Guidekin's take

A long day trip from Milan to Venice by coach or high speed train, with a guided walk to St Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge and a boat ride on the lagoon included.

Food, drinks and the Venice access fee on peak days are extra, and hotel pickup exists only on the private tier. 4.76 from 433 reviews at €159 per person.

In our comparison: #16 of 24 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
