unmissable Venice

San Marco

Discover how it all begun, and how these crazy blokes got to build all this marveille from scratch. Discover how they got from tree trunks stuck in the mud to the most precious marbles in the world, and ended up covering the domes of the Basilica with real gold. A must if you are in Venice for the first time! This tour works best in the early hours or at the end of the afternoon, or during the low season, when the square is not overcrowded. The ideal end of the tour is an aperitif at the Florian Cafe, the oldest in Italy…where Hemingway and Lord Byron had their coffee in the morning, and Casanova celebrated his escape from the Piombi over a croissant and cappuccino!
