Description:

Take a private walking tour to explore some of Venice's most ancient churches. Marvel at the intricate architecture of Santa Maria dei Miracoli, Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, and the Church of San Polo while learning about these sacred places from your Japanese-speaking guide.

Your tour starts at your Venice hotel where your guide meets and greets you. Walk through the charming streets to the first of 3 ancient churches—Santa Maria dei Miracoli—also known as the “marble church.” Wander around this impressive site, a great example of the early Venetian Renaissance with colored marble and false passageways on its exterior walls.

Then continue to the Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari located in the San Polo district and marvel at the Italian Gothic-style architecture and the many paintings inside the church. One of the famous masterpieces here is Assumption of the Virgin by Titian, who once was the most important member of the 16th-century Venetian school of painting.

Next, visit the Gothic-style Church of San Polo, dedicated to Apostle Paul, and admire the interior's combination of the old wooden keel ceiling and classical elements of pale marble. Stop and appreciate charming paintings by the artists Tintoretto and Tiepolo before your guide takes you back to St. Mark's Square.
