Walking tour of Venice

 

Delve into the heart of the Floating City as you are taken through the stunning historical centre of Venice. Learn about the history and culture at the same time as you experience the atmosphere of the thriving hub. You will not miss out on any of the many striking monuments and sights as you are guided through Piazza San Marco, viewing the Basilica, the Ducal Palace and the Prisons. With so many amazing sights, Venice’s architectural and cultural heritage is best appreciated during a guided tour where all the research has been done for you! And the best way to savour the delightful sights is to travel by foot through the narrow streets and bustling squares of this venerable city. Pause to take in the extravagant buildings which frame the Piazza San Marco. There are so many wondrous sights to take in that your eyes will not know where to look first! Competing for your attention are the towering Campanile of the Church of St Mark and the glittering Italo-Byzantine architecture of the Basilica. At the end of the tour, you are offered the chance to visit a glass blowing factory and learn of the time-honoured tradition of Venetian glass making and design that continues today. Known for its skilful and elaborate use of colour and design, Venetian glass remains hugely popular.
