Private Canal Tours of Venice

Seeing Venice from the water is an unforgettable experience, whether you chose the to glide along the smaller canals in a traditional gondola, or cruise the Grand Canal in a motorboat.

The elegant wooden gondolas are designed to navigate even the narrowest waterways and pass under low bridges. Private gondola rides are unguided, and take up to six passengers, so they can be a relaxing family experience or a romantic trip for two. Your professional gondolier will take you through the less visited quiet backwaters of Venice.

If you want to travel up Venice’s watery “high street” - the Grand Canal - it’s best to take a motorboat trip. Admire the ornately decorated palazzos of wealthy former residents, hear stories of famous visitors to Venice, and times past, when the Grand Canal was lined with gardens, warehouses and gondola builder’s yards, then explore some of the smaller canals.
