Venice tours & holidays

Get out your gondola, let’s explore Venice

Venice might just be Italy's crowing jewel, a hard title to earn when competing with Florence, Rome and Milan, but this floating city is truly unlike any other. Here, grand bridges arch over canals dotted with traghettos and grand squares boast palaces, belltowers and cathedrals. Where you’ll find echoes of the Renaissance in the artisanal glass blowers and Venetian art adorning the walls. Let us show you the way around the water - Gondolier singing optional.

Tours to Venice

With Venice as a finishing point, you can look forward to ending your adventure with lazy strolls past canals, fresh Venetian cuisine and toasting your travels as the sun sets over the lagoon. This is finishing in style.

Piazza San Marco and walking tour
The seemingly timeless city of Venice has lived through dynasties, republics and empires. Today, it’s a preserved maze of winding canals, heritage buildings and historic sites. Join your local leader for an in-depth orientation walk past the Piazza San Marco for the Doge’s Palace, then onwards to the Rialto Bridge, Bridge of Sighs and more.

Sample the regional specialities
Dine the Venetian way with a group trip to a bacari (wine bar) for cicchetti (small local plates). Your leader will share with you all the local favourites to try during this meal and your time in Venice. Between risotto, polenta and regional seafood-based dishes to famous desserts like Venetian fritoe and the Veneto dish tiramisu – Italy’s not going to leave you hungry.

See Venice from its canals
No trip to Venice would be complete without its marquee activity: a boat ride through the canals. Whether you choose to partake in a private gondola through the smaller canals or learn from your leader how to use the traghettos (gondola ferries) across the lagoon, you can’t pass up a chance to see Venice from the canals.

Discover the history
Venice has been a centre of culture and art for centuries, so much so that Shakespeare set two of his plays here. Learn about a small piece of Venice’s history from your local leader as you visit Palazzo Pisani, the largest noble palace in Venice. Then, discover the wonders of Venetian art style in the many galleries and museums spread across the city.
