Insider tips

  • ★Wear comfortable, water-resistant shoes—Venice's streets flood regularly and you'll be walking on uneven paving stones all day.
  • ★Arrive early at Rome Termini (recommended 06:35 departure) to secure your seat and avoid platform delays.
  • ★Bring a light layer; lagoon breezes are cooler than Rome, especially in shoulder seasons.
  • ★Your guide will know which cafés and spots avoid the St. Mark's Square tourist markups—ask for lunch recommendations.

Good to know

  • •Total duration includes 7 hours of train time; net sightseeing time in Venice is approximately 5–6 hours.
  • •Private tour means you travel with your own guide—no large group queues at major sites (though Basilica entry times may vary).
  • •Train departures from Rome Termini; confirm exact meeting point with supplier 24 hours before.
  • •No gondola rides typically included; Grand Canal is explored on foot and by vaporetto (water bus) where applicable.
  • •Accessibility: Venice is challenging for mobility issues due to bridges, stairs, and cobblestones; confirm with supplier if needed.
