Visiting Venice from Rome in one day is possible, but only if the logistics run like clockwork. This tour includes hotel pickup and dropoff in Rome. High-speed train tickets to reach Venice in just 4 hours give you time for a private boat tour of Murano and Burano in the Venetian Lagoon, and time to explore the sights in and around St. Mark’s Square. Thanks to a private local guide, you will have the option to experience a gondola ride.
