IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE WORLD’S MOST UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL CITY

A Texas Exes exclusive! Experience Venice's enchanting magic on this custom-designed, small-group tour. Spend seven luxurious nights in a quiet yet cosmopolitan neighborhood away from the crowds and immerse yourself in the water-based lifestyle of this ancient city. With every detail personally selected by your engaging tour host and long-time Texas Exes favorite Adam Sparks of Sofia Travel, you'll go beyond the standard tourist itineraries to explore hidden islands, marvel at golden mosaics, interact with local artisans, enjoy local delicacies, and be surprised by the stunning exhibits at Venice's famous worldwide art show, the Biennale. From humble fishermen to five-star grandeur, experience a side of Venice that most people never see.

A NOTE FROM YOUR TOUR LEADER

There is simply no other city on the planet that compares to Venice. Venice is a city of superlatives: it’s the most beautiful, the most singular, the most fascinating, the most romantic. But sometimes, in the rush of modern tourism, the magic of Venice is lost on travelers who are quickly shuttled in and out of its major sites.

Having first led Texas Exes travelers to Venice in 2015, I kept hitting the same problem: a couple of days in Venice is not enough! So I’ve spent the last many years personally crafting this unique seven-night journey. I hope that you will join me as we go off-the-beaten-path to showcase the very best that Venice has to offer, from the the workshops of traditional gondola makers to musical performances in stunning settings to a private tour of a world-class glass art studio on the island of Murano. From our hotel in a charming, quiet residential neighborhood, easily walkable to both quaint piazzas and Venice’s major sites, we’ll soak up the history, culture, cuisine and lifestyle of the world’s most enchanting city.

I look forward to personally sharing with you this one-0f-a-kind experience!
