Private Tour: Venice Grand Canal Evening Boat Tour

Venice, Italy

Take a romantic evening cruise along Venice's canals aboard a modern Venetian boat. This evening tour by comfortable boat takes you along Venice's famous Grand Canal, and allows you to explore further than a traditional Venice gondola allows. You can choose to speed along for one or two hours with your very own boat and personal guide.

This Grand Canal cruise follows an ideal itinerary for lovers of architecture, taking you from the Byzantine and flamboyant Gothic periods to masterpieces of the Renaissance and Baroque eras.

The tour begins at the church of Madonna della Salute and returns along Giudecca's Canal, where Palladio's masterful churches of the Redentore and S. Giorgio Maggiore will dramatically reveal themselves.

Soak up the atmosphere and history of magnificent Venetian palaces and churches including Ca' Venier, Ca' Foscari, Ca' Rezzonico, the famous Rialto Bridge, Ca' d'Oro, Ca' Pesaro, Ca' Vendramin-Calergi and many more!

This is a private boat tour. Book now and get the most out of your visit to Venice with a personalized tour led by an English-speaking guide who is passionate about the magical city of Venice.

This was really worth paying the extra money for and it was our first tour in Venice. Our guide, Iliana went over and above what we were expecting from this tour. Thank you.

Our guide was a very knowledgeable native Venetian who took us through the canal for two hours and then walked us to our hotel...We enjoyed it immensely !

The guide was excellent. He really knew his way around. The length of the tour, though, was only 50-55 minutes. The add makes you think it's 2 hours but it's an hour boat ride with an hour walking tour. We couldn't all walk this far so we just did the boat ride. It was very expensive but be sure you know what you are buying. I'd do it again if I went back but the food is horrible in Venice, and very very expensive. Go once. Don't go back.

This trip was not good value for the money. It would have been better and far cheaper to spend 20 minutes reading a book, and taking a " Water Bus". The motor launch was 40 minutes late, and the windows were so dirty we had to stop the boat, and unsuccessfully clean the windows with 'salt water '.

OUTSTANDING! The tour guide was a native Venetian well versed in the history, art and architecture of Venice. This was my 5th trip to Venice, and my childrens' first, so the idea was more for them, but I enjoyed it just as much. A definite tour to do.

Most enjoyable trip and well worth doing. The only way it could be improved is to be supplied with some form of picture together with details of the various places pointed out and seen on the trip, or at least the major places of interest.
