What to expect

Visit the legendary city of Venice with an expert guide. Your journey will start from the famous St Mark's Square, where your guide will tell you how Venice built a mercantile empire that once spanned the Mediterranean. You will then visit St Mark's Basilica, with its famous mosaics and treasures. Here, you'll have special access to the terrace, from where you can see the famous horses stolen from Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade, as well as amazing views over St Mark's Square and the city.

Next, it's off to the Doge's Palace, where you'll have skip-the-line access. You'll get to visit the Doge's flats and the Hall of the Great Council, where the fate of the state was decided.

Finally, you will cross the Bridge of Sighs, discovering the melancholic side behind this romantic symbol.
