About this activity

Experience the unparalleled beauty of Venice on this luxurious private Grand Canal tour. With no roads, Venice is a city of canals, bridges, and breathtaking views, built on 126 islands in the Adriatic lagoon. Your journey begins at Piazza San Marco, where you’ll meet your expert guide beneath the Winged Lion’s Column. After an introduction to Venice’s rich history, you’ll step aboard a private water taxi to explore the city’s most famous waterway—the Grand Canal.

Relax as you glide past the Renaissance and Baroque architecture of Venice’s grand palaces and iconic landmarks, including the Rialto Bridge and Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute. With a complimentary glass of prosecco in hand, you’ll feel the wind in your hair and the sun on your face as your guide shares fascinating stories about the city’s history, culture, and enduring romance.

This unforgettable journey concludes back at Saint Mark’s Square, leaving you with memories of Venice’s timeless beauty and charm.
