Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Canal Grande, 30100 Venice Italy
The Grand Canal of Venice is the most spectacular 'high street' in the world. The beautiful palaces were constructed over hundreds of years and slowly the Grand Canal became what it is today.
Our tour helps you to imagine what the Grand Canal was like when there were still gardens, 'squeri' (where the gondolas were built), warehouses, and stone-masons. Why are there so many palaces with differing styles of architecture? Why are there those moorish and eastern style windows? Our guide will entertain you with stories of the most historical palaces (many having famous owners).
Our narrated tour helps you recognize each palace, who lived where, and to discover why the poets & writers such as Shelley, Byron, & Browning loved this city.
This 60 min tour includes a cruise along the city's more secluded waterways to enjoy the picturesque small bridges and 'off the beaten track'' sights, to introduce you to a quieter Venice.
Venice was built to be appreciated from the water, the facades of the city can only be seen from the canals.
This boat tour is enjoyable for all ages and gives your feet a well-earned rest! Our boat tour in a private motor-launch gives you a great overall view of the city, covering many of the sestieri (areas).
Duration: 1 hour
Pass By: Ponte di Rialto, Ruga degli Orefici (Rialto) San Polo, 30125 Venice Italy
The Rialto bridge is one of the sights included in this tour.
Pass By: Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, Campo de la Salute Dorsoduro 1, 30123 Venice Italy

Once we were on the boat, it was an amazing experience. Our tour guide spoke wonderful English and was very informative. The only part that spoilt was having to chase the meeting point person who was late and didn't apologise to anyone or really talk to anyone or explain what was happening. She came cross quite rude and not a good representation for your company.
Really nice to see another side of Venice from the water. Our guide was knowledgeable and full of interesting bits of information about the sights. Special thanks to the tour company for accommodating us despite a mix up in the time of the tour!
