What to expect

A masterpiece floating on the Adriatic, Venice tops many a must-visit list. Boarding a private motorboat on the edge of the city, you'll arrive in style at Riva degli Schiavoni, and your guide will lead you to St Mark's Square. Here, you can admire the wonderful St Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace next door. Their orient-infused Byzantine Gothic architecture will whet your appetite for more.

And there's no better way to explore Venice than with a romantic gondola trip – an optional 30-minute ride is available just after arrival in St Mark's Square. You'll then have free time for exploring this enchanting city, and perhaps to find somewhere to have lunch. If you fancy something really typical, locals love their cicchetti – Venetian tapas.

In the afternoon, there's an optional one-hour lagoon trip, accompanied by your guide, or the chance to roam around yourself. It's well worth stepping away from the crowds onto quieter lanes and canals to get a sense of the true magic of ‘La Serenissima.'

    Der Guide Herr Remo (wir kennen nur den Vornamen) war sehr engagiert, verfügt über ein großes Wissen über die Region und Venedig und hat in interessanter und witziger Art vieles erzählt. Es war sehr interessant, informativ und unterhaltsam. Die Gruppengrösse war sehr gut, mehr als 20 Personen wären zu viel. Weiter so !!! Danke an den Guide Remo für seine Arbeit an dem Tag. Ein hervorragender Tourguide.
