Walking Tour and Gondola ride | Venice Guided Tours

WHAT TO EXPECT

Start your morning with a captivating walking tour of St. Mark's Square and Venice’s most important landmarks. Led by an expert local guide, uncover the stories and secrets behind this majestic piazza. From the stunning Basilica of St. Mark and the impressive Doge's Palace to the Bell Tower and Clock Tower, your guide will share the fascinating history of each monument that graces this iconic square.

Step away from the bustling square and follow your guide to hidden treasures off the beaten path. Stroll through Santa Maria Formosa, a charming and lively square filled with Venetian character. Visit Campo SS. Giovanni e Paolo, known as the “Pantheon of Venice,” where stories of the Great School of Charity and the Captains of Fortune come to life. Along the way, walk past Marco Polo’s House, the legendary explorer's residence, and the Malibran Theatre, where captivating tales blend history with modern anecdotes.

After the walking tour, pass through the Mercerie, Venice’s historic shopping street, connecting the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square.

The final part of your Venetian adventure begins at Campo San Moisè, where you will board a traditional gondola. Relax and glide through Venice’s waterways, including a stretch of the Grand Canal and smaller, peaceful canals. Admire breathtaking views of the city’s elegant palaces, hidden courtyards, and charming bridges as you experience Venice’s timeless beauty from the water.
