Italy · VENICE TOURS

“Really beautiful palace and so much to see. Very interesting to visit as variation throughout to cater for many differing interests.”

Ride Venice’s Grand Canal by gondola, hear live stories, visit the Gondola Gallery, and finish with a 3D journey through Venetian history.
“The host was lovely I think her name was Melanie. Everything was coordinated perfectly and the gondola ride was beautiful 😍”
Visit Venice’s La Fenice Opera House with skip-the-line entry and a seven-language audio guide, from historic interiors to Maria Callas memories.
“It is an extraordinary theatre. Practically makes you gasp as you see it in person. The audio tour was very thorough and well-done, and there were even a few places to sit and listen to the longer portions. The audio tour itself only takes maybe 45-60 minutes, but there is plenty of stopping and staring along the way. If you aren't able to see a show here, this is the next best thing. And be sure to go around the side of the building afterward to see the gondola entrance.”

“The tour was well organised and very informative. Thank you very much”

“This trip was awesome for a visit to all of the close islands to Venice. We had great transportation with an amazing view, were given very clear instructions on meeting points and times, and had lots of time to visit each island ourselves. This was 100% worth our money.”
Cruise from Venice to Murano and Burano for a glass-blowing demonstration, colorful canals, free time, and an easy lagoon escape for $34.
“Fantastic day trip. Just the right amount of time with kids, and our guide helped with timing to ensure we were back in time. The glass blowing demonstration was fantastic, about 10 minutes, but not much free time in Murano although not needed. Free time around Burano was great, beautiful little village.”
