Introduction

Your comprehensive introduction to Venice begins with a two-hour walking tour highlighting all the important monuments, from San Marco Square to the Rialto Bridge. You'll learn the history behind the famous landmarks, including the basilica's Byzantine heritage and the adjoining prisons of the Doge's Palace. Plus, you'll visit the famed basilica of St. Mark's without having to stand in long queues!

Leaving the crowds behind, you'll enter a labyrinth of narrow passageways, alleys, canals and delicate bridges. Highlights include Campo Santa Maria Formosa, Marco Polo's House, an old merchant's warehouse and the most beautiful well-head in Venice, before finishing the tour near the Rialto Bridge.

Enjoy free time between your Venice Walking Tour and Grand Canal Boat Tour. Exact times will vary depending on the season, however most walking tours will conclude at approximately 1:10pm (except Sunday at 4:00pm), with the boat tours starting between 4:30pm and 5:30pm. Details of the exact meeting location and time for the Grand Canal Boat Tour will be given by your guide after the walking tour.

Next, enjoy a relaxing cruise along the Grand Canal of Venice. Along the way you will learn the history of the stunning palaces and churches that line the famous canal, as well as anecdotes about the famous people who have resided on Venice's most important 'street'. You'll also enjoy a fascinating tour of the minor canals of Venice.

St. Mark's Basilica is free of charge to enter and we guarantee that you'll skip any long lines as part of this tour. Venice is subject to flash floods and occasionally the Basilica is closed to the public (without notice) because of high water or festivities.

Was a fairly nice tour. We got to go into the church to. Unfortunatly theres no photos once inside the church. Also no bags or anything either :/ Tour guide had a loud speaker system thing which sometimes made it hard to hear sowould recomend that they give her the upgraded personal walki talky things most other tours do.

My husband and I were on a trip to Venice to celebrate a 40th Birthday, neither of us had been to Venice before and we were both very excited to tour this lovely City, our Guide was brilliant! She was very knowledgeable of the history of Venice and we both enjoyed our tour very much! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Having only a limited time in Venice we booked our trip in advance, which not only saved money, but meant we were well prepared in advance.

The tour, which comprised of a walking part and a cruise was well organised and both parts stuck to the published schedule.

The guides were knowledgeable, friendly and approachable plus they made the tour interesting with their different styles.

The cruise boat was to a very high standard and made the trip comfortable as well as special.

The tour guides English was impeccable and the pace of the tours was just right.

I would highly recommend this tour,

We arrived late but were still able to meet up with the group. Our tour guide was amazing she was a native who gave us great tips on where to get gifts, where to eat and most importantly great background on the sites that we visited. If you are in Venice for one day please do this trip. The evening boat ride was great, small group with a great tour guide.
