Meet your guide and set the scene for your Venice walking tour with gondola ride visiting a historic café. While your guide introduces you to Venice’s unique features you will start experiencing the characteristic lifestyle enjoying a complimentary “colazione” : espresso (or cappuccino) and delicious taste of patisserie. After indulging your taste buds set off to explore. Energized by the espresso enjoy a pleasant walk through the enchanting and mysterious cobble-paved alleys streets and bridges (Calli, Ponti, Rughette) admire sumptuous palaces and catch glimpses of eternity.
Discover the grandeur of St Mark’s Square, a showpiece which beautifully represents the splendor of Venice's past, crowned by the Venetian-Byzantine domes of the grandiose St Mark’s Basilica. Follow your guide across the square and take in the gothic architecture of the Doge's Palace, once seat of the government, Palace of Justice, prison, home to the Doge, which also houses the haunting Bridge of Sighs. Along the way enjoy the chance to join the locals for traditional “Cicchetti”, luscious Venetian “tapas” made with local products, and refreshments.
See the iconic Ponte di Rialto over the Grand Canale, and learn why it was once said that this beautiful daring structure was bound to fall (while it’s still standing after more than 400 years! ) and then see the fascinating Rialto Fish Market.
Crown your Venice walking tour with gondola ride with yet another Venetian tasting in the market (or local café on market closing days), and an unforgettable 30-minute gondola ride which will allow you to savor uniquely romantic and unexpected views of the city.
