Itinerary

Day 1

ARRIVAL VENICE

  • Upon your arrival in Venice reach the hotel on your own and check in (transfer available as an optional extra). In the afternoon, reach the “Alilaguna of Giardinetti Reali” to explore Venice on board the most famous boat in the world: the Gondola! (the tour starts at 14.30/15.00/16.30 or 17.00 hrs). The traditional Venetian boat was the best way to travel around for the noblemen of the city. Originally, the Gondola had also a cabin for the privacy of the passengers and was decorated with the finest fabrics of the time: over the centuries, the boat has gradually taken the aspect and the colors we all know. Departing from Santa Maria del Giglio, you will navigate along the Grand Canal and other minor canals to discover the city from an extraordinary new point of view. The majestic Basilica della Salute, the mysterious and spooky palace of Ca’ Dario and the museum of Peggy Guggenheim are only a few of the marvelous buildings you will see along the way. You will then navigate along minor canals to discover the most authentic side of Venice. The Gondola Ride is a once in a lifetime experience and a true must if you’re visiting Venice!

    Overnight in Venice.
