Description

Get ready to soak up all that Venice has to offer with this epic tour combining its main sites in One Day! Alternatively, choose just the iconic gondola ride, to get a quick and true sense of what Venice is all about. If you opt for the full tour, your journey starts in the famous St. Mark's Square - a true Italian gem. Meet up with your expert guide and dive deep into the juicy history of this iconic spot. You'll learn all about the Basilica di San Marco - its origins, the jaw-dropping historical events it's been through, before enjoying a guided visit inside! Year-round, we've got you covered with skip-the-line access to this holy place. After you visit St. Mark's Basilica, we'll take you on a magical journey through the enchanting backstreets hugging Venice's most romantic canals. Our next stop? The famous Rialto Bridge! Brace yourself for some amazing stories about this beauty before we saunter across to one of the best neighbourhoods in the city - the Rialto District. To conclude the morning part of your tour, or if you only opted for the gondola tour, we've got a special treat for you to tick off your bucket list. Your friendly English-speaking guide will accompany you up with a skilled gondolier for a dreamy 30-minute cruise down Venice's grand canal and some hidden secret canals. Time to fuel up with some delicious lunch (at your own expense) before meeting back up at St. Mark's Square for the second part of your tour. And guess what? This time, we'll skip the line and take you behind the scenes to explore the most impressive parts of a mind-blowing Venetian Gothic palace. Your tour concludes with a visit to the mighty Doge's Palace. Here you'll uncover the charming and darker side of Venice, from sites from the Golden Staircase and paintings of Titian, to its feared torture chambers and the Bridge of Sighs all of course alongside your expert guide.
