About Venice

Venice rewards a first visit most when someone else handles the map: the city's lanes, water buses and church entrances are their own small puzzle. Start with the landmarks in one sweep on the Guided Tour: Basilica, Doge's Palace, History VR & Bell Tower Option, then let the city feed you after dark on the Venice: Sunset Walking Tour with Food and Wine Tastings.

Small-group and private formats let you ask questions, and walking tours cover compact distances without relying on water buses.
