Description

The undisputed star of this experience will be the spritz, a historic cocktail with uncertain origins made with Prosecco, Aperol, and a splash of sparkling water or Seltz, but everyone has their secret mix to make it special. To gift you a true Venetian experience the aperitif will be accompanied by cicchetti, savory snacks, and vegetable chips. You will find yourself in a truly fascinating building, located behind Piazza San Marco. Illy café is a former greenhouse and thanks to its structure enjoys natural light at all hours of the day. Another delightful scene that the location provides is the Royal Garden, a small green lung in the center of the city. Finally, discover the city with a mobile app. Download it on your phone and enjoy 6 itineraries with their best attractions and bacari (typical wine bars). Listen to the audio narration of the city’s highlights (200 points of interest) and explore Venice with your family or friends.

Carnival

The Venice Carnival is an exceptional experience. Colorful costumes and characters that lend themselves to the game of photos. You can challenge them and pose with them. On the other hand, watch out for the consumptions on Place St Marc. On the terrace an espresso and a tea 29€.....

What a delight!

I had already heard of the italian cocktail spritz and once in italy i wanted to try it out! A truly savoury experience thanks to the cicchetti side dishes to accompany it, to not forget the stunning place in which they were served to us, just few feets behind St. Mark's Square!

Don’t go - they don’t want you

The staff were not aware of this experience and sent me away several times. After 27 minutes, a manager finally figured out about the experience I had purchased. They would not let us visit the garden or sit in the garden sections as advertised. They also had no idea about the app with the audio tour. They did provide a snack and drink as advertised. I would recommend not going and that this be taken down until the people who work there can be trained how to deliver the services

Shooting into hide Venetian areas...

We had the tour on Feb 4 during the Carnival opening; our photographer tour leader was so good sharing tricks and information on how to improve our photo skills that now we can go back home with much better shots from our vacation. Thank you!

The gondola guy didn’t stop talking to another guy on the gondola so I couldn’t even record video with live music.

Dear Guest, we are deeply sorry for your personal comment, please consider that the gondolier is not the guide, but he is like a driver who must take care of his oar. Regards.

Great Ride and Food - TOUR GUIDE A NO-SHOW!

The gondola ride was lovely, serenade beautiful and the dinner was charming. However, the tour guide never showed up so we had a terrible time boarding the gondola and understanding any details about the dinner. We were virtually unaccompanied and probably could have had a better experience doing this without a tour.

In the past we have had...

In the past we have had excellent Viator trips. Unfortunately this one was very disappointing. No guide was there to greet us or guide us to our gondola location. The gondola manager lost our paper confirmation and we had to find our own way to the restaurant after the ride which was very difficult.The food was mediocre at best. Hopefully Vitor will correct the situation.
