Activity itinerary

Cruise Port - Ravenna

Meet your professional driver directly at the Ravenna cruise port and relax in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. Sit back and enjoy the scenic journey through the Italian countryside as you make your way to Venice, with the transfer taking approximately 2.5 hours.

Piazzale Roma

Upon arrival in Venice, you'll meet your local guide and leave your luggage in secure storage, allowing you to explore the city completely hands-free. With groups limited to just 10 guests per guide, you'll enjoy a more personal and relaxed experience. Then comes one of the true highlights of the day: a private water taxi ride along the legendary Grand Canal. Glide past magnificent palaces, elegant churches, and centuries-old merchant houses as your guide brings Venice's fascinating history to life. Unlike most visitors, you'll experience the city the way Venetians were meant to be seen: from the water. Relax and take in spectacular views as you travel through the heart of Venice towards St. Mark's Square, avoiding crowded bridges and long walks while enjoying one of the most iconic arrivals in all of Italy.

Piazza San Marco

No visit to Venice would be complete without seeing the spectacular St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), often described as the drawing room of Europe. As Venice's only true square and its historic centre, it is surrounded by some of the city's most famous landmarks and offers an unforgettable glimpse into the grandeur of the former Venetian Republic. Your guide will bring its history to life as you explore this remarkable setting.

Basilica di San Marco

20m
Admission ticket not included

As you explore St. Mark's Square, your guide will point out the magnificent St. Mark's Basilica, famous for its dazzling golden mosaics and remarkable Byzantine architecture. You will also see the elegant Clock Tower and the iconic Campanile (Bell Tower), one of Venice's most recognisable landmarks. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about the history, traditions, and symbols that have made this area the heart of Venice for centuries.

Doge's Palace

20m
Admission ticket not included

Standing proudly beside St. Mark's Basilica, the magnificent Doge's Palace is one of Venice's most celebrated landmarks. For centuries, it served as the seat of government of the powerful Venetian Republic. Admire its stunning Gothic architecture as your guide reveals the stories of the doges, political intrigue, and remarkable history that unfolded within its walls.

Mercati di Rialto

Continue to the vibrant Rialto area, one of the most lively and authentic parts of Venice. Explore the historic market district, where locals and visitors alike gather among colourful stalls selling fresh produce, seafood, and regional specialities. You'll have time to browse local delicacies, pick up souvenirs, or enjoy a refreshing drink while soaking up the atmosphere. This is also the perfect place to admire the iconic Rialto Bridge, the oldest and most famous bridge spanning the Grand Canal. Offering spectacular views of Venice's waterways and bustling city life, it remains one of the city's most photographed landmarks.

Ponte di Rialto

Take advantage of some free time to explore Venice at your own pace. Browse elegant boutiques, shop for souvenirs, enjoy a snack or aperitivo, or simply admire the beauty of the city's canals and historic architecture. If you prefer, continue with your guide to the iconic Rialto Bridge and market district, where you'll discover the fascinating history of Venice's merchants and traders, whose wealth and influence helped shape the city for centuries.

Piazza San Marco

One of the highlights of your day in Venice is a traditional gondola ride through the city's romantic canals. Drift past historic palaces, charming bridges, and secluded waterways while experiencing Venice from the perspective that has defined the city for centuries. Away from the busy streets, you'll discover a quieter and more intimate side of Venice that many visitors never see. Each gondola accommodates a maximum of 5 guests, ensuring a more comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Piazzale Roma

As your day draws to a close, we return to Piazzale Roma, where your luggage has been safely stored throughout your tour. Your guide will be on hand to assist with onward travel- whether arranging a private taxi or helping you navigate public transport to your hotel, airport, or train station. For guests booking a private tour, seamless transfer arrangements can be made in advance, so your journey continues without a moment's interruption. Simply reach out to us and we'll take care of the details.
