Discover the magic of Venice on foot and by water on a combined walking tour and gondola ride. Explore the city centre with a local guide, marvel at the Basilica from St. Mark's Square, and then take a ride down the canals on the city's famous mode of transport.

Meet near the Rialto Bridge and learn why it was initially considered a very bad idea to build it. Take a quick look at the Rialto Fish Market to learn about the long fishing history of the city and its famous cuisine. Get a couple of restaurant recommendations from your local guide! Continue to the sestiere (district) of Cannaregio, home to some of the city's hidden gems. Discover the house where Marco Polo once lived, and go to the unique Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. See a remarkable statue by Verocchio on the Campo San Giovanni and Paolo, where you'll also admire a variety of typical Venetian architectural styles.

Learn what it is like to live on the island today as you walk to St. Mark's Square and gaze up at the city's famous Basilica. You'll be captivated as your guide explains how Venice built a mercantile empire that once spanned the entire Mediterranean.

Your guide will then leave you to enjoy a 30-minute gondola ride with a professional gondolier. Limited to only 5 people per gondola, this experience will be both intimate and relaxing. Punt through the quieter canals of Venice as you relax and enjoy the city at its best!
