Experience the highlights of Venice on a small-group guided walking tour that brings iconic landmarks to life. Skip the long lines and step into the city’s glorious past. Explore architectural masterpieces, hidden histories, and artistic wonders in just three hours with a knowledgeable local guide.
First, Begin in St. Mark’s Square, the symbolic heart of Venice. Here, you’ll learn about the city’s storied past while admiring the soaring Bell Tower, the watchful Marble Lions, and the ornate façades around the piazza.
Next, Enter the spectacular St. Mark’s Basilica with your pre-booked ticket. Marvel at golden mosaics and walk beneath domes shaped by Byzantine influence. Hear the story of the Horses of Saint Mark—ancient statues once taken from Constantinople.
Afterwards, Continue to the Doge’s Palace, a masterpiece of Venetian Gothic architecture and a former seat of power. As you explore, stroll through its majestic chambers and council halls as your guide shares tales of politics, conspiracies, and justice. Then, step onto the Bridge of Sighs to reflect on the fate of those once led from courtroom to cell.
From here, your tour ends inside the palace, allowing you to stay longer or explore more at your own pace.
Your ticket also includes entry to the Correr Museum in St. Mark’s Square. Once Napoleon’s residence, it offers art, royal history, and a glimpse into daily life in historic Venice—from elegant salons to military exhibits.
Whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, this guided tour offers a rich view of Venice’s cultural legacy. Enjoy skip-the-line access and expert storytelling from start to finish.
We meet in Saint Mark’s Square near the waterfront by the two large columns. Our guide will be under the one with the winged lion on top. Your guide will have a signboard that says, “Walks In Europe”.
