Description

Take in the sights and sounds of Venice’s Grand Canal on a walking tour with a private guide.

Begin your walking tour at the iconic Rialto Bridge, connecting San Marco to San Polo. From here, explore the narrow streets of the Old Town, passing the monuments of Campo Manin, Campo Sant'Angelo, and Campo Santo Stefano. Stop at the Ponte dell'Accademia to admire the hundreds of love locks and stunning views over the Grand Canal. See gondolas gliding by and listen to the sounds of street performers. Finish your tour at St. Mark’s Square and admire St. Mark’s Basilica, St. Mark’s Bell Tower, and the Doge’s Palace. Complete your Grand Canal walking tour with a 30-minute gondola ride, depending on the option you select. Ride a traditional gondola with other travelers and enjoy views of Venice from the water. As you cruise, look about the city from your gondolier or the mobile app. Choose the 4.5-hour option to visit to the Doge’s Palace with your private guide.
