Food, wine, art and history intertwine on this journey into the cultural soul of Italy, from the gastronomic pleasures of Verona to the architecture of Milan
9. LEGENDARY VENICE
Your destination today is Venice, northern Italy’s famed Renaissance city of canals, for a two-night stay. Your renowned hotel, the Hotel Gritti Palace, Venice, is set on the Grand Canal; built in 1525, it is the epitome of elegance and gracious service, annually making numerous “best” European hotel lists. Take a walking tour of Venice with a local guide that ends with a visit to the Doges’ Palace, official residence of Venetian rulers in the Middle Ages. Tonight, a Tauck Exclusive – an after-hours guided visit to St. Mark’s Basilica (subject to availability and day of the tour may vary); enjoy more time to see the mosaics, the intricate floor, and the treasures acquired by the Crusaders without the daytime crowds.

10. VENETIAN DELIGHTS
Venice defines the word art by itself – in its passion and eccentricity, in its streets that are a maze of canals arched by bridges and lined with magnificent palazzi demanding attention. Spend a full day exploring on your own before joining us for the iconic Venetian experience, a serenade aboard a gondola ride along the canals. Join us tonight for a farewell cocktail reception and dinner. Meals BD
