What to expect

Visit the legendary city of Venice with an expert guide. Your journey will start from the famous St Mark's Square, where your guide will tell you how Venice built a mercantile empire that once spanned the Mediterranean. You will then visit St Mark's Basilica, with its famous mosaics and treasures. Here, you'll have special access to the terrace, from where you can see the famous horses stolen from Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade, as well as amazing views over St Mark's Square and the city.

Next, it's off to the Doge's Palace, where you'll have skip-the-line access. You'll get to visit the Doge's flats and the Hall of the Great Council, where the fate of the state was decided. See the beautiful frescoes by Veronese and Tintoretto, the Armoury, and the new prisons, where you'll learn about the lives of the prisoners.

Finally, you will cross the Bridge of Sighs, discovering the melancholic side behind this romantic symbol.

    This was a great tour and made much better by having access to the Doge's Palace an hour before official opening. The guide, Guiliano, was excellent. Great knowledge with clear explanation and some humour. Really worthwhile. Can't overstate how much we enjoyed this.
