Highlights
  • Basilica di San Marco - The thousand-year-old private chapel of the Doge of Venice, later cathedral and seat of the city’s patriarchate since 1807, is also known as the Golden Basilica, due to the pure gold mosaics that cover it externally and internally, which tell of the ancient and the new Testament.
    From the Loggia under the Quattro Cavalli a splendid view of Piazza San Marco
  • Doge’s Palace - The political center of the Serenissima Republic of Venice, seat of its main institutions and residence of the Doge.
    It stands directly on the San Marco pier, apparently light thanks to its unmistakable Gothic-Venetian architectural style.
    Inside there are works of art of great beauty, from the Scala dei Giganti to the Scala d’Oro, to the Sala del Maggior Consiglio, where the enormous painting on canvas of Paradise, painted by Tintoretto, stands out.
    We will then move inside the Bridge of Sighs, to see the New Prisons.
  • gondola ride - Unmissable Venetian experience, swinging on the water along the internal canals of Venice on a typical gondola, to have a view of the city from its most characteristic angle.

This is a travel agency recommended for package tours. - I have more than 25 years of experience as an Accompagnatorice Turistico Giapponese (Japanese tour conductor) in Venice, and when it comes to Japanese groups, Albatravel always plans well, with good time and content, and our customers are very satisfied. Until 10 years ago, we also planned weddings, and I was always involved. Young Japanese couples are very satisfied with the planning, and we always receive many words of thanks and gratitude. I think Albatravel is a very good travel agency for Japanese customers.

Good day out - As a couple we often have visited Venice a city you can visit any time and find something new. On this occasion we decided to take a guide to visit parts of the city. We perhaps had missed on previous visits. We were aware of friends who had used Albatravel Venice. So decided to give them a try. A guide met us was on time providing a professional service and helped us discover several locations we had never seen before the visit was carried out in imperfect English. The day was enjoyable, relaxed and not rushed.

An unforgettable trip - We couldn't leave Venice without living the experience of a ride on a typical gondola. We didn't want to risk hiring a gondola at the last minute and not finding it... Therefore, to avoid problems we contacted our agency, which suggested we book through this operator. It has been a wonderful and super romantic experience...sailing through the canals of Venice, without rushing, in an original gondola... a dream...plus we were able to see parts of Venice that would otherwise be impossible. We recommend it to everyone and thanks to Albatravel for making our dream possible!

Tour of the islands - We organized the tour of the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello on a beautiful sunny day and it was a wonderful experience because our guide is a native of Burano, so we explored the hidden corners of this beautiful island. Then he advised us to eat at the trattoria da romano, everything was very good at the right price, we would recommend albatravel

Excellent tour if you have limited time in Venice! - We booked this tour to visit the islands of Venice and Albatravel was recommended to us. It was an excellent choice, especially for those with limited time to explore the city. Thanks to this tour, we discovered many interesting things about the islands in just over half a day. Highly recommended!
