About this tour

What to expect
You'll depart Florence in the morning by private car, enjoying views across the Tuscan and Veneto regions. Upon arrival in Venice, your guide walks you through the major sights: St Mark's Square with its basilica and arcades, the Rialto marketplace and bridge, and the quieter pedestrian paths where locals actually shop and live. You'll have time to absorb the architecture and take photos without being herded. Lunch happens mid-afternoon at a family-run restaurant where you'll eat what Venetians eat—proper antipasti, fresh pasta or fish, and dessert—not tourist menu fare.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes; Venice means lots of walking on uneven paving. Bring a light jacket even in warm months—canal-side air cools quickly. Tipping isn't expected but appreciated. Prams and strollers work fine in Venice; service animals welcome.
