ITALIAN SOJOURN May 2017 Revised ITALIAN SOJOURN May 2017 revised May 3 Arrival from USA at Venice International Airport Private transport from airport to your hotel (combination shuttle / private boat) Upon arrival at Venice Marco Polo Airport, our Representative will be waiting for you, holding a sign with your name on it. You will be transferred to the Piazzale Roma area of Venice Island by private vehicle and then from here, to your accommodation in Venice Island by private boat. The supplier may also decide to depart from Venice Airport Pier directly by boat. This Transfer is suitable for clients booked at hotels with a water door in an internal canal, as your boat driver will take you up to your hotel. If due to adverse tide conditions the canal is not reachable, Porterage Service will be arranged to ensure you an easy journey to your hotel. HOTEL: Liassidi Palace 4-stars note: walking distance of St Mark’s Square Take the rest of the day at leisure to explore, nap, wander. May 4 Take a journey into the history and culture of Venice on our Best of Venice Tour with Gondola Ride highlighting the city's most acclaimed and lesser known sights. Explore Venice's most important attractions: Saint Mark's square and Skip the line entrance to St. Mark Basilica and its terrace, Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge, Bridge of Sighs and much more! Duration of tour: 2 hours 45 mins Nowhere else on the planet is quite like Venice. Our two-and-a-half-hour Best of Venice Tour with Gondola Ride shows off the grandeur and mystique of this once-powerful maritime republic from two entirely different perspectives. First, we'll seek out the Floating City's most sought after sights on foot, enjoying skip-the-line entry to spectacular St. Mark's Basilica, as well as special access to the Basilica's terrace. We'll also explore some lesser-known corners of the city where the essence of Venetian living is writ large, before hitting the canals for that most quintessential of Venetian experiences, an unforgettable gondola ride to explore the city's beauty from the water. After the guided tour, you will have the afternoon at leisure to shop, keep exploring, visit some museums if desired (there is a Guggenheim there!) or take a boat ride to Murano Island to see the glass blowing. Venice is a city “to get lost in” so I don’t advise booking an additional formal activity for this afternoon – your hotel can arrange a small afternoon tour if you wish or you may find something spontaneously , and I encourage you to leave this afternoon/evening free in order to allow time for this spontaneity! May 5 Today you’ll take the train to Florence and begin to explore the beautiful Tuscan region. Included: an escorted transfer by boat from your hotel to the Venice train station. The escort guide will help you find your train platform and explain how to find your seats. 05/05/2017: 9981 VCE-FLR 09:00 11:05 Class: 1st Class Adults: 2 Train# From To Depart Arrive 9981 VENEZIA S LUCIA FIRENZE S M N 09:00 11:05 Upon arrival at Florence station, our local representative will be waiting for you holding a signboard with your name on it.
