The trip in a nutshell

Experience the timeless allure of Venice with our Italy Express tour, a journey that captures the essence of this iconic city and its enchanting islands. From the moment you arrive, Venice will captivate you with its stunning architecture, winding canals, and vibrant local culture. Wander through the historic heart of the city, exploring landmarks like St. Mark’s Square, the Rialto Bridge, and the hidden corners of charming neighbourhoods.

Immerse yourself in the Venetian way of life with a Bacaro tour, sampling local delicacies and traditional drinks in lively taverns. Venture beyond the main city to discover the beauty of the lagoon islands —Murano, famous for its exquisite glassmaking, and Burano, known for its colourful houses and traditional lacework.

Whether you're exploring the bustling squares, navigating the serene canals, or visiting the artistic islands, this Venice tour offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and unforgettable moments.
