Tour Description:
For those that have a full day to explore and see the Real Venice this is a fun way to “live it like a local”.
From the moment we meet you at the Port of Venice, we take care of you to show you a different side of Venice that most tourist never get to see as well as all those must see places along the way.Any last minute adjustments, within reason, can be made if you have had a change of heart.
After meeting you as you disembark from your Cruise ship, we begin a walk tour of Venice. This is the best way to start the day so that can really see what Venice is about and learn how to find your way around yourself should you be there longer.
First stop is away from the crowds and to the world’s first jewish Ghetto where you can still see the remains of what was and still is a quaint idealic place to explore or have a coffee. From here we head back across the Grand Canal using the Gondola ferries to explore the amazing Fish Market. This is the heart of Venice with the noises of bartering fisherman and restaurants owners.
Hidden from view in the back alleys we take you to a local Venetian watering stop to try an “Ombra” which is a traditional glass of wine from a huge variety of freshly prepared delicious Venetian starters cuisine called “Cicchetti”. This local spot has been serving for over 800 years.
Although lunch is not included, we have some of our favourite places to enjoy the best of Venetian food without the heavy pricetag tourists associate with Venice.
From here the Rialto bridge, San Marcos Square to the stories of the carnival, culture, history and people that make up this melting pot once the ruler of the mediterranean seas.
To end it all is the most spectacular Doge’s Palace with the highly decorated Stately rooms to the dark gloomy prisons just over the bridge of sighs.
Whichever way you have chosen, we make it a day for you to experience Venice’s Real Experiences before returning you back to the port of Venice in your luxury private water taxi.
It’s your choice and freedom to make it your special day in Venice.
There is another side to Venice but you just have to know where to find it.
