficiently. They would show you how to buy transportation tickets how to go from here to there, and essentially anything else that you wish to do.

The escort can meet you at the airport and then stay with you as many hours as you wish.

The cost for an assistant is as follows:

4 hours   EUR  160 

6 hours   EUR  240 

8 hours   EUR  280 

additional hours over the 8 hours EUR 25 per hour paid directly to the escort.

TRANSPORTATION  (will purchase tickets with assistant on site)

ALILAGUNA. From and to the Airport you can use water lines with the Alilaguna service, which is a private company.  They can be purchased here.

Here you can see the various lines. The  BLU line connects Airport then makes it's first stop at the Murano island. There is one at 9:30 that arrives in Murano at 10:00. Then from Murano you could take the BLU line al 11:30 that takes 15 min to reach the "Hospedale" from where you can take a pleasant walk with your escort, through the Venice alleys toward St Mark Square. 

To return back to the Airport you can take RED line at 6:10 from S. Mark that arrives at the Airport at 7:23 pm. Optionally you can return to the airport using the Orange line from Rialto Bridge at 6:35 pm that arrives at 7:32 pm. 

Contacted for group fare: FS#233369 - They say that you can buy the group ticket at the "Darsena" ticket booth (airport).  Go upstairs and follow the "water transport" sign. You will find a walking path to the "Darsena" area. You can go there with your assistant. If you buy the ticked there you can get them for a discounted price of EUR 10 each way.  Not available online. Also no discount is available for the 24h ticket.

Venice public transportation is run by ACTV water public transportation.  From the airport they have a bus to Piazzale Roma, or water line A and B.  They have a ticket valid 75 minutes from first use for EUR 7.50 and  a 24h ticket for EUR 20.00.  SEE ACTV water bis lines map.  See ACTV line routes. 

Guided Walking tour 

Your need 2.5 to 3 hours to see the things you have listed. We can reserve an official guide for 3 hours for a private guided tour of the sites you have indicated (Campo San Polo, Rialto Bridge, Market area, Grand Canal to st. Mark square, bridge of signs, bell tower, Basilica of S. Mark and Dodges Palace).

NOT BOOKED Visit of Murano for the Glass Blowing factory tour EUR 7.00 pp

You can reach Murano with public transportation. Once there we can have a visit of a beautiful glass factory with a glass blowing demonstration:

The demonstration with explanation lasts 25 minutes. Following this, customers can access the showroom on the first floor. The structure is particularly beautiful as it used to be a former church. The first floor looks like a showroom / museum.

Demonstration to start at 10.10. The location is at a convenient  2 minutes walk from the "Colonna" water bus stop.

Take the BLU line at 11:30 to leave Murano and reach to the main Venice area at "Hospedale" stop, from there you can walk with your escort  through the Venice alleys toward St Mark Square (15 min non stop walk time, but it will take much longer as there is a lot to see on the way). 

THE ITINERARY I SUGGEST

We can organize your day in this way - cost for 23 people would be EUR 72 pp  + 7.00 for optional glass factory tour

Includes all skip the lines tickets and items listed below. Does not include public transportation (additional  EUR 30 pp)

• • 9:00 am meet the escort at the airport

  • buy transport tickets with help of escort (I suggest the 24h pass). 

  • spend 4 hours with the escort exploring the city and learning how to move around. 

    • Murano option (additional cost here for the glass factory tour about EUR 7 pp (see description above). In this case you will: transfer from Airport to Murano by water bus, visit the glass factory, transfer to Venice mainland "Hospedale" stop, walk with your escort  through the Venice alleys toward St Mark Square (15 min non stop walk time, but it will take much longer as there is a lot to see on the way).  Estimated arrival time at S. Mark may be 12:30 to 1:00 pm. 

    • Relaxed option: if you decide not to go to Murano  you can explore the city at a relaxed pace for shopping and spending time to explore the market while getting a sense of Venice life.

  • At 1:00 PM the escort will leave you at the gondola station. Before leaving you there she will also show you the location where you will later meet your guide at s.Mark square.

  • 1:00 pm take gondola ride near St Mark square (1/2 h)

  • 2:00 pm meet your guide for a 2.5 to 3.0 h personalized guided tour of major landmarks + S. Mark's Basilica and Dodge's palace

  • the guide can also give you final instructions on how to get back to the Airport with the tickets you already have
