Christmas in Venice

December 11 to December 19, 2010

Experience the Holidays as you have never before experienced them. In a setting that is like no other as mist hovers over the silent canals and Christmas good are piled high at the local markets. Is it cold ? Sure, it is winter, but it is never bitterly cold. Venice has a maritime climate thus it never gets below freezing. A warm coat and a good pair of boots will keep you snug and warm. Instead of pushing around with the crowds you can walk in the pleasantly empty Piazza San Marco at dusk and see the sky darken to a deep purple. To warm yourself stop into one of the bacaros a kind of combination pub and wine bar. Our hosts Stefano and Alberto have set up this trip to something you will remember for a long, long time. After all, not everyone has the privilege to celebrate the holidays in Venice. And best of all you can enjoy it all for $2750 which includes 7 nights in a four star hotel near Piazza San Marco, 6 dinners and 6 lunches, 6-three hour guided tours, a gondola ride, tips to the guides and round trip airport transfers. The single supplement is $410.00

Venice Off-Season
January 22 to February 2, 2011 

Winter is a time of sublime solitude in Venice. The narrow streets and the piazzas which are jam-packed with tourists during spring, summer and fall, are silent and empty. Mist hovers over the canals and when sun makes a fleeting attempt to break through the pale winter sky every stone and brick is revealed as if spot lit. No other time can you experience the magic of Venice as deeply as during the misty days of winter. 

If you are game to don a coat and boots then join us on our off-season tour to Venice to experience this fabulous city without the crowds, the noise, the high prices. Stroll through the empty streets and piazzas in the company of a knowledgeable host who will not only show you all the fantastic sights of Venice but the nooks and crannies as well. And when you need a break stop in a local bacaro and rub shoulders with the locals, all who have come for time out to nibble on an array of luscious snacks along with a glass of wine.
