As you disembark at the
Venice port, meet your English-speaking guide for a full-day excursion (up to
8 hours) of Venice.
Your tour will include
visits to the major sights of St. Mark's Basilica, with its rich decoration
of marbles and golden mosaics, and the Doge's Palace, once the seat of government
and residence of the doges. You will pause for a leisurely lunch (to be paid
locally).
In the afternoon enjoy a
45 minute Gondola ride through the enchanting city accompanied by the renowned
sound of your gondolier serenading with traditional Venetian songs. Afterwards
your guide will take you to a typical Venetian bar to enjoy an apritivo to toast
the day before escorting you back to your ship.
*Please note that the state
museums are closed for visits on Mondays and churches Sundays.
