You step off the vaporetto into St. Mark’s Square and the sound of water on stone sets the tempo—gulls wheel overhead, marble glints, and the campanile watches. This four‑hour private tour compresses Venice’s civic heart into a single, focused loop: the Doge’s Palace, St. Mark’s Basilica, a walking sweep through narrow calli, and a one‑hour motor‑launch along the Grand Canal and quieter side canals.
