11 LUXURY EXPERIENCES IN VENICE Venice is the most romantic place in the world, but it s even better when there is no one around. With this quote, Woody Allen perfectly describes Venice, seizing the very essence of a unique city, fragile and extraordinary. Venice is a city where, to find out where you are going, you have to through away the map, because you don t want to know at any cost where you are, you just want to let yourself be captured by an atmosphere that can be described only by those who experience it. As written by the famous Venetian writer Tiziano Scarpa, Why fighting the labyrinth? Indulge in it, for once. Don t worry, let the street choose your way, and not your way choose the street. Learn to drift, to wander. To us, this is the essence of Venice. VipServiceItalia, founded in Venice by Venetians, proposes some exclusive private tours to get to know Venice and her lagoon together with guides that are fully belonging and moving through them. Please check our catalogue to see the full range.
