Full description

Set off on a day trip from Rome to explore Venice, Europe’s most romantic city. Enjoy a relaxing ride on a high-speed train, see the iconic St. Mark's Square, and cross the Bridge of Sighs.

Meet your tour leader at Rome's Termini train station and board a high-speed train to Venice. When you arrive in the city, get your one-way pass for Venice’s waterbus transportation. Follow your guide onto a Vaporetto (waterbus). As you ride, enjoy your first glimpse of this magical water city. Head to St. Mark’s Square, the heart and soul of Venice. From the waterfront, marvel at the magnificence of the western façade of St. Mark's Basilica. Enjoy some free time to go shopping, sip a delicious Italian coffee, or get lost in the maze of insanely romantic alleys.

Next, cross the Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri), which is among the city's most beloved and most Instagrammable locations.

On the way back to the railway station, join your tour leader for a fantastic aperitivo, or Cicchetti, as the locals call it. Sit down for a mix of small savory side dishes, typically served in a bàcari, and wash it down with a Venetian Spritz.

Return to Rome on the high-speed train with your guide.

This was such an amazing trip. Our tour guide made sure we had a wonderful train ride and showed us the sights in Venice. It was nice to tour around and then have some free time to ourselves. She even pointed out the pick pocketers at the train station. She took pictures for us and made the trip amazing!

Valentina was our tour guide and she was amazing! She walked us thru everything on where to go, platform for trains which was great because this was our first time in Europe, food recommendations, souvenir shop recommendations and even cool facts. The tour she gave us was about 20-30 min walk from the train station to st marks basilica. Overall this is great if it is your first time and if you would like a couple of facts. It was also great that everything was prepared for us(train tickets). This trip also prepared us for next time we come back to Venice where we will be able to do everything on our own.

Antonella was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the area. This was one of the best tours we had in Italy! The meeting point was easy to find, she guided us to the train station, and gave great instructions to find her at the end of the trip. We had a choice to stay with her or go off on our own and she explained how to get back. It was worth the 4 hour train ride. Beautiful to see with more than enough time to enjoy the sights without feeling rushed.
