From Florence to Venice Full day Excursion by Minivan

The tour begins around 8:00 AM from Piazza Adua, just steps from Santa Maria Novella station, and your adventure starts right away. Aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan, you'll journey through the rolling Tuscan hills and scenic Veneto landscapes on a relaxing 3.5-hour ride—just enough time to unwind before diving into the magic of Venice. Upon arrival at Piazzale Roma, where the roads end and the dream begins, you'll be ready to explore the historic heart of the Serenissima on foot. As you wander through narrow alleys, bridges, and canals, you'll come across some of the city's most iconic landmarks, including St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, and the timeless Rialto Bridge. If you'd like to explore Venice from the water like a local, you can independently purchase a daily vaporetto ticket, which gives you easy access to the main points of the city along its canals. To make your experience even more special, the package includes a charming 30-minute gondola ride—let yourself be gently carried along the water and admire Venice from a romantic, unforgettable perspective. After the ride, you’ll have free time to continue your visit: step inside St. Mark’s Cathedral, discover museums, or simply wander through the streets and let yourself be surprised around every corner. Venice is breathtaking year-round, but during Carnival, it becomes truly magical, with elegant masks and an atmosphere suspended in time. The return to Florence is scheduled for late afternoon, with arrival in the evening—an intense, exciting, and unforgettable day.
