The ideal tour for first-time and even second-time visitors, as it combines the practical with the inspirational.
It consists of two parts. The first is the invaluable Venice 101, to orient you to the city with personal recommendations for rest of your stay. We’ll provide you with detailed arrival instructions, track your train or plane, and once your settled at your lodging arrange to meet for an hour-long intro to the city.
The second portion of Vi Presentiamo Venezia is a three-hour, private tour of the entire city, one hour of which is in a private water taxi. You’ll meet your amiable, authorized guide at the Rialto Market, where you’ll get a brief tour of the gastronomic melèe that has been an intregral part of Venice’s commericial center since its inception on the “riva alta.” Hop the vaporetto and head for Santa Maria dei Frari which contains a wonderfully diverse yet highly representative art collection by Venice’s most prominent masters (the best gelato in town is right around the corner). Embark on a one-hour canal tour in a water taxi for a more intimate and evocative view of the city, ending at the Republic’s political and celebratory center, the magnificent Piazza San Marco. Cross the Canal one last time to hear the history behind the soaring Santa Maria della Salute church, one of the few examples of Baroque architecture in the city.
This combo tour is the ideal solution for getting the most out of your stay, no matter how brief, or long. We cover the practicalities (an absolute necessity here) quickly, then present Venice in all its brilliance without wearing you to a pulp.
