Remember, a Soirée Tour Manager is recommended for groups of 6 or more travelers. That means you have a built-in concierge during your trip. Your Tour Manager will make sure the logistics of your trip go smoothly, help you with special requests along the way, offer cultural information and travel tips, orient you to each city, walk you to that market or site that might be hard to find on your own, teach you how to eat the foods of the region, recommend favorite restaurants, and help you arrange your free time plans.

Day 1: Venice arrival
Welcome to Venice—A city like none other! Be whisked away by private water taxi to your hotel in the heart of Venice.
Established when mainlanders were desperate to escape the barbarian hordes of the early middle ages, this water city became a maritime and trade power lasting more than 1,000 years.
There is no motorized traffic on its narrow, winding streets; nothing but pedestrians.
Today you'll take time to explore, relax, and dine in this elegant city.
Dinner most nights is at your own expense but your Tour Manager will be happy to make recommendations or book reservations for you.
Day 2: Venice immersion
This morning you'll enjoy a private tour of the intriguing Doge's Palace with an expert local guide.
Spend the balance of the day as you like: make a mask, ride a gondola, or shop & stroll.
It's a perfect evening for a cicchetti crawl! Cicchetti are Venetian tapas, and this cultural experience will take you to interesting corners and alleyways.
Day 3: Venice Lagoon exploration
Visit the most interesting and beautiful islands of the Venetian lagoon by private boat with time for lunch on one of the islands. In total, about 6 leisurely hours.
The rest of the day is yours for exploration in fascinating Venice.
