Private Tour of Venice & Private Gondola Ride

Where We Visit: Venice

Breakfast at the hotel and private tour of Venice for 2 hours with English speaking guide at disposal. Suggested itinerary: You will visit the Doge's Palace (exterior only), the famous bridge of sighs and San Marco as well as the many monuments of this beautiful square. Explore also the hidden Venice, enjoying a delightful stroll along narrow passageways, over delicate bridges and meandering canals.

As your eyes feast on the postcard images that abound in every direction, the guide will continue to narrate the story of the most unique city in the world. In the lively Campo Santa Maria Formosa, discover the Venetian Architecture as you admire its fine Gothic Palaces, and at the "St Mark's school " you'll learn about the trade schools of Venice that provided the foundations of the Venetian Mercantile Empire. Then, the tour continues through the back-streets of Venice to visit the Cannaregio district, where we'll admire the most beautiful well-head in Venice and the church of San Giovanni e Paolo (only exterior) where many important Venetians were laid to rest.

And, through the many important sights and in-depth historical narrations, you’ll learn about illustrious Venetian characters like Marco Polo as well as more common citizens, which made this city of stone such a vibrant and magical place. Of course, learn about the modern day Venice, and what it's like to live in the most unique city in the world, though not always the most practical.

The day is far from over! Enjoy a Private gondola tour of Venice. This one of the quintessential things to do for most tourists visiting the city. The Gondola is a unique as Venice itself; their crescet-shaped hulls and their “forcole” that allow the Gondolieri to position their oars in many different ways are the secrets to how these long and slender crafts can navigate the narrow and intricate network of waterways of Venice. On this private gondola tour of Venice you will visit parts of the city that are only accessible by this means of transport, and as you glide silently along these inviting waterways, dominated by soaring and majestic Venetian Palaces you will be transported back in time to when the main means of transportation for Venetian nobility were these vessels. Balance of the day at leisure.

Dinner options available. Overnight at the hotel.
