What to expect
Chiesa di San Rocco
Originally built in 1508, there's no better place to start your tour of Venice, than with this marvel through time dedicated to St. Roch, the patron saint of multiple cities in and around Venice, who played a significant role through the darkest days of history- the plague. The magnificent centuries-old architecture, complemented with timeless pieces of art on the inside, will take you through time, off not only the history of the church but that of the city.
Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari
Established in 1231, yet another standing testament of gothic architecture, this Basilica whilst portrayed on the outside with a simple gothic style brick wall, it lies home to the infamous ‘Assumption of the Virgin’ by Titian, and many more ageless pieces of art, both paintings, and sculptures alike.
Chiesa Rettoriale di San Polo
Dedicated to St. Paul, this small gothic church is home to numerous pieces of art, such as ‘Last Supper’, ‘St. Silvester baptizes Emperor Constantine’, ‘St Paul Preaching’, ‘Marriage of the Virgin’, ‘St Peter and the Keys’ and many more.
Mercati di Rialto
Located by the arched Rialto Bridge, this busy market is one of the busiest commercial spots of the city, alongside the iconic Grand Canal. The market regularly witnesses a footfall comprising both locals and international tourists alike.
Ponte di Rialto
Built-in just three years, between 1588 and 1591. It remained the only way to cross the Grand Canal on foot until late 1854. The Rialto Bridge's 24-foot arch and the massive structure was built on around 12,000 wooden pilings that still support the bridge more than 400 years later.
Scala Contarini del Bovolo
Built to showcase the wealth of the Contarini family, this spiralling "snail" staircase to heaven, lies hidden in San Marco. This architectural marvel lies hidden and unknown to many tourists, making it a rare find.
Piazza del Galdo-Sant'Angelo
Aptly called 'the drawing room of Europe' by Napolean, the St. Marks square is by far the most iconic place in Venice. While it opens out into the sea on one front, it is bordered by the St. Marks Basilica on the other. This vast expanse almost poetically is submerged with the high tide as the sun goes down at night. We also offer, an optional, all-inclusive Gondola tour of San Marco square.
Strada Nova
We will finally pass by the Strada Nova before reaching the Venice Station. The Strada Nova is a name used to cover the long chain of shopping streets running through Venice.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
