Full description

Spend the day in one of the world’s most romantic cities on a full-day guided tour to Venice from Lake Garda. Travel across the Veneto on an air-conditioned bus, and hop on a private boat to the heart of the city. Finally, join a walking tour from St. Mark's Square to Rialto Bridge.

Following your pick-up from various points in the Lake Garda region, including Limone, Riva del Garda and Bardolino, transfer to Venice with a short coffee break (at your expense) near Soave. Arrive in Venice by 11:00 AM and hop on a private boat and cross the lagoon to St. Mark's.

Take a 40-minute walking tour of St. Mark's Square, complete with a guide and headphones, and see some of the city’s most famous landmarks, such as St. Mark's Basilica, the Bridge of Sighs, and the Campanile. Stroll the main streets to the Rialto Bridge and other monuments of “La Serenissima.” Learn more about the Republic of Venice and how it came to dominate the east and the west as the “Queen of the Adriatic.” The central district is teeming with beautiful squares, canals, crumbling mansions, ancient churches, artist workshops, and bridges — all of which you get to admire on this tour. In the afternoon, get some free time to relax and explore Venice on your own. Go off the beaten path for a more authentic look at everyday life in the city, or just sit back and people-watch in one of the many cafés of Piazza San Marco.

At the end of the day trip, jump back on the boat to get from St. Mark's Square to the transfer bus at approximately 5:45 PM.

Very well organised trip. The tour guide was fluent in English and German. The coach was in good condition, very clean and the driver was very competent. We both loved Venice. When you are on the coach there is an option for additional trips. A word of caution, the gondola trips are shared with a fellow day tripper, we weren't told this so it was a little disappointing. Overall a great day out.

A great day in Venice. The tour picked us up at Garda train station at a reasonable time of 08.30, there were a few stops similar to the bus route along the Lake for other collections. Good timing toilet stop on the way to Verona, after around 1 1/2 hours at a service station with option to purchase coffee/snacks. We arrived in Venice in good time, with private boat transport ready for the tour group. On arriving in Venice, there was a 45 minute walking tour with headphones, in both English and German, which was a nice walk into St mark's Square. Following that we had ample time for exploring Venice on our own (around 13.00 to 16.40 meet back at the boat stop). We spent the time getting lunch, shopping, seeing sights and visiting coffee shops. There was more than enough time to walk to the Rialto bridge and take in the city. There are additional options for the afternoon (with extra fee) including lunch, gondola and a boat tour however we were happy to do our own thing.

The trip was great, the commentary around Venice wasn’t very good as the reception kept breaking up but I think this was due to the weather more than anything else. Unfortunately it rained on the day but that couldn’t be helped. We also had about 4hrs on the coach from limon but again, this couldn’t be helped. Despite that the trip was very enjoyable and the guide was very knowledgeable and I would book it again.
