Essential Venice

Our Private guide in Venice is waiting for your!!!

This first option for an Unforgettable Day in Venice offers the possibility to visit all those sights that you should absolutely see when visiting Venicebooking one single tour.

In the morning you will see the most important museum we have in Venice in the city: the Doge's Palace. Visiting the former house of the Government of the ancient Venetian Republic you will learn about the origins of Venice, the main events which characterized the 1,000 years of her independence, the peculiar political system that Venice created, and the main artists of the Venetian School of Painting. You will also see the Bridge of Sighs and the ancient Prison of Venice.

After the palace you will see the Basilica of St Mark and admire the 9.000 square feet of golden mosaics.

There will be time for lunch if you want (we can suggest and book for you the best restaurants in the area)

In the afternoon you will continue the tour on a luxury boat. Your guide will show you the Grand Canal and illustrate the Art, History and curiousities of the magnificent palaces lining the "most beautiful street in the World".

You will then cut through the Cannaregio Canal and reach the Island of Murano, famous for its glassmaking. Until 17th Venice retained the monopoly of high quality glass production, and the skill of the glass masters is still today unequalled. You will see one of the best know furnaces where the authenticl production takes place (it won't be just a demonstration, as most of the tourist factories offer). You will have some time for shopping and the you'll ride back passing by the old and glorious Shipyard and the island of Lido.
