Itinerario
El Gran Canal es la principal vía navegable de Venecia (unos 4 km de largo). El Gran Canal tiene forma de "S" invertida y divide la ciudad en dos partes, cada una de las cuales agrupa tres distritos. La anchura del Gran Canal varía de 30 a 70 metros y su profundidad máxima es de 5 metros. El Gran Canal está atravesado por cuatro puentes, el más antiguo es el de Rialto (1591). Los otros tres puentes sobre el Gran Canal son los del Scalzi, el de la Academia y finalmente el Puente de la Constitución, este último diseñado por el arquitecto Calatrava (inauguración el 11 de septiembre de 2008). Sigue el curso de este famoso canal para descubrir los secretos de una ciudad única
El Puente de Rialto es el más antiguo de los cuatro puentes del Gran Canal. Es famosa tanto por su arquitectura como por su historia. Durante años fue el punto de apoyo de la economía de Venecia. El nombre "Rialto" proviene de "Rivus altus", que en italiano significa "canal profundo", indicando que es una zona libre de inundaciones. La estructura del puente es similar a los anteriores, derrumbado dos veces y quemado en varias ocasiones, y consta de dos rampas inclinadas unidas por un pórtico en el centro. Cruzando el Puente de Rialto llegarás al Mercado de Rialto, un colorido lugar donde se venden frutas y verduras. El Mercado tiene orígenes antiguos y se celebra en este lugar desde el año 1097.
San Marco es una de las plazas más fascinantes del mundo, tanto que Napoleón Bonaparte la llamó "la sala más hermosa de Europa". Fue construido en el siglo IX y pavimentado en 1177, 100 años después de su construcción. Piazza San Marco es la zona más baja de Venecia y, por lo tanto, es la primera zona que se inunda de agua alta. En estos casos, el municipio de Venecia instala pasarelas para permitir el tránsito regular de peatones. Si tienes suerte (o mala suerte, dependiendo de tus gustos), podrás ver la plaza llena de agua. Los edificios más importantes de la plaza son la Basílica de San Marco, el Palazzo Ducale, el Museo Correr, el Campanile y la Torre del Reloj.
Originalmente este edificio iba a ser una ampliación del Palacio Ducal. La primera construcción de la Basílica de San Marcos se inició en el año 828 y finalizó en el año 832 para albergar el cuerpo del Apóstol San Marcos traído desde Alejandría como protector de la ciudad. La construcción de la actual basílica se inició en 1063 en estilo bizantino para representar el poder de la próspera República de Venecia. Esta basílica fue construida respetando el modelo de dos basílicas de la antigua ciudad imperial de Bizancio con planta central en forma de cruz griega, cinco grandes cúpulas y una particular mezcla de arte antiguo y oriental. El resultado es una combinación de estilos espléndida y exitosa.
El Palacio Ducal fue construido probablemente entre los siglos X y XI sobre la base de un núcleo fortificado central. La primera renovación se llevó a cabo en el siglo XII con el dux Sebastiano Ziani, quien transformó la fortaleza en un elegante palacio. Entre 1339 y 1342, durante el reinado de Bartolomeo Gradenigo, el palacio empezó a adquirir su forma actual. El dux Francesco Foscari amplió el palacio en 1424 hasta llegar a la Basílica de San Marcos. A principios del siglo XVII, el arquitecto Antonio Contin añadió las Nuevas Cárceles al otro lado del canal, conectándolas con el palacio con el Puente de los Suspiros, por donde pasaban los reclusos de camino a las nuevas cárceles. En 1797, tras la caída de la República de Venecia, el palacio fue adaptado para albergar las oficinas administrativas.
El Campanile de San Marco es uno de los símbolos de la ciudad de Venecia. Los venecianos lo llaman cariñosamente "El parón de casa". Con 98,6 metros de altura, es uno de los campanarios más altos de Italia. Se encuentra majestuosamente en la Piazza San Marco frente a la basílica. De forma sencilla, consiste en un cañón de ladrillo estriado, que tiene un lado de 12 metros y aproximadamente 50 metros de altura, por encima del cual se encuentra el campanario arqueado. El campanario está a su vez coronado por un troquel, en cuyas caras se representan alternativamente dos leones andantes y las figuras femeninas de Venecia (Justicia). Todo se completa con la aguja en forma de pirámide, en cuya cima, montada sobre una plataforma giratoria para funcionar como veleta, se encuentra la estatua dorada del arcángel Gabriel. La base del edificio está embellecida, en el lado que da a la basílica, por la Loggia de Sansovino.
El Puente de los Suspiros se encuentra en el centro histórico de Venecia, justo detrás de la Piazza San Marco, es el único puente de la ciudad que está completamente cerrado. Hoy en día también se le conoce como el "puente de los enamorados": la leyenda dice que para declarar el amor eterno hay que besarse debajo del puente durante un paseo en góndola. La verdadera historia del Puente, sin embargo, es muy diferente: ¡el hecho de que conectara el Palacio Ducal y el Palacio delle Prigioni no es una coincidencia! De hecho, servía como paso de seguridad para trasladar a los presos del Tribunal a las Prisiones y viceversa.

