Description
See Venice from different perspectives and enjoy 3 of its must-see attractions in 1 itinerary. Take a guided walk into the heart of Venice, then a gondola ride, and finally visit St Mark's Basilica.
Discover Venice from land and water on a combined half-day tour of 3 distinct itineraries; a walking tour from St. Mark’s Square to the Rialto Bridge and market, a 30-minute gondola ride on some of the smaller canals and a guided visit to St. Mark’s Basilica.
First, meet your guide near St. Mark’s Square for a walking tour from St. Mark’s to the Rialto Bridge. Your guide will reveal the magic and history of Venice outside some its most famous buildings. Admire the Byzantine façade of St. Mark’s Basilica and the imposing Doge’s Palace before you depart.
Head towards Campo Santa Maria Formosa to learn the story of one of the most beautiful churches in Venice. See the former home of the explorer Marco Polo, and pass the Malibran Theatre, known for having the most extravagant stage in the city. Finally, walk to the Mercerie to discover a fascinating array of narrow streets where the valuable goods brought to the city from distant markets were sold.
The second part of the tour includes a gondola ride to discover some new and not very well-known areas of one of the most beautiful cities in the world! The gondola tour will let you discover the Basilica della Salute, one of the finest examples of Baroque architecture, which offers a different perspective view according to the point from which it is observed.
Re-group outside St. Mark's Basilica to skip-the-line to see its gilded interior after the conclusion of the gondola ride. Learn the history of one of the world’s most iconic cathedrals.
Get advantage of this combined tour, which covers three fascinating itineraries at a lower price than purchasing the individual ones!
