The Highlights of Venice - All you should not miss...

This tour features the highlights of Venice: all that you should not miss when visiting Venice, even if you have little time to spend. We begin with a walk through the Square of St Mark to outline its most celebrated monuments like the Bridge of Sighs, the beautiful architecture of the Doge’s Palace and the Renaissance Marciana Library.

We will then visit  the golden Basilica of St. Mark to admire some of its most precious treasuries: about 90,000 square feet of golden mosaics, the famous 4 bronze horses and the astonishing Golden Screen, decorated with 1,927 precious gems.

Leaving the Square, we will make our way to the Rialto Bridge, walking through some of the narrow alleys of Venice. We'll pass by the Opera House and get to the hidden little court where the Contarini Spiral Staircase is found.

We will then return to St Mark's, from where the tour will continue  on board a deluxe waterborne taxi and you will enjoy a boat ride through the City and the Lagoon of Venice. The taxi will slowly drift through  canals and the open lagoon, the architectures and the silouette of the islands reflecting on the water surface and the 'most unique city in the world' will show its majestic beauty. At the end of the tour you will reach the Island of  Murano  where you will have the possibility to admire the worldwide celebrated glass masters at work (we’ll see one of the few non-tourist glass factory!)

The play of light on the water surface will add an incomparable charm to the last part of your tour that will end by St Mark’s Square.
