We have crafted a number of daily tours that you are invited to take advantage of for a focused look at something special. Various optional special tours are offered twice a day on Friday and Saturday at the base of the Campanile (bell tower) at the central city cathedral (at San Marco). Tours last for two hours, leaving leisure time for wandering, shopping, individual discovery and relaxation. |
