Every turn offers a spectacular photo opportunity, making Burano one of the most delightful stops in the entire Venetian Lagoon. Your guide will propose some places where to have a quick lunch before heading back to Venice.

Venice City Center. Conclude your lagoon journey as your private water taxi glides into St. Mark’s Square, the undisputed heart of Venice. Step ashore to begin a captivating 3-hour guided walk through centuries of history, art, and Venetian atmosphere. Together with your private guide, you’ll marvel at the impressive facade of St. Mark’s Basilica, gaze at the Bridge of Sighs, and cross the iconic Rialto Bridge overlooking the bustling Grand Canal.
