What to expect


Meet your guide in the famous Piazza San Marco to begin your unforgettable Venetian adventure. While a gondola ride offers a slow and romantic experience, the best way to explore the city like a local is by luxury speedboat — giving you a true sense of life on the water.

Travel along the stunning Grand Canal as your expert guide shares fascinating stories and historical insights about Venice. With personal headsets, you’ll easily hear every detail while enjoying the lively atmosphere of the canal.

From the boat, admire Venice’s most iconic landmarks, including elegant palaces, theaters, casinos, art galleries, and famous bridges. Pass by the legendary Bridge of Sighs, gaze up at the magnificent Rialto Bridge, and cruise past the vibrant Rialto fish market. You’ll also admire the beautiful Ca’ d’Oro palace from the water.

The tour concludes near the Doge’s Palace and Piazza San Marco, where your journey began — leaving you with unforgettable memories of Venice from its most magical perspective.
