Overview

Take a romantic evening cruise along Venice's canals aboard a modern Venetian boat.

Grand tour of the gran canal

Published on Jul, 2024

Grand tour by water taxi The tour of the the canals via water taxi was unforgettable. In our first day in Venice, we were able to appreciate the beautiful vistas and intricacies of the architecture amidst the canals. Elisa, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. Traveling with my elderly mother, she ensured safe and easy transport. It was a magical evening.

What a great way to see Venice, the Grand Canal and other points of interest in Venice! Our tour guide lady was awesome, so so nice, fun to talk too, her knowledge and history of Venice was great and endless! What a great way to see Venice by water taxi, private is the way to go. A little expensive it is, but a great way to go if you can! I enjoyed the tour from beginning to end! Thanks to our tour guide, she was great!
