Overview

Visiting Venice is like immersing yourself in the magical setting of an 18th-century fairy tale. Elegant and romantic, Venice will captivate you with its rich artistic and cultural history, thanks to the stories from your private guide. You will cross its ancient bridges to stroll among delicate-colored Gothic churches and palaces. You will admire the characteristic balconies and arched windows, with details that resemble lace. Inside, the precious ceilings with wooden beams are beautifully showcased, illuminated by the wonderful Murano chandeliers. Sailing on a private boat, you will leave the Grand Canal, the most magnificent waterway in the world, to explore the three main islands, Murano and Burano, each with a unique soul to discover. A typical lunch will complete your unforgettable day!
