So busy and not too easy to find our guide at first, but once we did it was an experience that we will never forget. We learnt so much about Venice in such a short time. The guide was very friendly and passionate about the area.

We were very lucky to be two in a boat with the very experienced guide Gabriela; as desired, it was more through the small canals with great insights into Venetian life.

Highlights

  • Join a 1-hour private water taxi tour of Venetian canals
  • Enjoy scenic views of the beautiful palaces
  • Have great photo opportunities of one of the most spectacular sights

Full description

Venice was built to be lived from the water and the Grand Canal is the most important and best-known arterial water road in Venice. Get ready to be blown away and enjoy your tour along the Grand Canal discovering Venice from a different perspective. Sit on your water boat and enjoy all the stories and comments regarding Venice and its palaces from your knowledgeable and qualified tour guide. Learn Venetian history and culture and savor tales and anecdotes about the most famous building and people that once lived along the most beautiful “high way” of the world. The tour will start and end in St. Mark’s Square and proceed in an “unconventional” way, showing you all the splendor of minor Venice. Then, your journey will continue through the minor canals of Venice. Return to the Grand Canal and proceed straight to the whole canal, going back to Saint Mark. Going slowly, see the haze rising on the water and the best of Venice with no noise. Visiting the Grand Canal of Venice in this way will be breathtaking, one of the most spectacular sights in the world.
