Tour description

Upon arrival at the port of Marghera, your private driver will welcome you and transfer you to Venice aboard an elegant executive-class vehicle.
At Piazzale Roma, your private guide will be ready to lead you through one of the most unique cities in the world.

The tour begins near the vibrant Santa Lucia Train Station, before immersing you in the authentic atmosphere of Cannaregio. Cross the charming Ponte delle Guglie and reach the quiet Jewish Ghetto, a place steeped in history. Continue in the footsteps of Tintoretto at the beautiful Church of Madonna dell'Orto, then wind through lesser-known canals and hidden corners to reach the majestic Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo.

You will then arrive at the iconic Rialto Bridge, with its breathtaking views over the Grand Canal, before wandering through stunning alleys and secret spots, from the scenic staircase of Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo to the refined Campo Santo Stefano, the historic La Fenice Theatre, and the Accademia Bridge.

The tour culminates in St. Mark's Square, where you'll admire the golden mosaics of St. Mark's Basilica, uncover the story of the Lion, and marvel at the Doge's Palace, before ending steps away at the Bridge of Sighs.

Afterward, enjoy free time to explore artisan shops, discover Murano glasswork, or savour lunch at a traditional restaurant. At the agreed time, your driver will take you back to the port of Marghera comfortably and on schedule.
