What to expect

Learn the secrets of Venice in a small group of only 18 people. Explore a maze of alleyways, bridges and palaces. End your day with a relaxing 30-minute Gondola ride!

Your tour starts at the Campo San Giacomo di Rialto where you’ll meet your expert tour guide and head to the world-famous Rialto Bridge. Near the bridge, you’ll peek into the Rialto Fish Market. Next, you’ll dive into the sestiere of Cannaregio, one of the loveliest, most authentic neighborhoods in Venice. You’ll continue through Venice on foot. As you wind through Venice’s hidden alleyways, your local expert will regale you with tales of the city’s past—and with what it’s like to live on the island today. Then, you'll head to the world-famous St. Mark’s Square. As you admire the mosaics and other treasures inside, your guide will explain all there is to know about this amazing site.

The highlight of the tour comes at the end with an all-inclusive half-hour gondola ride with a professional gondolier. With only 5 people maximum per gondola, your experience will be intimate and relaxing, as you punt through the quieter hidden canals of Venice.
