Unforgettable Venice from Porec including Novigrad & Umag

4.4/5
45 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.

    It was a VERY long journey which started long before breakfast was served in our hotel and ended after the evening dinner service ended - I feel the hotel could have done more to accommodate the guests taking this excursion.

    De hele dag was fantastisch. Prima communicatie vooraf vanuit tuimusement. Transfer van vamping naar Pprec pewcies op tijd en prima chauffeur. Comfortabele boottrip met deskundige begeleiding.interessante informatie over ontstaan van Venetie. Leuk om te weten! Puntje van kritiek: Een jongen nracht ons vanuit het transfer busje naar de bootterminal . Die mocht wel een communicatie cursus krijgen. Zei geen woord en er kon geen lachje vanaf. Verder werden er veel extra opties aangeboden op boot.
