The Journey
Full tour description
The city veiled in silence and secrets
Your honeymoon begins in Venice, cradled by shimmering canals and reflections. Guided by Lorenzo and Ottavia, a private walking tour reveals the city’s most iconic corners, culminating in the elegant heart of St. Mark’s Square. Yet true enchantment awaits after dark: with exclusive after-hours access, you and your beloved step inside the golden glow of St. Mark’s Basilica, alone with the mosaics and the profound silence. The next day, drift across the lagoon to Torcello and a hidden convent, where your passionate guides lead you through sacred beauty and peaceful solitude, far from the usual paths, deep into Venice’s secret soul.
Venice’s artisan soul and Verona’s romantic grace
Before leaving Venice, step into the authentic heart of Dorsoduro, where tradition breathes in every crafted detail. Meet a gondola maker in his historic squero and witness the art that shapes these elegant vessels, guided by centuries of craftsmanship. Then, aboard a high-speed train, journey to Verona: a city steeped in poetry and passion. With a private guide, explore its UNESCO-listed core, from Juliet’s fabled balcony to the ancient Roman Arena, where every stone murmurs timeless tales of love and longing.
Savoring the soil, embracing the shore
In the heart of Valpolicella, the journey unfolds through sunlit vineyards and enchanting hills steeped in tradition. You’ll be welcomed into a prestigious Amarone winery, where age-old cellars cradle the patient art of winemaking. Wander among the drying grapes, and discover the secrets behind one of Italy’s boldest and most refined wines. As the tasting ends, the landscape softens and transforms. Here, Lake Garda stretches wide: a mirror of sky, bordered by poised villas and a serene hush. In this quiet embrace, the world fades away, leaving only the delicate dance of light and memory
Lake Garda, a retreat for the senses
Sail to the enchanting Isola del Garda for an exclusive private tour of its historic villa and lush gardens, lovingly nurtured by the noble family who still calls it home. Raise a glass in a lakeside aperitif, where elegance flows as effortlessly as the gentle breeze caressing the lake. Your final day is yours to savor: indulge in a serene spa retreat or embark on a private motorboat adventure along the lemon-scented terraces of Limone sul Garda. Whichever path you choose, your journey concludes in perfect harmony, bathed in beauty, tranquility, and eternal grace.
