- Welcome to Venice.
- This is probably one of the most unique
and romantic cities I've ever been to.
And I think the thing
I'm most excited about
is getting in a gondola and
cruising through the canals.
- And we want to wander around the streets
and just get totally lost
in these little alley ways.
Venice, we're gonna have a good time.
(slow mandolin music)
Venice is without a doubt
the most unique city on the planet.
Navigating Venice isn't like navigating
your normal city.
- I don't know how he's
finding his way around,
because there are no
street signs anywhere.
There's just these little alley ways.
- [Male Host] And every now
and then, you break free
in those dank little alley ways,
and you come into an area like this.
This right here is a fairy tale land.
- Now for the thing I've
most been looking forward to,
the gondola ride.
It's so fun.
We were watching all these gondolas go by
with the gondoliers in
their striped shirts
and trying to keep the boat balanced.
This is so much fun.
I've always dreamed of
riding in a gondola,
and now I'm in Venice,
Italy riding in one.
- I'm on the Grand Canal part,
and this is the main street of Venice.
It's very wide, and most of the boats
go up and down here,
and the only way to get around this town
is by taking a boat or by walking.
- I don't know how it can
get any better than that,
but now we're gonna sit down
to a really nice Italian dinner.
Mmm.
Italian yoki.
The best.
(cork pops)
(toasting in Italian)
- Everybody's in a good mood,
'cause you're just kinda floating along.
How can you ever be in
a bad mood in Venice?
(Man sings in Italian)
- It does not get any
more romantic than this.
Going through the canals of Venice
with an Italian man serenading you.
("Ciao Venezia")
I have never been to a
glass factory before.
So this is gonna be really interesting.
It's amazing to see
these guys blowing glass,
and then shaping them into these animals,
and all different kinds of things.
Wow.
What you see in here
is not your traditional
chandelier or vase.
It's these intricate,
colorful pieces of art.
Absolutely gorgeous.
- This is the terrace here at St. Mark's,
and I have to say it's
one of the best views
I've ever seen.
You have the whole square down there.
All the people mulling about,
the cafes,
the port over there.
This is a nice place to hang out.
- This place is totally
different than Venice,
where Venice has kind of the drab colors,
Burano has these bright colored houses.
It's almost like the Caribbean,
and it's just this cute,
adorable little town
right along this little canal.
- Venice,
there are no words.
I had no idea how stunningly beautiful
this place would be.
- [Female Host] It's
been such a great trip,
and we will definitely be back soon.
