Overview

Welcome to Venice: St. Mark's Basilica & Gondola Ride Experience

Get to the heart of Venice and learn your way around The Floating City in just three hours.

Details

A first-timer to Venice, or don’t know where to begin your explorations? Over the course of this small-group tour, experience many of the city’s top highlights: see the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square on a guided city walk plus enjoy a relaxing gondola ride. You also explore areas of the city that many tour groups miss, from the sestiere of Cannaregio to the Rialto Fish Market. 

Discover the magic of Venice on foot and by water on a combined walking tour and gondola ride. Explore the city center with a local guide, marvel at the Basilica from St. Mark's Square, and then take a ride down the canals on the city’s famous mode of transport. 

At the end of the tour, you will be left in the hands of an official gondolier for a 30-minute Venice gondola ride. With no more than five people per gondola, you can kick back, relax, and see Venice the way it was built to be seen: from the water.

Important: The full names of all participants must be provided at the time of booking and must match the names on your photo ID/passport. Name changes are not permitted.
