Private tours of Venice, guided by people who were born here
The first time, we show you what cannot be missed, without the crowds. The second time, we take you where visitors rarely go: a gondola workshop, a cloister in Castello, a glass furnace in Murano when the masters are at work.
Each itinerary is built around your interests and your pace, and it is the result of careful research by our local specialists. Art historians, architects and Venetian families open doors that are not on any map.
Where possible we arrange visits outside public hours, so that a basilica, a museum room or a library can be experienced in silence. Movements between sights are by private water taxi, so your time is spent in Venice, not waiting for it.
Venice Exclusive services are operated by VLS Agency, with its own boats, cars and team in Venice. vlsagency.com

In many sites, yes, subject to the institutions' availability and fees. We will tell you clearly what is possible on your dates.
Which languages do your guides speak?
Our guides work in English, Italian, French, German and Spanish; other languages can be arranged on request.
