Highly recommend for seeing Venice by water and relaxing - Lovely boat ride exploring the history of the Grande Canal. We did an active foodie walking tour in the morning followed by this tour in the afternoon, which was a perfect way to see Venice by water and rest after the walking tour. We had a boat driving and our own tour guide and it was fantastic! Highly recommend

A Special Orientation to Venice - A perfect way to relax & get oriented to Venice. We started our trip with a peaceful glide through the canals while our guide, Makala, pointed out landmarks & gave us a brief history of the city & the canals. Makala met us at our hotel making our trip stress free & very special. She was super knowledgeable & gave us lots of tips making it easier to navigate the city. Her restaurant recommendations were great! We really enjoyed our canal tour & think it was a wonderful way to start our trip!

Wonderful Way to Experience the Grand Canal - Sebastiano (sp?) led us on a wonderful tour of the Grand Canal and other canals! Our wooden boat was gorgeous, the weather was perfect, and we stood in the back of the boat for incredible views of the canals. We highly recommend this tour!
