Palaces and bridges of Venice

Hop into a motorboat and cruise down the Grand Canal of Venice. See dozens of palazzos, mansions, churches, and iconic bridges that span the waterways. Marvel at the ancient Rialto, the oldest and most famous bridge, and then admire the modern Della Constituzione, a glass bridge constructed near Calatrava.

Pass central Venetian patrician houses, home to art collections, museums, and university seats. See major city and state institutions like Ca' Grande and Ca' Balbi, and the luxurious hotel Gritti.

Catch a glimpse of the bustling casino at Ca' Vendramin Caliergi, and the soirees' palace Ca' Pisani Moretta, before passing through international communities like Fondaco dei Tedeschi. You will also get to see the grand religious edifice of La Madonna Della Salute.

Very worthwhile. Had a very good English speaking guide on a 1 hour canal tour of Venice with a group of 8 people. Highly recommended!

Great tour through the great canal. A perfect explanation of the buildings along the canal and the secret gardens. A well spent hour! I would recommend to arrive 10 to 15 mins earlier.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise through the canal with our guide (I wish I could remember her name)! It was a small group. We were able to come out in the front once we entered the Grand Canal. It was a very personable tour.

It was a great opportunity to become acquainted with Venice and its landmarks. The guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. If it is your first time in Venice, it is worth taking this tour.
