Highlights

A first-timer to Venice, or don’t know where to begin your explorations? Over the course of this tour, experience many of the city’s top highlights: see the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square on a guided city walk (please note: Entrance to St. Mark's Basilica is included on the 2pm tour only.) Plus enjoy a relaxing gondola ride and explore areas of the city that many tour groups miss, from the sestiere of Cannaregio to the Rialto Fish Market.

  • Cannaregio

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    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 will also see a variety of typical Venetian architectural styles. Meander through hidden alleyways, and hear tales of the city’s past.
  • Basilica di San Marco

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Not Included
    Learn what it is like to live on the island today as you walk to St. Mark’s Square. Admire St. Mark’s Basilica for the square and your guide explains how Venice built a mercantile empire that once spanned the entire Mediterranean. If you booked the 2pm tour, you will have skip-the-line access to St. Mark's Basilica and explore its stunning history, architecture, and art with your guide. (Please note: Entrance to St. Mark's Basilica is included on the 2pm tour only.)
