Step Into History: Explore the Venetian Sights on Foot
One of the most beautiful ways to get to know Venice is by wandering through its historic alleyways, and TPO.Travel’s guided walking tour is a wonderful place to begin. As you stroll past bustling squares and meandering canals, the tour unravels the soul of the city through the voices of passionate local guides.
Your walk takes you through some of the city’s most treasured landmarks—the grand Piazza San Marco, surrounded by architectural marvels like the Basilica of Saint Mark, the Ducal Palace, the Bell Tower, and the Procuratie. Each corner speaks of Venice’s thousand-year-old legacy.
Continue past Santa Maria Formosa, a stunning church that stands as a tribute to the city’s resilience, and into the Campo SS. Giovanni e Paolo, fondly known as the “Pantheon of Venice.” Marvel at tales of Venetian nobility, Marco Polo’s house, and the historical Malibran Theatre, where past and present collide in a seamless narrative.
This tour is more than sightseeing—it’s a deep dive into 1600 years of Venetian glory.
Rock and Roll Meets Rialto: Dine at Hard Rock Cafe Venice
Once you’ve taken in the city’s classical elegance, pivot to something a bit more contemporary with a stop at the Hard Rock Cafe Venice—a haven for music lovers and burger aficionados. Tucked near the iconic Rialto Bridge, this spot fuses American spirit with Italian vibrancy.
Born in 1971 in London, the Hard Rock brand has grown into a global phenomenon, and its Venice location doesn’t disappoint. From burgers to memorabilia, you’ll be surrounded by over 74,000 iconic rock ‘n’ roll artifacts, including guitars and costumes from legends like Eric Clapton and The Beatles.
Savor a juicy burger, sip on a signature cocktail, and soak in the electric atmosphere that’s one part music museum, one part dining sensation.
Lagoon Treasures: A Boat Excursion to Murano, Burano, and Torcello
No trip to Venice is complete without sailing the emerald waters of the Venetian Lagoon. TPO.Travel’s full-day boat excursion to the islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello offers a panoramic experience of local life beyond the main island.
Your journey begins aboard a sleek water taxi, where you can soak up views from the panoramic terrace and listen to live commentary from your guide. The first stop, Murano, is world-famous for its glass-making heritage. Witness artisans at work during a live demonstration in a local factory, and browse glass boutiques filled with dazzling treasures.
Next is Burano, known for its brightly colored houses and delicate lace. Wander the streets with your camera at the ready—this is easily one of the most picturesque places in Italy.
Finally, step into serenity on Torcello, the oldest of the three islands. Far less crowded, it offers a peaceful contrast with its ancient cathedral, stone bridges, and a timeless atmosphere.
Savor the Flavors: Wine Tasting in a Venetian Bàcaro
When in Venice, do as the Venetians do—indulge in a relaxing wine tasting in a traditional bàcaro (a local tavern). This small-group experience by TPO.Travel transports you into the heart of Italy’s wine culture.
You’ll sample two high-quality Italian wines paired with cold cuts or “cicchetti”, which are small, flavorful snacks unique to the region. But this isn’t just a tasting—it’s an education. With the help of a local sommelier, you’ll learn how to observe, swirl, sniff, sip, and pair wine like a pro.
Italy is the land of vino, and Venice adds its own flair. Whether you’re a casual drinker or an aspiring connoisseur, this intimate tasting session is a celebration of taste, tradition, and terroir.
Classic Romance: Gondola Ride & Walking Tour Combo
Few experiences are as quintessentially Venetian as a gondola ride. But pair it with a guided walking introduction, and you have the perfect half-day itinerary for anyone who wants to explore Venice’s soul.
Begin with a 20-minute walking tour through the San Marco district. Here, your guide shares lesser-known facts and hidden corners of Venice that you’d otherwise miss. After soaking in this intimate knowledge, you’ll reach the gondola station and board your vessel.
Glide along Venice’s legendary canals for 25 to 30 minutes, passing elegant palazzos, quaint bridges, and waterside cafes. Hear the gentle splash of oars, admire the architectural reflections on the water, and feel transported to another century.
With TPO.Travel, this combo offers not just a ride, but a poetic memory you’ll cherish forever.
Opera at Night: A Soulful Serenade in the Floating City

Thanks to TPO.Travel’s partnerships with local venues, you can enjoy priority access to a variety of operas performed across the city’s most atmospheric settings—churches, underground halls, and historic museums.
From the grandeur of St. Paul’s Within the Walls to intimate arias at Valdese Church, there’s something for every musical palate. Experience the powerful voices of The Three Tenors, the emotional melodies of Verdi and Puccini, or discover emerging local talents.
