Guided Grand Canal motor boat tour

Take this tour sailing by motor boat along the grand canal and you can admire the magnificent palaces, whose wide-ranging architectural styles embrace the Byzantine, Florid Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. On your tour you will imagine what the Grand Canal was like when there were still gardens, warehouses, and stone-masons. Your guide will entertain you with stories of the most historical palaces and teach you how to recognize each palace, who lived where, and to discover why the poets & writers such as Shelley, Byron, & Browning loved this city.

This one hour 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 Venice. Venice was built to be appreciated from the water, the facades of the city can only be seen from the canals. This boat tour is enjoyable for all ages and gives your feet a well-earned rest!
