Description
Discover enchanted Venice, one of the world’s most extraordinary and magical cities, exploring on foot and cruising the canals aboard a real gondola! Virtually without wheeled traffic, with “main streets” made of water Venice is, as Mary Shelley wrote many years ago “so different … from any other place in the world, that you leave at once all accustomed habits and everyday sights to enter an enchanted garden”. Our enlightening and romantic half day walk&gondola tour allows you to discover the city’s main historic center and major landmarks and get acquainted with Venice’s one-of-a-kind way of life escorted by a specialized private guide. Walk along the canals lined by gorgeous ancient palaces and through airy squares embellished by statues and fountains, learn about the city’s eventful history, catch unexpected views. Marvel at the grandeur of St Mark’s Square, a showpiece which beautifully represents the splendor of Venice's past. Admire the gothic architecture of the Doge's Palace, once seat of the government, Palace of Justice and prison, as well as home of the Doge. Crown your tour enjoying the most memorable of all Venetian experiences: a gondola cruise. Board your private gondola, guided by a friendly picturesque-looking gondolier, and enjoy drifting along the silent canals, admiring the palaces and towers from this unique viewpoint, and passing below the famous and hauntingly lovely Bridge of Sight.
Evocative atmospheres, quaint cobble-paved alleys and glimpses of magic… lose yourself in Venice’s enchantment!
