"Elegant
palazzi, romantic gondolas, and the legendary Piazza San Marco."
The attractions of Venice are endless - from the lively splendor
of St. Mark's square to the exquisite architecture that lines its
shores - you will discover an ethereal city like no other on earth.
Wander through countless narrow
cobble-stoned streets and surrender your imagination to Venice's
romantic past. Step over graceful bridges and watch gondolas glide by
- listen to the lingering melodies of a gondolier's song. You will be
enchanted and captivated.
Visit the islands of Murano or Burano
and watch expert glassblowers perform their centuries old craft -
producing extraordinarily beautiful objects.
Mostly important, this 6-night Venice
trip is designed for those who want to explore Venice in depth, enjoy
the local culture as well as the beauty at their own paces. While
you are in Venice, you can either join Ann & Larry's personal tour
itinerary or do the things you desire to do at leisure.
