Canals, palazzi, and a city that floats between sea and sky.

7 Tours Best April – June · September – October
St Mark's & the Basilica Grand Canal Doge's Palace Rialto Murano & Burano

Tailor-Made Travel

Private & custom Venice tours, designed around you.

Venice is unlike anywhere else — a car-free city of canals and palazzi, best seen early and late when the day-trippers have gone. Beyond St Mark's lie quiet sestieri, the glassblowers of Murano, and the lacemakers of Burano.

Every Hamilton & Chase Venice tour is private and fully custom. From a private water-taxi arrival and skip-the-line Doge's Palace visit to a luxury Venice vacation of canal-side hotels, we plan it around you — with private guides, boats to the outer islands, and dinner reservations you couldn't get alone. Venice pairs easily with the Dolomites, Verona, or a wider Italy route. The best time to visit Venice is spring and autumn.

How many days do you need in Venice?

Two to three nights lets you see the main sights and the outer islands of Murano and Burano without rushing, and enjoy the city once the day crowds leave.

Are your Venice tours private and customizable?

Yes — every Venice tour is private and fully custom, from a private water-taxi arrival to skip-the-line guiding and hard-to-get dinner reservations.

How do you get around on a Venice tour?

Venice is explored on foot and by boat — there are no cars. We arrange private water taxis, vaporetto passes, and boats to the outer islands.
