The tour is composed of three parts and allows you to discover all of Venice’s most important places.

In the first part of the tour, an experienced and qualified tour guide will accompany you through the thousand-year history of the Most Serene Republic, using anecdotes, stories and descriptions to evoke the past of this city which is packed full of charm and is unique to the world. This part of the tour takes place entirely outdoors. The tour does not include any admittance in to the monuments.

In the second part of the tour, you will join a 30-minute ride on a Gondola (up to 6 people per Gondola). The tour begins in the Canal Grande, in the Salute area, and proceeds to the minor canals in the Fenice area. Feel part of an ancient Venetian tradition and experience Venice as the locals have for more than a thousand years.

In the third part of the tour you will discover one of the world’s most majestic cathedrals, a true masterpiece of Byzantine art!
