Description:

Embark on a water taxi for a scenic cruise along the Grand Canal before skipping the line at St. Mark’s Basilica. From the pigeon-filled piazza, take a walking tour of the city’s major landmarks and lesser-known gems, spotting the Rialto Bridge, Marco Polo’s House, and the Bridge of Sighs.

Meet your attentive local guide and begin your exclusive experience with an hour-long ride on a classic Venetian water taxi. Cruise down the Grand Canal, passing by the Renaissance-era palaces, churches, bridges, and markets that sit perched atop the city’s famed lagoon and motoring beneath the impressive stone span of the Rialto Bridge—the oldest bridge across the canal.

After your scenic boat ride, step back onto the city streets, cross the Piazza San Marco, and skip the entrance line into St. Mark’s Basilica. Explore the gilded domes and 11th-century mosaics of this iconic church, and then make your way to the terrace on the second floor for sweeping views over the plaza below.

From there, set out on foot for a walking tour of must-see Venetian landmarks, peppered with some locals-only hidden gems along the way. Pass by Marco Polo’s house to hear about the famed explorer’s journeys at sea, admire the architecture of Campo di SS. Giovanni e Paolo, and see the famous Bridge of Sighs. Listen to your guide share fascinating facts about how Venice stays afloat, and learn about unusual buildings you might not have noticed by yourself. Your tour concludes at the Rialto Bridge.
