About this activity

The real Venetian aperitif on our Luxury Riva Aquariva!

You will experience the soul of the Venetian Lagoon in a magic and enchanting setting relaxing your senses and enjoying a fresh aperitif.

A native Venetian will welcome you on board of a luxury Riva Aquariva for a special tour of the external side of Venice, the one that usually tourists don't see. You will navigate the lagoon passing in front of the most important monuments such as the Doge's Palace, the bridge of Sighs and the Prisons, continuing with St. George island, La Giudecca and the Armenian island, all seen from a unique perspective: the boat. You will have even the chance to see the entrance of the "Arsenale" of Venice, the old shipyard.

Throughout this private tour you’ll taste some traditional Venetian snacks alongside with the famous drinks, Prosecco and Bellini; you’ll explore the canals of the Lagoon in a magic and enchanting setting that will amaze you!

Our Luxury Riva is waiting for you!
