What To Expect

A tour combination to discover the enchanting side of Venice through a morning walk, its Byzantine heritage through the St Mark's Basilica, and its deepest side through a gondola ride.

You will learn more about Venice's present and past and interesting facts about life in a city built on water. Campo Santa Maria Formosa, Campo and Church SS. Giovanni e Paolo, the Mercerie, are only some of the highlights which will be admired during this walk.
You will discover one of the world's most beautiful and breathtaking cathedrals: The St Mark's Basilica, one of the finest exemple of Byzantine art in the world.

Then, let yourself admire Venice from a unique perspective: the water, by sliding on a enchanting gondola.
