- A private visit on the theme of your choice
- Your personal M&O assistant 24 hours a day
Timeless Venice, the city of music par excellence, where great composers have lived (Monteverdi, Vivaldi...) and where its splendors have inspired many others (Handel, Gluck, Puccini). The sumptuous Teatro La Fenice alone is well worth the trip, with its New Year's gala an institution in its own right. This year, it will be directed by Michele Mariotti, with two superb artists, the soprano Rosa Feola and the star tenor, the admirable Jonathan Tetelman. But the exclusive dive into classical music doesn't stop there. Another evening features a performance of La Traviata at Palazzo Barbarigo Minotto in the palace's various rooms, lit by candlelight in a spirit worthy of Caravaggio.
With a traditional Venetian dinner, the final highlight of the tour is a private guide who will take you on a discovery tour of the lakeside city on a theme of your choice: “Unusual Venice”, “Music in 17th- and 18th-century Venice”, “Art in Venice” or “Daily life of the aristocracy in the 18th century”.

Venice secret
Venice secret
Hidden quotes, stolen views, and all the little details that would go unnoticed if our eyes were not accompanied
- a walk in the Sestière de Castello, to discover the ancient Venice of Venice, Venice of the Venetians.
OR
- a walk from the Rialto Bridge to the old Ghetto, the first closed Jewish quarter in Europe, to discover the light and charm of the Sestière di Cannaregio.
Venice, the city of merchants
What would Venice have been without international trade? A fascinating tour of the Rialto, the economic centre of the Serenissima, starting at the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, to slip between the past and present of life in this unique city.
Art in Venice
The Church of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari and Scuola Grande di San Rocco
Two prestigious monuments for three essential painters, in parallel with the evolution of funerary sculpture. From the first Renaissance in the space of Bellini, to Assunta and Pala Pesaro of Titian, and the masterpieces of Tintoretto, for a trip to the heart of the art of Venice.
Venice, the city of music
In seventeenth-century Venice, music was everywhere: in theaters, in palaces, even in its four hospitals, charitable institutions where young orphan girls were trained in singing or instruments. True Venetian originality, these ospedali produced famous concerts throughout Europe.
Daily life of the aristocracy in the 18th century
The XVIII century Museum: Ca 'Rezzonico
The everyday life of an old aristocracy, through paintings, furniture, precious objects: the delightful spectacle of the ballroom and its frescoes in trompe-l'oeil, the brilliance of the skies of the Tiepolo, the memory of the Venice of Canaletto.
