Description

Discover the wonders of Venice, Italy, on a private three-hour tour that blends a guided walk through historic streets with an unforgettable boat ride along the Grand Canal. Start your journey at the iconic St Mark’s Square, where your expert English-speaking guide introduces you to the city’s rich history and vibrant culture.

Skip the long lines and step inside the magnificent St Mark’s Basilica for an in-depth exploration of its art and architecture. As you leave the basilica, stroll past the Renaissance beauty of Santa Maria Formosa and wander through charming Venetian alleys, admiring the blend of Byzantine and Gothic styles that make Venice unique.

Your guide leads you toward the bustling Rialto Bridge, sharing stories of Venice’s merchant past and the city’s golden age. Along the way, you’ll pass through lively campos and encounter centuries-old churches, immersing yourself in the heart of Venetian daily life.

The adventure continues with a one-hour boat tour along the Grand Canal, offering you a fresh perspective on Venice’s enchanting back canals. Glide past the historic districts of Castello and Cannaregio, taking in picturesque views and learning about the city’s hidden corners from your guide.

This tour is suitable for most fitness levels, though boarding the boat requires a step down. Please remember to dress appropriately for places of worship, as knees and shoulders must be covered. Book your spot now to experience Venice’s highlights in comfort and style before availability fills up!
