Itinerary

  • Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute (Pass By)

    The dome of the Basilica della Salute has characterized the scenario of St Mark's basin in Venice for more than three hundred years, an authoritative testimony of the high spirituality that marked the 17th century in Venice. It was wanted by the Serenissima as a prayer and as thanksgiving to the Virgin Mother of God to preserve the city of Venice from the terrible plague of the 17th century.

  • Teatro La Fenice (Pass By)

    Teatro la Fenice: a name, a story. As the phoenix rises from its ashes, so it was for this fantastic theatre risen twice from the flames and water. It has been and is home to numerous premieres of operas by Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, Stravinsky, and many others.

Well worth the extra cost to add a singer! He was excellent and very entertaining! It was a highlight of our Venice trip! However, if you want a peaceful, romantic gondola ride this was not it.

"We FINALLY got to not 1 but 2 private Gondola rides!!!

Published on Jan, 2024

My husband & I were on vacation to Venice to celebrate our #55 anniversary and were determined to make sure we got in a private gondola ride on this trip. We have been to Venice several other times but with a group and on those gondola rides, we were always with 2 other couples and never got to sit in the nice chairs that are provided just for a couple. Well, on our anniversary we did get to have our 1st gondola ride and our gondolier was soooo funny and made the ride so memorable. We went up & down several canals, under bridges & walkways and even out to the Grand Canal and saw the Rialto Bridge. Several days later, we were also determined to make sure we got another gondola ride in before we left Venice. This was a great ride also, seeing the Grand Canal with the beautiful buildings along the water, seeing water taxis going by and we were so glad we took another ride. Our gondolier was very pleasant and pointed out numerous historical sites along the way. This was truly so much fun and FINALLY glad we got our own private rides...priceless!

The iconic “must do’ when in Venice.

Published on Nov, 2023

After lunch we took the iconic Gondola ride, covering some main canals and the more quiet ‘back street’ canals. This provided a much different perspective to the various bridges; houses etc. A “must do” when in Venice.
