Private Water Taxi Tour of Venice's Hidden Magic Canals

1 hour (approximately)
Offered in: English and 2 more

There is no better way to appreciate the architectural genius of Venice than from the water. Your premium tour departs from the elegant Danieli station, setting the tone for an unforgettable journey. As we set off, you will get a front-row view of the romantic Bridge of Sighs and the waterfront silhouette of St. Mark’s Square before sweeping into the mouth of the Grand Canal to admire the breathtaking Santa Maria della Salute Basilica.
We will quickly leave the heavy traffic behind to dive into the quiet, local charm of Venice's inner canals. You will glide down Rio della Salute and through the historic Dorsoduro district along Rio di San Trovaso, where you can marvel at one of the last remaining squeri (gondola shipyards) left in the city.
You will cruise through the atmospheric bends of Rio Novo and Rio Marin, enter the wide Cannaregio Canal, and catch a glimpse of the vast Northern Lagoon.
