In a city built on water, travelling by boat you'll be able to experience an intimate and unique experience of the worlds most beautiful city.

Travelling with one of our expert local guides of Venice you'll enjoy an informative and entertaining tour of Venice that will include the  Grand Canal, and some of the minor canals of Venice where you'll explore  these photogenic canals lined with pondering Palazzi and crossed by delicate bridges.

This tour is ideal for families and groups who can travel privately while paying the price of a regular scheduled group tour. For those who don't like to walk sit back and enjoy a truly unique way of touring a city where you'll enter the narrowest of canals and pass under the lowest of  bridges as you enter the "Hidden Vence".

In a two-hour boat tour you'll see more of Venice than the average tourist in Venice sees during their stay in the city. As you cruise down the Grand Canal we'll introduce you to the splendid palaces, churches, bridges, gardens and warehouses that line this famous waterway. Learn about the origins and evolution of Venice 's most important street, a waterway that curves its way along an Ancient riverbed that divides the city of Venice in two.

After the boat tour of the Grand Canal explore some of the lesser known parts of the city. Visit the Jewish Ghetto in the Cannregio district of Venice, travel through the San Polo district of Venice where you can see some of the oldest buildings in Venice. Ply the waters of the Guidecca to admire the play of light on Palladio's Redentore and San Giorgio churches.
