EXPERIENCE:

Enjoy a private tour to visit the most important and famous museums in Venice, the Accademia Galleries. Inside, your guide will take you to see the extraordinary collection of Venetian paintings created between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries by great masters who made the history of European painting. You can admire works belonging to the Byzantine art, to the Gothic period, until you’ll meet the Renaissance artists such as Bellini, Giorgione, Tintoretto and Carpaccio and the 1600 “landscape artists” such as Longhi, Canaletto and Guardi.
