Full description
Walk through Venice on a semi-private tour with a guide to St. Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace, then close the experience with a 30-minute gondola ride through its canals.
Discover Venice through its art, history and timeless atmosphere on a semi-private walking tour led by a professional guide. Wander through enchanting streets, bridges and hidden corners, admiring elegant palaces, quiet canals and unexpected views as the story of the Floating City comes to life.
Reach magnificent St. Mark's Square, the symbol of Venice's former splendor, framed by the Venetian-Byzantine domes of St. Mark's Basilica. Admire the Gothic façade of the Doge's Palace, once the seat of government, justice and the Doge's residence, and discover the history behind the legendary Bridge of Sighs.
Then experience Venice from its most authentic perspective: the water. Step aboard a traditional gondola and glide through picturesque, lesser-known canals as well as past some of the city's most iconic sights, with plenty of opportunities for original photographs and romantic, unexpected views that can only be revealed from the lagoon, far from the busiest routes.
A complete introduction to Venice and its true soul, bringing together art, history, tradition and the unforgettable charm of a city unlike any other, seen from both its ancient streets and its shimmering canals.
