About this tour
Navigate Venice's historic centre without the usual logistical headache. This private tour adapts to your pace and requirements, steering through barrier-free routes across the city's islands and districts. Whether you use a wheelchair, travel with young children, prefer not to scramble over bridges, or have sensory considerations, a trained guide charts a course through San Marco, Rialto, Castello, Cannaregio, and the quieter islands of Murano, Burano or Sant'Erasmo. Tours run 2–8 hours depending on your energy and interests.

What to expect
Your guide meets you with a customised route plan based on your mobility needs and interests. Rather than the standard tourist gauntlet, you'll travel via step-free passages and accessible water transport. Expect to spend time in the main squares and markets at a leisurely tempo, with frequent stops to absorb the architecture and local rhythm. If you opt for the outer islands, the vaporetto ride itself becomes part of the experience—quieter, greener perspectives on Venice's layered geography. The guide provides historical and cultural context without the rush.
Good to know
Water-bus tickets aren't included and are purchased on the day. A €5 city access fee applies on certain dates (check the Venice tourism website for exemptions and schedule).
