  • R

    Ryan

    Asked on February 25th, 2026

    For the Venice portion of this tour, is the stay in the island, or in Venice Mestre?

    Accommodation
    • Expeditions GatewaysOperatorWritten February 2026

      For the Venice portion of the tour, we typically offer hotels located on the island of Venice itself. In some cases, depending on availability, the hotel may be located just outside the island (such as in Mestre), but always with very convenient and easy access to Venice.

  • M

    Marina

    Asked on June 27th, 2025

    Could you please clarify the difference between "Standard" and "Premium" hotel options? Also, as a 40 yr old female solo traveler planning to join in July or August, I'm curious about the typical age range of participants on this trip. Any tips for solo travelers would also be appreciated!

    Accommodation
    Age Range
    • Expeditions GatewaysOperatorWritten June 2025
