Get acquainted with the social, political and religious center of the Serenissima Republic of Venice.

A full immersion in history, art and architecture before ending in prison! Don’t worry I’ll get you out of it just to lead you into church to be forgiven before going for shopping!

Meet your English-speaking guide in the hotel lobby to embark on an exciting four-hour tour where you will discover the most renowned sites in Venice with a walking tour of Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Square and Cathedral. A prime example of Gothic architecture, the open-faced rooms and ornate façade demonstrate the splendour of this beautiful city. Climb the Golden Staircase and cross the Bridge of Sighs, spanning the palace to a historic prison across the canal. Visit St. Mark’s Square with elegant buildings and cafes, the site of many musicians and artists, and the magnificent St. Mark’s Cathedral.

Get an introductory explanation from your guide outside of the basilica prior to entering, in order to be ready for the astonishing view of 8.000 square metres of 24 k golden mosaics!! Follow your guide through the impressive interior of the cathedral, and proceed to the glass showrooms where you have an opportunity to purchase authentic Venetian glassware.
