Unforgettable Venice from Pula including Medulin

4.5/5
67 reviews

Built on more than 100 islands, Venice is famed for its network of dusky-blue canals, lined with elaborate architecture and criss-crossed by beautiful stone bridges. And this day trip from Istria to Venice sees you crossing the Adriatic Sea by boat for a chance to explore with free time in this romantic Italian city.

You'll arrive in style into San Basilio pier, right in the heart of Venice, to begin your discovery of 'La Serenissima.' As you wander through this fabled place, there's plenty of time to spot some of the city's highlights. Don't miss the legendary St Mark's Square – a piazza dominated by the beautiful Byzantine basilica of St Mark and its belfry.

Maybe take a gondola ride, find as many bridges as you can and dip in and out of classic eateries – there's loads to do here. You'll make your own way to the port to leave Venice in the early evening and return to Croatia having seen one of Italy's top cities.

    The pickup and transfer to & from the port in Pula was efficient and well planned. The trip to Venice itself was with Kompas. Their guides onboard the boat and around the city were tremendous. We chose only to have water taxi to & from the St Mark’s Square and used the free time to explore Venice, including a gondola, Rialto, Doge’s Palace. Venice is an amazing experience, beautiful, romantic and highly recommended

    We had a fabulous time in Venice. It was a long day but worth every minute. There was a film festival on so instead of getting the water taxis they organised a mini boat tour. It was really worth doing the trip.

    Overall enjoyed it, although it said 8 hours it turned out to be 15 hours 30 minutes. But glad we did it. We did the complete package with taxi lunch and gondola ride which was good value. The bits that could be improved seemed to go all over picking people up! And queuing for the ferry, people were just pushing in to the front!

    It is such an early start, 5.30am, when the boat doesn’t load until 7am, but once we got going, the guides were really informative. Everything was really clearly explained, with the opportunity to book the gondola, lunch etc. The timings of all the parts of the day were really clear, accurate, and ran like clockwork. A long journey back, but we managed to get our evening meal thanks to the helpful hotel staff. Long day but worth it
