Meet near St. Mark’s Square at 3 p.m. for a guided walk through Venice’s lanes, passing La Fenice and Scala del Bovolo before a 30-minute gondola ride on the Grand Canal. Guides such as Nadia, Francesca, Elena, and Federica have earned praise for clear, lively storytelling.

“Our tour guide was knowledgeable but not very engaging. As we followed her blindly through the myriad of twists and turns that is Venice she never once looked back to see if we were still there. She talked non stop but honestly was hard to understand at times. I do not think k would recommend this tour.”
