Description

Step into the enchanting waterways of Venice, Italy, with a private two-hour canal cruise that reveals both the iconic Grand Canal and the city's hidden gems. Glide through the heart of Venice in a luxurious motorboat, guided by an expert who shares captivating stories and local history throughout your journey.

Your adventure begins with breathtaking views of St Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace from the water, offering a unique perspective on these world-famous landmarks. As you cruise along, you'll pass under the magnificent Rialto Bridge and admire the grandeur of the Accademia Gallery and bridge.

Explore the quieter side of Venice as your boat winds through the secret canals of Cannaregio and Dorsoduro. Discover the fascinating Jewish Ghetto on foot and witness the artistry of gondola craftsmen at the historic Squero San Trovaso shipyard. Each stop immerses you deeper into the authentic spirit of the city.

The itinerary also includes a rare entrance through the Porta dell’Acqua into the impressive Arsenale, Venice’s historic shipyard. Throughout the tour, your English-speaking guide ensures a personalized and insightful experience, perfect for small private groups of up to 15 guests.

This private cruise is suitable for all fitness levels but requires stepping down into the boat, making it less accessible for those with limited mobility. Tours operate in all weather conditions, so dress appropriately and prepare to be amazed. Secure your spot now for an unforgettable Venetian adventure before spaces fill up!
