The Best of Venice: San Marco Highlights & Gondola Ride
+4 photos
San Marco is the beating heart of Venice — rich in history, art, and stunning views. On this private tour, your local host will take you on a journey through the city’s highlights: the Basilica di San Marco, the Doge’s Palace, and the Piazza San Marco.
But there’s more to San Marco than its famous sights. Your host will share personal stories, lesser-known corners, and tips you won’t find in any guidebook. Along the way, you'll also enjoy a classic gondola ride through the canals — a must-do Venetian experience!
(Please note: the gondola ride is not included in the price and needs to be paid in cash on the day — your host will help arrange it.)
Want to grab a bite or a coffee? Your host knows just the right place to pause and recharge. And if you’d like to tweak the route or focus on a specific interest, your host will gladly tailor the experience to you.
Whether you're here for the big sights or the local feel, this tour blends both for a truly memorable Venetian adventure.
