What to expect

Escape the crowds and visit the top sights of Venice from the water! Tour the Grand Canal in a luxury water taxi and stop at the fascinating San Giorgio Island to climb the bell tower.

Venice was never meant to be walked, it was meant to be rowed and sailed. Get on board your own private motorboat and cruise down the Grand Canal. Take in the most beautiful palaces, like the Cà d’Oro and Cà Pesaro, and the most historic sights like the Rialto Bridge, Rialto Fish Market, St. Mark's Basilica, the Doge's Palace, and the Accademia Gallery and bridge. As you pass each one, your guide will tell you how they fit into the singular history of this unique city. Step back in time to the age when Venice's maritime empire stretched across the Mediterranean! You'll also go off the well-rowed path and explore the city’s prettiest inner canals, to get a sense of the everyday life hidden behind all this medieval splendor.

The boat tour finishes at the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, home to one of the city's most fabulous hidden gems. You'll follow your guide inside the island's abbey for a full tour of its art and architecture, then you'll be given a ticket (optional) to walk up to the bell tower. The view from the top is the very best in Venice and as you look out over the city, your guide will point out sites of interest

Finally, head back to the Doge's Palace where you got on.
