Description

Discover the beauty of Venice in comfort and luxury with a private boat tour. Avoid the crowds and lengthy walks, and explore the city's stunning canals from the comfort of a water taxi and gondola. Your expert guide will provide fascinating insights into the city's history and culture as you take in its most famous landmarks. Choose a tour that lasts as long or as short as you wish: from 1 hour to 4.5 hours. Your tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel or any other location of your choice in Venice. Your private water taxi will be waiting nearby for a seamless start to your experience. From there, you'll embark on an unforgettable journey through the city's canals, taking in highlights such as the Frari Chapel, San Polo Square, and the Doge's Palace. As you glide under charming bridges and along dreamy canals on your gondola ride, keep your camera at the ready to capture the 15th-century San Rocco school and church, and make a stop at San Polo Square, where Venetians used to organize bullfights for Carnevale. Next, head to the lively Rialto market, where locals shop for fresh fish and produce, and admire the grand Rialto Bridge as you approach it by boat. Take some time to browse the local delicacies, grab a snack or drink, and do some souvenir shopping. The tour's final stop is Piazza San Marco, where you'll marvel at the mosaics of St Mark's Basilica, its clock tower, and the Campanile. Take in stunning views of Doge's Palace, which served as the government administration center for the region for over 1000 years. Your tour ends in the city center, or back at your hotel, leaving you with lasting memories of your intimate and luxurious exploration of Venice by water.
