Veneto 2026 Calendar of Events

We enjoyed a relaxing and entertaining cruise around the lagoon, and the live music made it all the better. We particularly liked being personally welcomed aboard and offered a choice of seating. The cocktails and chiccetti were delicious. Also the information given about the Arsenalle and the hands sculpture was interesting, if a little difficult to hear. The only thing lacking, I thought, were safety instructions, just in case of troubles.

This was an excellent tour. We started with a boat ride to Murano and viewed a glass factory and museum. It was beautiful! Then we went to Burano to explore the small, beautiful town Great lunch with non-tourist prices. We could have stayed in Burano all day!St Mark’s is stunning and our guide was very interesting to listen to (w headsets so we could be spaced apart, which was nice!) The Doge palace is stunning but this is a LONG tour with lots of standing and lots of steps - very difficult for older and mobility impaired. The paintings are amazing and there is so much opulence it is almost overwhelming. In nice contrast is the gondola ride which was serene and relaxing.I would recommend this tour as a good start to any visit to Venice.

This was a worthwhile trip! Very comfortable and organized and the views were beautiful! I would definitely recommend this cruise!!

An amazing introduction to Venice through quieter neighborhoods you likely would have missed otherwise. I’ll be recommending this tour to friends, and I’ll probably take it again whenever I make it back to beautiful Venice!

this was a wonderful walking tour to find out all about venice in a way you wouldn't suspect or know. there's a rich history that was shared with us by our guide. so many bridges!

We accidentally signed up for the Murano and Burano portion of this tour by accident, but it turned out to be an awesome experience. Our guide Francesca was very informative about the history of Venice as we passed by on the ferry as well as the two islands. The glass blowing and lace making demonstrations were well worth the trip.

We had a really nice time meeting other travelers and working for our pasta and tiramisu. Now I understand how much effort goes into handmade pasta. We had a fun time. Recommend the experience! Tanya was our host and teacher - very knowledgeable and a pasta expert. She was cool and fun!

Come hungry! Lots of food, good information about background of recipe and easy flowing wine. Just as described. I loved it!

We absolutely loved this sunset tour! It was so amazing !!! Tomasso, our skipper, was super friendly, knowledgeable and fun! We truly enjoyed every second of this Venetian boat ride! The sunset was gorgeous. So glad we decided to spend our first evening in Venice doing this tour. So worth it!

We were warmly welcomed by our guide. He took an interest in our reasons for booking the tour and gave us an introduction to kayaking—specifically covering the unique requirements of navigating Venice's canals. Then, our small group of four set off. In the style of a classic city tour, we were treated to information and anecdotes along the way. By the time we returned to the starting point, we had completely lost track of time. The experience was neither overly strenuous nor boring, and it even held a few surprises.

A wonderful way to learn about Venice from the water. Our boat captain was very knowledgeable about the history.

Had a great tour with Alessandro. He was a wealth of information and gave us more than we had ever expected. Highly recommend.

Elegantly grand location, good range of classical music, with beautifully dressed musicians. Visibility isn’t great as the musicians are on a low stage area and the audience’s chairs are on the same level so a tall person in front of you will block your view.

Absolutely amazing experience! Beautiful music, wonderful musicians, gorgeous venue! Highlight of our time in Venice!

We thoroughly enjoyed the concert. The orchestra were amazing and in a spectacular environment. I would highly recommend Vivaldi’s Four Seasons performance as a highlight to a tour of Venice.

Very knowledgeable and engaging We learned so much about the city’s history and every day life. Highly recommend!
