Taking a tour of Venice is an ideal way to get a feel for the city. Located in the Veneto region, Venice is built on more than 100 small islands in the lagoon. Its streets are canals rather than roads, and the Grand Canal is the main thoroughfare, lined with Renaissance palaces. One of the most important sites in Venice is the Piazza San Marco, home to St. Mark's Basilica, tiled with Byzantine mosaics. The Campanile bell tower on the Piazza offers a view of the city.
For those who do not have time to tour the city by a guided tour, there are several self-guided walks in Venice available. These tours offer information on Venice history, architecture, and top attractions. They are offered daily at eleven in the morning, and cover both the western and eastern parts of Venice.
There are also walking tours of Venice, which take tourists through the most important landmarks. A typical walking tour begins with a boat cruise on the Grand Canal, passing by the famous Rialto Bridge. Other highlights of this tour include the secret garden, the Cannaregio neighborhood, and the Jewish Ghetto.
A private tour of Venice is the perfect option for people who love architecture and food. Tours with a local host include local food tastings, tours of the Grand canal, and wine tastings.
