Day 1 : Venice – The Island
The floating city of Venice, one of the most extraordinary cities in the world, was built on 118 islands in the middle of the Venetian Lagoon at the head of the Adriatic Sea. It seems impossible for such a grand city to be floating in a lagoon of water, reeds, and marshland. You have to be there to believe it.
Famous Russian writer, Alexander Herzen said:
“To build a city where it is impossible to build a city is madness in itself, but to build there one of the most elegant and grandest of cities is the madness of genius.”
Places to Visit
• The iconic Gondola ride
• Rialto Bridge
• The Bridge of Sighs
• Libreria Acqua Alta
• Fresh Dal Moro’s Pasta
• Gelato at world-famous Gelatoteca SuSo
• Wine and Cicchetti at Bàcaros – Snack/Wine bars
Day 1 : Venice – Murano, Burano and the Casino
The tiny island of Burano is an Instagrammer’s dream. However, the brightly coloured fishermen’s houses of Burano were painted shades of pink, green, and yellow long before any social media apps even existed.
The island of Murano is renowned for its long tradition of glass-making. Ferry-loads of visitors come to explore the Museo del Vetro, which tells the story of glass through the centuries, and to shop for locally crafted souvenirs.
Know how the grand city of Venice was built !!

Your Host – Suyash Agarwalla
Hello people, I am a Chartered Accountant and I love to travel. I gave up a lucrative career to follow my passion for driving and exploring — and also to show people the world in this style.
I will be hosting you on this trip. The itinerary is offbeat and the experiences are handpicked, curated to give you an experience of a lifetime.
“We seek to solve a lot of problems and stress related to travel, to make it more convenient, exciting, explorative, and thrilling.”
We go the extra mile to witness the extraordinary. To get that dopamine and adrenaline rush.
We believe there is no better way to explore a country than by car, hitting the roads.
I hope you believe in this concept and give UNT a chance to create unforgettable memories.
We will have one hell of a time — hope to see you there! Thank you so much.
