Italy · HISTORICAL TOURS
6 tours
These are the 6 best History Tours in Italy. Each one carries its price, its running time and the detail that actually decides it, so you can pick and get on with the rest of the trip.
Skip the line to St. Mark’s Basilica with a multi-language audio guide, then a VR stroll through Piazza San Marco history.
“The guide was amazing - very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. Enjoyed it very much.”
Skip-the-line access to St Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace, plus a shared gondola with app commentary and a VR history gallery.
“Our guide for the Doge Palace was so great! She knew her history and really made it come to life. Her knowledge of art was outstanding. When we were finished we did not end where we started so we were left to find our way out through the prison and rush to the gondola ride. The gondola ride was ho-hum. Got on in a long queue followed the gondola in front of us in a big circle and then got out. Done!”
Small-group historic Milan walk plus skip-the-line *Last Supper* tickets, timed viewing, and major sights like Sforza Castle, Duomo, Galleria, and La Scala.
“I wanted to view the Last Supper. I didn’t want to leave it to chance. Our included tour was basic. This guaranteed what we wanted. Going through individual companies would take time and we might not be lucky. By going through Viator all the options were there for us to pick from. We also knew Viator would only use reputable companies. We weren’t dissppointed and we also knew if something came up the cancellation policy was there for us to cancel and get a refund. We were slightly confused about converting our vouchers to actual tickets. As first we thought we did that on our own before joining up with…”
St Mark’s Square, Rialto Bridge, calli lanes, VR history, plus optional gondola for a low-cost Venice city-center sweep.
“The weather was awful but they did a great job, very kind and we learned a lot!”
2-hour Verona walking tour: Arena, Piazza delle Erbe, river views, Roman to medieval stories, small group and headsets, $41.
“Fabio is a great guide, there a maximum of 10 people on the tour, which makes it very inclusive. He is very informative in a very interesting way, a great tour”
3-hour Palermo street-food and history walk with Capo Market, five tastings, cannoli dessert, and a drink. Old Town landmarks included.
“Everything was just right and Fabrizio’s knowledge and style made it a perfect day!”
