Description

Discover Venice through a guided walking tour followed by a gondola ride!

After meeting your guide in the early afternoon near St. Mark's Square, you'll begin your tour. You'll lose yourself in the Venetian alleyways and discover lesser-known places, while listening to your guide's comments and anecdotes. In particular, you'll catch a glimpse of the Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo (entrance not included), the Campo Manin, the Calle degli, the opera La Fenice (entrance not included) or the Church of St. Moses. 

Then embark on a gondola ride along Venice's famous canals. You'll sail aboard a gondola and discover Venice from a different angle, while enjoying panoramic views of the city, including the Pont des Soupirs.
