Your Itinerary
Piazza San Marco
Your private walking tour will begin with a stroll in Piazza San Marco, the beating heart of Venice. This historic square boasts the most beautiful Venetian Gothic architecture and amazing views of the Venetian Lagoon.
Saint Mark's Basilica
Your Private Guide will share interesting facts about this world heritage site and you admire the stunning facades of the Basilica of St. Mark and the Doge's Palace, which for many centuries was a government seat and prison.
Abbazia di San Giorgio Maggiore
The main highlight of this tour will be a cruise from San Marco to San Giorgio Maggiore by Vaporetto, i.e. the public water bus (two-way tickets are included). Vaporetto is the most romantic and convenient way to reach the island, and you can enjoy live commentary along the way. The island, or more specifically its 16th-century Palladian church, is one of the most photographed landmarks of Venice, gleaming above the blue water of the lagoon. Inside the classical Renaissance-style interiors, you will find works by Jacopo Tintoretto, Jacopo Bassano, Sebastiano Ricci, and other amazing Venetian artists. As part of the tour, you will also climb up to the viewing terrace of the basilica’s Bell Tower, which offers amazing views of the lagoon and the Riva Degli Schiavoni.
Doge's Palace
Enrich your guided tour with a visit to the Doge’s Palace. It is one of the most visited attractions in Venice but with skip-the-line tickets you can save time and go right inside. The palace delights with spectacular sculptural decoration and paintings by famous artists such as Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto, A.Vittoria and Tiepolo. Your Expert Guide will explain how for centuries the palace served as the political center of the Republic, and how Casanova escaped the palace prison. You will see the vast council chambers, luxurious residential apartments, and austere prison cells, and hear the story behind the name of the Bridge of Sighs.
