(Please note: this tour features exterior views only; entry to the Basilica is not included). To fully immerse yourself in Venetian culture, we'll then take a boat trip to Murano Island, renowned worldwide for its exquisite glassmaking.

And for a truly unforgettable finale, enjoy a complimentary boat ride through Venice's hidden canals, offering unique perspectives of the city as you glide back to St. Mark's Square. What a way to end your Venetian adventure!