Our guide was super friendly, experienced and knowledgeable. We had the most perfect day. Then after drop off I received a text over WhatsApp that he was very upset that he was not tipped by us and that the amount he was paid by his company was insignificant. (80 euros) I was very surprised as we paid over 1300.00 US dollars for the tour and bought him lunch. Up until the moment of that text it was an amazing day.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very pleased to hear that you had such a wonderful day and found your guide friendly, experienced, and knowledgeable throughout the tour.

This is not the type of communication we want our guests to receive, and we truly appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Thank you again for choosing our tour and for recognizing the quality of the day itself.
Wow! This trip was perfect for us. Our tour picked us up at the hotel and we went business class on a high speed train to Venice. We saw everything on the tour and I had asked to see a few specific things not on the itinerary. They looked up the places and helped us make choices and adjustments that made us even more delighted. Juliann was the best—so patient and kind. We never felt rushed even though we packed in so much. This was my Venice dream and I loved it.

It is especially rewarding to know that Juliana’s kindness, patience, and dedication helped make the experience so special. We always strive to personalize our tours whenever possible, so we are pleased that we were able to help you include the places that were most important to you and adapt the day to your interests. It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the comfort of the high-speed train journey and were able to experience so much without ever feeling rushed. We will be delighted to share your kind words with Juliana, who will be thrilled to know how much her efforts were appreciated. Thank you for choosing to travel with us, and we hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable experience in Italy.
Juliana was a great tour guide. Even though it rained the day we were in Venice, she showed us St. Mark’s Cathedral, and we went on a gondola ride, And we saw Rialto Bridge and walked across it. We saw the Bridge of Sighs. The train ride was smooth and it was fun seeing the Italian countryside.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day in Venice despite the rainy weather. It is wonderful to know that Juliana helped make the tour memorable and that you were able to experience some of Venice’s most iconic highlights, including St. Mark’s Basilica, the Rialto Bridge, the Bridge of Sighs, and a gondola ride. We are also pleased that you enjoyed the train journey and the beautiful views of the Italian countryside along the way. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you on another Italian adventure in the future.
The guide (Monica) provided just the kind of personal service we were looking for! Our first goal was to get a general feel for Venice and the tour delivered. Our second goal was to see St Mark’s Basilica and that didn’t happen. There was an issue with the ticket process that embarrassed both us and our guide and prevented us from entering. The company provided quick tix to the bell tower as a consolation. If you book with this tour be sure and confirm your St Mark’s tickets are valid before you travel.
Thank you very much for your kind and honest review we are pleased to hear that Monica provided the personal and attentive service you were looking for and that the tour helped you get a great introduction to Venice we are truly sorry for the inconvenience regarding the visit to St Mark’s Basilica we would like to clarify that the tickets themselves were valid however there was an unexpected issue with the name verification process at the entrance this is the first time we have experienced such a situation and unfortunately it was due to the strict security procedures enforced by St Mark’s Basilica and not something within our control we completely understand your disappointment and we regret that this affected your experience although we are glad we could at least offer an alternative with the bell tower tickets we truly appreciate your understanding and your helpful suggestion for future travelers thank you again for your feedback and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future for a flawless experience
This tour was excellent. We took the train to Venice. We had time to explore, eat, go to famous cathedrals, sites like bridge of sighs and take a gondola ride. It was like I had always imagined but better. Our tour guide went above and beyond. We did not wait for any activity we even had time for a street side artist to paint a portrait. It was an amazing city and an amazing excursion.

The private tour to Venice was exceptional. Our guide Serevino was amazing and very patient with my elderly mother who has trouble with stairs. He offered her assistance on more than one occasion. Our driver, forgot his name, was also very kind and polite. Overall great experience and absolutely stunning to travel to Venice and explore at the pace of my elderly mother who’s dream was to visit Venice.
