Immerse yourself in Venetian culture
Begin your Venice cultural journey with an exclusive private tour of Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, once the residence of renowned American art collector Peggy Guggenheim and now the permanent home of her legendary collection. As you wander through its grand halls, you’ll discover some of the visionary works that transformed 20th-century art—each piece reflecting Guggenheim’s unique perspective, eclectic tastes, and vibrant friendships with the artists of her time.
Following the tour, enjoy an aperitivo brunch on a private terrace with panoramic views of the city, featuring a selection of Venetian delicacies and drinks.
Venice by night
As night falls, experience Venice in a way few ever do. Embark on a sunset cruise along the Grand Canal on board a water limo, uncovering the hidden secrets and stories behind the city’s most storied landmarks.
Your evening culminates with a private, after-hours visit to the Basilica of San Marco where you can marvel at the incredible architectural and golden mosaics in total privacy.
Experience craftsmanship at its finest
Known for their distinctive creations, renowned Venice artisans will give you a private tour of their ateliers and studios. Here, you will learn all about the ancient techniques and craftsmanship that make these works priceless.
From glassblowing to sculpture, each craftsman will reveal centuries-old techniques and skills passed down through generations and you’ll see first-hand how these artists transform raw materials into rare ornaments.
Get involved in local sports
Visit the Circolo di Golf degli Alberoni on the Lido of Venice, where you can relax, network and enjoy a delicious brunch in the clubhouse with views over the golf course.
For a more immersive experience, guests can try their hand at the voga veneta, Venice’s ancient rowing technique. Suitable for all ages, this activity offers families the chance to explore the city’s scenic canals while delving into one of Venice’s centuries-old traditions.
