Unforgettable Italian Escapades with TPO.Travel: From Gondolas to Glass in Venice and Rome

Italy, the land of la dolce vita, continues to enchant globetrotters with its irresistible blend of history, art, culture, and cuisine. And when it comes to experiencing Italy in style, TPO.Travel ensures you don’t just see the country—you feel it. Whether you’re gliding through Venetian canals on a gondola, sipping world-class wine in a hidden tavern, or uncovering the Roman Empire’s rich legacy, TPO.Travel’s tailored tours promise unforgettable memories crafted with precision and passion.

Below are five handpicked experiences that showcase the best of Venice and Rome—each crafted to make you fall deeper in love with Italy.

1. Boat Excursion to 3 Islands: Murano, Burano and Torcello

Hop aboard a comfortable water taxi and set sail across the emerald waters of the Venice Lagoon for a full-day island-hopping adventure. The journey begins at either San Marco or with an optional shuttle transfer from S. Lucia Train Station, giving flexibility to all travelers.

Your first stop is Murano, famed for its ancient glassmaking traditions. Visit a local glass factory and watch a live demonstration by a master artisan who shapes molten glass into intricate art. Afterward, explore quaint shops filled with shimmering glass souvenirs.

Next, head to Burano, a photographer’s paradise where rainbow-colored houses line the canals and delicate lacework tells stories of generations. You’ll have time to wander, shop, and perhaps taste a sweet bussolà cookie from a local bakery.

Your final stop is Torcello, the most serene of the three. With its Byzantine mosaics and peaceful atmosphere, it feels like stepping back in time. This full-day excursion is a perfect blend of culture, craftsmanship, and coastal beauty.

2. Gondola Ride and Guided Walking Introduction

Venice is a labyrinth of canals and alleyways, and this tour offers the perfect combination of both. Begin with a 20-minute guided walking introduction through the charming San Marco district. Your expert guide reveals stories behind the stone facades, from hidden courtyards to architectural wonders.

Then, glide into the soul of the city with a 25-30 minute shared gondola ride. Drifting through narrow canals, past elegant palaces and arched bridges, you’ll understand why this tradition has enchanted visitors for centuries.

It’s not just a tour—it’s a postcard-perfect memory brought to life.

3. Wine Tasting Experience – Small Group Tour

No trip to Italy is complete without indulging in its legendary wines. In this exclusive wine tasting, TPO.Travel invites you to a traditional Venetian tavern, resembling a rustic wine cellar, where you’ll be welcomed like family.

Taste two top-tier Italian wines, each paired with local cold cuts and cicchetti—bite-sized Venetian delicacies. With only a small group, your sommelier will guide you through the flavors and aromas, explaining ideal food pairings and winemaking secrets.

From the bold reds of Tuscany to crisp whites from Veneto, this is a delightful crash course in Italy’s vino culture.

4. Hard Rock Cafe Venice: Music, History, and a Great Burger

After a day of exploring Venice, step into the iconic Hard Rock Cafe for a dose of American rock ‘n’ roll and delicious dining. Located near Piazza San Marco, this spot blends classic music memorabilia with hearty meals and a lively vibe.

Did you know the Hard Rock story began in 1971 when two hungry Americans in London couldn’t find a good burger? Today, its Venice location celebrates that same spirit—with Eric Clapton’s Fender still symbolic of the chain’s rich history.

It’s more than just a meal—it’s a backstage pass to musical history with Italian flair.

5. Best of Rome: Explore Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and Pantheon – Guided Walking Tour

In the Eternal City, every street tells a story. With this 2.5-hour guided walking tour, explore Rome’s most iconic landmarks in the company of an expert English-speaking guide.

Wander through the Spanish Steps, learn the legend behind Trevi Fountain, and marvel at the architectural genius of the Pantheon. Visit Piazza Navona and hear of Bernini’s rivalry, see baroque fountains, and enjoy a short break to absorb the atmosphere.

With groups capped at 25, this intimate tour ensures you’re not just walking past history—but truly engaging with it.
