Overview
This two night / three day pre-cruise package includes everything you will need in Venice before or after your cruise including transportation (to/from your cruise and to/from the airport).
It also includes a stay in a well-located, 4 star hotel on Venice island that is less than a 10 minute walk from St. Mark's square. In addition to great accommodation and round trip transfers, this package also includes a comprehensive walking tour of Venice island.
We strongly recommend having transfers in Venice pre-arranged before visiting the island, for upon arrival at Venice airport or the cruise ship terminal to say it can be challenging to get around with all of your suitcases is an understatement and transfers on the ground can run upwards of 200 Euros! This package takes the headache out of getting around in Venice and offers accommodation at the delightful hotel Castello which is in a great location and offers a wonderful buffet breakfast.
The walking tour of Venice also included in this tour will give you a chance with a licensed tour guide to see some of the highlights and insight into this fabled and magical water city.
