What you can expect

This combined guided tour is divided into three parts.

The tour starts at 9.00am with a historical introduction of St. Marks’s Square, and its architectural delights.
Leaving the square, you will be guided into the residential Castello area, allowing you to discover this part of Venice in all of its elegance, through its labyrinth of narrow alleys - “calli”, many bridges, winding canals and wide picturesque squares - “campi”.
You can expect to see campo Santa Maria Formosa, one of the largest squares in Venice with its church, named after its visitation of the Holy Virgin; campo SS Giovanni and Paolo where you will be able to admire the famous church, the resting place of several Doges; and the equestrian monument of Bartolomeo Colleoni, an Italian mercenary Captain.
The former residence of Marco Polo, probably the most famous Venetian merchant, and the Malibran theatre are also part of the itinerary.

You will then make your way back to the Saint Marks square, to then be accompanied to the Saint Mark's Basilica, once the private chapel of the Doge of Venice, and the only one of its kind in Italy, thanks to the sumptous golden mosaics and impressive marble inlay flooring. Visit Saint Mark's Basilica ground floor museum and see the famous horses and admire Saint Mark's Square from the Basilica's terrace.

After the walking tour you will have a break and the last appointment will be at 3 pm!
You will need to make your way to calle larga Ascensione, discover Venice from the water and enjoy a tour along the Canal Grande past the most beautiful sights of the city in a gondola. This is not a guided tour - words are not required to embrace the beauty of seeing Venice from the water.
