Experience Venice from its most authentic and elegant perspective on a private tour designed to highlight the city’s architectural beauty, artistic heritage, and unique relationship with the water. Traveling by sleek private boat, travelers enjoy an effortless journey along the Grand Canal, where historic palaces, graceful bridges, and lively waterfront scenes illustrate centuries of Venetian culture. Smaller canals reveal a quieter side of the city, offering views of secluded courtyards and traditional craftsmanship often hidden from land.

A visit to the island of San Giorgio Maggiore adds a contemplative dimension to the experience, with its refined Palladian church and panoramic views across the lagoon. The tour also features time in and around St. Mark’s Square, where monumental architecture reflects the city’s political and artistic legacy.

With its combination of exclusive boat travel, insightful commentary, and a curated selection of Venice’s most significant landmarks, this experience provides a refined and immersive introduction to the “floating city.”
