What to expect

Venice’s 1,500 years of history and 117 islands make it one of the world’s most famous cities. On this tour, you’ll stroll through the most legend-laden parts of the city like St. Marks Square, Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. There’s also skip-the-line access to the Bell Tower and more. And with a customisable itinerary, you decide if there’s anywhere else you’d like to see. Illaria, one of our local expert guides, says, ‘The square boasts many cafes, including the historic Florian, where you can recharge with a sip of Italy, embracing the Venetian art of dolce far niente – the sweet pleasure of doing nothing – soaking up the ambiance.

Kick off your adventure on a high note – literally – with jaw-dropping views from the city’s tallest spot, the Bell Tower. It’s a prime spot for snagging those Insta-worthy pics of Venice and the lagoon. Prepare to be dazzled by the fairytale-like allure of St. Mark’s Basilica, with its soaring domes and golden mosaics, before discovering hidden gems like the 500-year-old Clock Tower, adorned with iconic symbols of Venetian heritage.

Up next, you’ll delve deeper into Venice’s history gazing up at Doge's Palace, the ancient seat of Venetian power. Your local expert will spill the beans on daring prison escapes and hidden mysteries before making your way to the Bridge of Sighs. Expert guide Illaria, says, ‘The bridge is a symbol of the prisoner’s final footsteps of freedom, where chilling sighs echoed as they took one last glimpse of Venice.’ Listen out for the sighs that haunt the bridge today and snap up pics – you’ll want to remember this moment.
