DAY 1: VENICE IN A DAY
Visit two of Venice's main monuments on this tour: St Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace. In the Basilica, as well as the main floor, you'll visit the terrace to see the square from above, while your guide tells you the story of the famous bronze horses. Then you will enter the Doge's Palace, a building with a very special aesthetic, both internally and externally. You will pass through rooms containing works of international importance, including those by Titian and Tintoretto. After a lunch break and some free time to visit one of the local markets, we will meet again in the late afternoon for a food and wine tour to discover the flavours of Venice. Moving from "bacaro" to "bacaro", we will taste excellent wines accompanied by the famous "cicchetti".
Dinner at leisure, overnight stay on request.
DAY 2: EXCURSION TO MURANO, BURANO AND TORCELLO
A lagoon cruise is an impressive and enjoyable experience, seated on a Grand Turismo motorboat. Explore the uniqueness of each of the islands. The traditional glassblowing of Murano, the incredible colours of Burano's houses, the history and art of Torcello. From the boat you will take breathtaking photos of the Lagoon and its different islands. We will also visit a Murano glass factory with a glass-making demonstration.
Free time and dinner on your own. Overnight stay on request.
DAY 3: THE BEST OF VENICE
The third day will be dedicated to creativity: Have fun making your own Carnival mask! Learn how to create a typical Venetian mask under the guidance of our local master craftsman. Right in the heart of Venice, you will have the opportunity to make a mask yourself that you can keep as a souvenir, once you return home, of your Venetian experience.
Finally, you cannot say you have seen Venice without taking a gondola ride.
As a last activity, we offer you a gondola ride in the afternoon with expert commentary. Enjoy a walk along the city's most secluded waterways, passing under small bridges and along the Grand Canal side.
Free time and dinner on your own. Overnight stay on request.
