One of Venice's oldest spice shops harken's back to the city's distant past as one of the major spice importers of Europe.

Venice is full of surprises, like this loggia with beautiful frescoes.

The lovely, and very unique Rialto Bridge.

Our tour of Venice was amazing. Grazia, our guide was outstanding...upbeat, funny and extremely knowledgeable! We loved the combination of the walking tour, the gondola ride and the in depth guided tours in St Mark's Square. For children this is a long day! Also, if seeing the fish market is important to you, I would advise against a Sunday or Monday tour.

Know Before You Book

Does St. Mark's Basilica have a dress code?

Yes. Because it is a holy place, St. Mark's Basilica insists that both men and women wear clothing that covers their shoulders and knees. They can and will refuse entry to anyone who does not meet this standard and we can't do anything about it, so come prepared.

Is lunch included on this tour?

No. But your guide is always happy to offer you plenty of recommendations for great places to eat in the vicinity that will suit any price point.

Is there much walking on this tour?

This tour does involve walking. Guests should be able to walk at a moderate pace without difficulty and comfortable walking shoes are a must!

Is this tour accessible to guests with mobility impairments?

Unfortunately due to the nature of this tour it is not suitable for guests with mobility impairments, or for wheelchairs or strollers. Please contact the Guest Experience team at [email protected] to make alternative arrangements.

Can I take a bag with me into St. Mark's Basilica?

You can only take small bags into St. Mark's. Anything bigger than a purse - backpacks or luggage - is prohibited. There is no coat check either, so do not bring any large bags with you.
