GRAND CANAL BOAT TOUR - Winter Edition

'A great way to spend a 20th Wedding Anniversary'
Mike & Leesa from Colorado, USA

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 there so many palaces with deferring 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 famous owners) . Our narrated tour helps you to recognise the palaces, who lived where, why poets & writers such as Shelly, Byron & Browning loved this city.

This 70 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 water, the facades of the city can only be seen from the canals. Enjoy a glass of the famous Bellini cocktail while taking in these special sights. This boat tour in a private motor launch gives you a great overall view of the city, covering many of the sestieri (areas).

Tour runs rain or shine, great photo opportunities.
