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!

The guide was very knowledgable and pointed out lots of places of interest and some interesting facts. The sun was setting during the second half of the one hour trip which made it even more enjoyable. We were happy we saw all the famous landmarks so well worth the money

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.

Boat trip along the Grand Canal in a small group of around 8 people! Very friendly guide, explains the essentials! It's worth it to get to know the city from another point of view!
