Detailed Description

Photographs will help you to retell the tales of your travels for years after your journey has ended. This 8-day tour of Veneto and the Po Delta is meant for photography enthusiasts and working professionals, keen amateurs, and first-timers. The history of Venice and the contemporary lives of its locals look remarkably different through the lens. Discover avifauna and marshlands, fishing villages and seaside levees to turn your exploration into a re-livable journey that begins with your arrival at Marco Polo International Airport. Your private transfer will meet you at baggage claim and escort you to your hotel situated on the main island of Venice.

Delight in an introductory guided tour to gain your bearings and provide insight into the discovery tours to come. The next morning, your guide will meet you and your camera after breakfast ready to lead you along the grandeur of Venice’s rich history. Visit the vibrant Rialto Market before continuing to Saint Mark’s Square and the encompassing monuments.

In the evening, you will embark on a tour of the bacari, wine bars that often serve accompanying traditional small plates.

Traverse the Venetian lagoon the next day as you visit the islands of Burano and Murano. The former contains a traditional fishing village while the latter is home to the remarkable glassblowing craftsmen as decreed by the Doge nearly a millennium ago.
