Tour Details

Daydreaming about Venice’s charming water canals, sunsets and historic multi-colored buildings? You can see it all on this full-day tour from Rome. Reach Europe’s most romantic city in just a few hours by high-speed train! You'll be met by a tour leader at Termini train station, and escorted all the way to Venice, which takes just 3 hours.

Board a waterbus at the vaporetto stop just outside of the station - an unbeatable way to see the gondolas skimming the lagoon! After your vaporetto ride, head to St. Mark’s Square, the heart and soul of Venice’s historical centre. Venture through its narrow, romantic alleys (called calli), go shopping or sip an Italian coffee at a terrace table and watch the world go by.

You definitely cannot miss a selfie on the Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri). Enjoy an aperitivo or cicchetto, as the locals call it: a mix of small savory side dishes on the way back to the train station, and start your journey back to Rome.
