Floating on Venice's waters
It is not just a walking tour but a perfect combination of history, art, flavors and emotions! Come and try our Walking tour of Venice with a Gondola ride and, with the support of our expert local guide, you will fully enjoy the beauties of one of the most romantic cities in the world.
After meeting your dedicated guide, start the day in a historic café of the city with the first taste of an Italian breakfast: the typical combination of espresso (or cappuccino) and a sweet croissant. Then you will have the chance to stroll through the charming and romantic streets (here traditionally called Calli) and admire the beauty of the elegant palaces and bridges reflected in the waters of the canals.
Thanks to the guide's explanation, you will learn how the history of Venice has influenced its architecture, ranging from the Byzantine style of the wonderful and imposing St Mark's Basilica overlooking the famous St Mark's Square, to the lightness of the Gothic lines of the Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale).
With this tour you can combine the pleasure of admiring the highlights of the city, along with some very pleasant stops for your palate! In fact, you will be able to taste the typical snacks of local products (called cicchetti) that the Venetians love to accompany with a glass of wine.
You will take wonderful pictures of the Grand Canal and the famous Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge) and then end this entertaining tour by savoring another Venetian specialty in the Rialto Fish Market (on market closing days we will stop in another local shop).
You will then end this tour with one the most unforgettable experiences of your trip, a 30-minute ride in a typical Venetian gondola! It will be a magical experience to admire the city from the water, pass under its beautiful bridges and take unique photos to show your loved ones once you return home.
