Your Vacation Awaits!

Get To Know Venice

On our first day together, we will explore Venice with a guide who will help orient you to where you are and what you want to see! We will start out near our Hotel and end up at the famous St. Mark's Square. Bring your camera and comfortable shoes to explore this beautiful City.

Explore Venice by Gondola

You've seen it in the movies and now you'll get to experience it yourself. What better way to explore all the hidden waterways than by a Venetian gondola? Gondolas are one of the most iconic symbols of Venice. You'll learn all about the fascinating history of gondoliers all while soaking up the fantastic scenery unravelling in front of you.

Escape to the Islands

Take a break from the Venice crowds as we hop aboard a boat to the islands of Murano and Burano. Visit the workshop of a local Murano glassblower and learn the tricks of the trade. You'll also have time to pick up some beautiful glass souvenirs and gifts. A scenic boat ride will take us to the colorful island of Burano, an island known for its beautifully intricate lacemaking. You'll watch local craftswomen create lace through finely detailed weaving and stitching.

Indulge Your Taste Buds

Pizza.....pasta......gelato.....oh my! Why have to choose just one? We have arranged a cooking class where we get to eat what we make! What could be better? Your taste buds will thank you.

How About a Little History?

Delve into one of Venice’s most iconic locations. During our own private tour, we will be able to skip the lines and head straight to the good stuff. We’ll start off at St. Mark’s Square then head into St. Mark’s Basilica where we’ll marvel at the mosaics and opulence of this famous Roman Catholic Church. Next, we’ll head to Doge’s Palace where we’ll savor the gilded apartments and former political heart of Venice. Along the way, we’ll pass over the famous Bridge of Sighs which despite its romantic reputation, has quite a grim history.

The Biennalle Arts Festival

The world's oldest and most prestigious international art exhibition, a cultural beacon since 1895 where art, politics, and national identity converge in the floating city. The "Olympics of the Art World" transforms Venice into a global stage for contemporary artistic dialogue.

The Venice Biennale 2026, specifically the 61st International Art Exhibition, titled "In Minor Keys," is curated by Koyo Kouoh, featuring national pavilions and collateral events across Venice's Giardini, Arsenale, and city center.

Calling All Music Lovers!

This is an unforgettable experience for music lovers! You'll feel like you've travelled back to the 18th century as you listen to Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” performed by one of Venice’s most acclaimed musical groups. The concert is held in the exquisite Salone Capitolare at the Scuola Grande di San Teodoro. The acoustics in this beautiful concert hall enhance the sounds of the stringed instruments. We'll cap the night off with drinks in a lovely nearby waterfront garden bar.

Get Your Art On

The Peggy Guggenheim museum is one of the most interesting and iconic modern art museums in Europe. It’s located in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, the only unfinished building in Venice purchased by Peggy Guggenheim. Enjoy works by famous artists such Picasso, Mirò, Dalí, Braque, or Kandinsky, just to name a few. Feet getting tired? Grab a cappuccino at the museum cafe and take a break in the museum’s open air sculpture garden.
