FEATURED VENICE & PO VALLEY BARGE JOURNEYS
Highlights of the journey
Cruising the Venetian Lagoon
Drifting through Venice's lesser-known canals and out across the lagoon will give you a unique perspective on the city. Enjoy tranquil moments away from the crowds, explore artisan islands like Murano and Burano, and take in the city's famous skyline from the water.
Renaissance cities
Visit towns that appear to have been frozen in time to get a glimpse of Italy's golden age. Every city along the route offers a masterclass in Renaissance art, architecture, and ambition, from the magnificent palaces of Ferrara to the artistic treasures of Mantua.
Seafood Cuisine
Savour the finest of northern Italian cuisine, particularly its well-known seafood. Imagine local wines, handcrafted pasta, and fresh Adriatic fish served in old-fashioned trattorias or on your barge as the sun sets over the water.
Lagoon Islands
Explore charming islands with unique tales strewn throughout the Venetian Lagoon. Explore peaceful, hidden islets that seem worlds apart, take in the vibrant homes of Burano, or watch glassblowers at work in Murano.
Local Life and Open-Air Markets
Explore lively markets that are brimming with handmade goods, fresh cheeses, and seasonal produce. It's an opportunity to meet locals, learn about local cuisine, and get a close-up look at Italy's everyday magic.

My travel partner and myself have just returned from our trip to Switzerland ( May 2024 ) and wanted to put in writing our utmost gratitude to Katelyn Mulgrew and the team from Entire Travel Group for the professional, prompt and extensive service provided from start to finish. Kate was there with us every step of the way and answered any question or concern we had in a patient and understandable way, which left us with reassurance and confidence. Switzerland Grand Tour was amazing with picture postcard scenery at every turn. Every aspect of the booking was flawless, from the hotels, transportation and documentation it all worked seamlessly. Hotels were comfortable, central, welcoming and contained everything a traveller could need. Train travel throughout Switzerland is the only way to go, you just get on sit down and relax while enjoying the ever changing and spectacular scenery. I have, and, will be recommending Entire Travel Group to all my friends for any of their travel needs and, will definately be using them as my go to company for any future adventures. Thank you again to Kate and the team for helping us tick this item off our bucket list.
We had the most wonderful trip to the stunning Fiji organised by Entire Travel. Lisa Tappin was fabulous - accommodation and transfers were excellent and nothing was a problem. Highly recommend Lisa and Entire Travel Team. Thank you!!
My husband and I just returned from the most amazing trip that Zoe Condon compiled for us. Everything was perfect. From first enquiry to trip complete, Zoe was always available to answer questions big or small and offer helpful knowledgeable tips. If you are looking to visit Canada do yourself a favour and ask Zoe, her knowledge is 2nd to none. I look forward to dealing with both Zoe and Entire Travel Group for future holidays.
