“The tour is great but very very short. We had to pay a lot of money for the vaporeto tickets and the activity only was for around 10min. So, basically could be higher price but longer event”
A 75-minute theatrical walk in Venice led by Pantakin actors, with Codega stories, Casanova secrets, and Carnival atmosphere near San Marco.
“English tour with Francesca was great! She was telling all the legends and even historical facts artistic and entertaining. Highly recommend 😊”
Small-group Murano glassblowing tour by covered water taxi, with a live furnace demo and island time away from crowds.
“Venetian Savor's was a nice tour. We enjoyed visiting the various restaurants and tasting the many flavors of Venice! Would recommend it.”
Enjoy a Venice cabaret dinner show with a welcome drink, 5-course gala meal, and the international Cabaret Grand Show in a Baroque theater.
“Excellent show with fantastic singers, dancers and piano player. Good value for money. Really recommend going. Cons Out of way so expensive taxi journey and the first hour/hour & half is drawn out (couple drinks and takes ages to get food) felt a bit amateurish but the show itself is worth every minute! Just don’t rush to be there for 8pm”
Watch Murano glassmasters at a live furnace, then walk the island with a guide, with a semi-private water taxi from St. Mark’s.
“Excelent trip and exciting transportation to it. Strongly recommend for this money.”
See live Murano glassmaking at the Original OMG factory, then tour a 500 m² showroom. Fast 30-minute English visit from Venice.
“The glass blowing was fun to watch. If you book this ticket, you get exclusive showroom access - it made me feel obligated to buy but there was no pressure to do so.”

Venice home cooking class with a Cesarina: live show cooking, a homemade 3-course meal with wine, and small-group dining in English.
“We had a nice time. A little different than what we expected but a good and person experience none the same.”
Venice Carnival meets theater in a 1h15 English walking show with Pantakin actors, lantern tales, and secrets off the main route.
“I had the most wonderful historical theatrical walking tour from Francesca! She was brilliant, so many stories come to life from Venice’s history. Very memorable and a perfect activity for your first evening in the beautiful floating city. I saw so much of Venice I don’t think I would have without her. She really takes you off the beaten path, to experience authentic historical Venice. The stories were excellent, Francesca was amazing the city is beautiful. This is a must activity for your visit!”
