Itinerary

Explore Venice on a peaceful gondola ride, then discover the awe-inspiring St Mark's Basilica. The Venetian gondola is known for its elegance and the way it glides along the green channels of Venice. Let us discover Venice as locals have been doing since way back, gliding among the narrow canals and admiring the masterpieces of art and architecture. During this Venice gondola ride, you will have the chance to admire some of Venice's most beautiful sites from the water, a rare sight that can be seen only from a gondola. For the last part of the ride, the gondola will cruise into the Grand Canal, revealing breathtaking views over the most famous canal of Venice and over the Salute Church. St. Mark's Basilica Next we'll enjoy a guided visit to one among the most renowned and amazing cathedrals in the world: The St Mark's Basilica. This is the place where Eastern and Western architecture run into each other, as majestic in its exteriors, as reach in the history it witnessed and represents. Here, we will learn more about the everlasting history of Venice, about St Mark and how his ruins came to rest and be shielded here. A tour not only to see Venice, but to experience this city through its history and glorious past, still shining in its historical sites and legendary characters. Surrounded by the Basilica’s beautiful golden mosaics and marble inlays, our professional guide will take us along the history and the special features of this unique masterpiece of byzantine art. Among the priceless treasures shielded in the Basilica, you'll have the chance to admire the Pala d'Oro, a fine example of Byzantine art with thousands of gems and precious stones; and the Treasury, a religious art masterpiece. And, of course, the golden mosaics, possibly the most famous feature.
