What to expect

Discover Venice with a guided walk from the splendour of St. Mark’s Square to the majesty of the Rialto Bridge. Stroll through the golden heart of the city, where the Basilica, Doge’s Palace, and Campanile reveal centuries of history in one square.

From there, explore gems hidden in the maze of calli and campi. Admire the Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Venice’s hospital and at the same time a monumental masterpiece. Uncover the beauty of Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel, a Gothic jewel tucked away from the crowds. Trace the footsteps of the legendary Marco Polo in the Corte Seconda del Milion, before pausing like a true Venetian to sip a refreshing spritz—the unmissable Venetian cocktail—at a traditional bacaro.

Finally, reach the Riva del Carbon and enjoy the iconic view of the Rialto Bridge, the symbol of Venice’s mercantile power. Your journey also includes the Venice Gallery, where an immersive virtual reality experience takes you back in time. Watch the transformation of St. Mark’s Square and glide along the Grand Canal through centuries of history.
