With so many amazing sights, Venice’s architectural and cultural heritage is best appreciated during a guided tour where all the research has been done for you! And the best way to savor the delightful sights is to travel by foot through the narrow streets and bustling squares of this venerable city.
Pause to take in the extravagant buildings which frame the Piazza San Marco. There are so many wondrous sights to take in that your eyes will not know where to look first! Competing for your attention are the towering Campanile of the Church of St Mark and the glittering Italo-Byzantine architecture of the Basilica.
At the end of the tour, you are offered the chance to visit a glass-blowing factory and learn of the time-honored tradition of Venetian glassmaking and design that continues today. Known for its skillful and elaborate use of color and design, Venetian glass remains hugely popular. You will not only be tempted to buy a keepsake of your time in Venice but will also be enthralled by the process that goes into making this beautiful product.
Have a walk outdoors (no entries) through the most characteristic and important places in the history of Venice, celebrating this year (2021) and its 1600 years of life. Travel back in time while you admire the Saint Marks Square (Basilica of Saint Marks, Ducal Palace, Bell Tower, Clock Tower, and Procuratie), Santa Maria Formosa, and Campo SS. Giovanni e Paolo - The "Pantheon" of Venice, the Great School of Charity, the Captains of fortune, Marco Polo’s House, and Malibran Theatre. Anecdotes and past and recent history cross each other in this beautiful corner of Venice.
