📖

Full description

An English-speaking guide meets the group around St. Mark's Square for timed entry to the basilica, then leads through Doge's Palace to explain the republic's rulers, justice and administration.

After a short break, the group walks to a gondola departure point for a shared ride of about 30 minutes, with up to five passengers per boat. A full-day upgrade adds private-boat transport to Murano and Burano with glassblowing and lace-making demonstrations, separate from the standard central package.

Reviewers praise guides' storytelling, though one reported microphone interruptions. Food, drinks and tips are not included.
