What to expect
You'll leave Milan early morning in a private vehicle, arriving in Venice mid-morning. The driver deposits you near the main entry points; from there, Venice is yours to navigate. Expect narrow alleyways, multiple bridges, and the characteristic hum of boat traffic. San Marco can be crowded; time your visit accordingly. Lunch is self-directed—budget accordingly for canal-view dining or quieter neighbourhood spots. Churches require covered shoulders and knees. By late afternoon, you'll head back to the ferry and car for the return journey to Milan, arriving by evening.
Good to know
Confirm pick-up time 24 hours ahead by phone or WhatsApp. Provide your exact Milan hotel address within the Aurelian walls beforehand—the tour won't proceed without this detail. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a light layer. Children's seats available; book booster seats (€10) in advance. Not suitable for those with cardiovascular limitations.
