Unique sightseeing experience

The Grand Canal

Enjoy Venice from another perspective!
Since it’s not possible to walk along the Grand Canal, the only way to admire the palaces lined up along its banks is to get a boat and spend a couple of hours cruising.
This tour is a unique opportunity to enjoy a wonderful view over the city. We’ll easily wind in and out the small charming rios, wave at people passing by and peep inside courtyards. Along the rio de San Trovaso we’ll pass in front of a picturesque gondola yard.

St George Island

To reach San George island we have to cross St Mark’s Basin, considered from the geographical point of view the centre of the Lagoon. We stop here to reach the top of the tower and enjoy a 360° view. The church is also worthwile a visit: projected by Andrea Palladio, it contains a beautiful Last Supper by Tintoretto.

Jewish Ghetto

It is located in the lively Cannaregio district. We’ll get off the boat and  take a stroll in the first ghetto in the world, founded in 1516.

According to time we can end our tour here and give you the opportunity to join a visit to the Synagogues, supplied by the Jewish Museum.
