My husband and I will be going to Europe for the 1st time, in mid July. We would like to know any suggestions for great tour experiences that you have had in Venice, Italy. Thanks!

Venice is so east to do yourselves. Start walking and get lost like everyone else! It is a magical city, not large.

We enjoyed a tour hosted by Andrea from guru walks.com. His tour was Discover Hidden Venice-donation style tour. Otherwise we had a really good map and wandered.

We did a two hour Best of Venice walking tour with Avventure Bellisime. It took us into St. Mark’s Basilica and then through some backstreet areas. The guide was excellent! They offer many other options in Venice and the surrounding area.

I LOVE Venice.
The best tour is one where you just walk and get lost. This sounds cliché, but for Venice, this is the best experience you can give yourselves.
Now for more concrete suggestions, the Grand Canal (whole thing if possible) is ideal. With free maps, patience, and time, this is ideal.
Depending on how much time you have, you must get to Harry's Bar. Once there you will see why this experience is necessary.
Select your museums-and get your tickets and /or tour guides booked asap. You will be surprised how busy this July in Venice is shaping up to be.
That said, book your dinner and or lunch reservations, too.
Finally, stay in Venice as long as you can. It is a magical place....
Cheers!
