Discover Venice and the Veneto

This seven-night small-group tour from Just You begins with a transfer from Venice to Bassano del Grappa, a town known for its wooden Palladian Bridge which has charmed visitors for centuries. Days alternate between guided walks and free time here, allowing space to linger over grappa tastings or a café terrace.

Venice is a highlight, with a private boat from the airport to a walking tour featuring St Mark’s Basilica, Scala Contarini del Bovolo and the Rialto Bridge, then a chance to explore the labyrinth of alleys. Verona follows, its Roman amphitheatre and Juliet’s Balcony bringing Shakespeare’s Verona into sharper focus.

Before the return, the Dolomites provide a change of scenery with mountain villages like San Martino di Castrozza and views from Rolle Pass. Despite the travel and early starts, the pace offers a good mix of structure and free time to make the Veneto your own for the week.
