Venice Boat Trip

At the indicated time we'll meet at the riva degli Schiavoni, where the boat will be waiting for us to enjoy a pleasant trip around Venice. All aboard!

We'll sail through the waters of this beautiful Italian city, seeing its most famous monuments and discovering its history. We'll start by skirting the San Marco district, the smallest and oldest quarter of Venice. We'll also pass by St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace, two true symbols of the city, and you won't stop taking pictures!

Afterwards, we'll take the Giudecca canal and head towards the island of San Giorgio. We'll enjoy incredible views of the Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore, which dates back to the 16th century. Did you know that the architect of this temple also designed the neighbouring Church of the Redeemer?

The journey will take us to the exterior of the Hilton Molino Stucky. In the past, this luxury hotel was one of the most important mills in Europe. We'll tell you all its secrets before we set off on our return journey.

The tour will end after one hour of sailing, docking back at the departure pier.

Agradable paseo y con un tiempo excelente por la zona no tan turística de Venecia . Creo que podría ser mucho más aprovechable si hubiera contenido en el viaje , contando de forma amena anécdotas de la historia y de la actualidad de la vida en Venecia . La mayoría del tiempo no contaban nada …. Aún siendo de fuera de Venecia , si tuviera que contar el recorrido a unos amigos se me ocurrirían miles de cosas . Translate this opinion into English.

A pleasant walk with excellent weather in the less touristy part of Venice. I think it could have been much more useful if the trip had been told in an entertaining way, anecdotes about the history and current events of life in Venice. Most of the time they didn't tell anything... Even though I'm not from Venice, if I had to tell the story to some friends, thousands of things would occur to me. Opinion translated. Show original.

The tour was good, but I had a difficulty, my friend got off the boat very dizzy. The guide needed to help me get her off the boat and I was left alone. I am a tourist and I had to look for help from other people on the street. My friend got very sick and They had to call an ambulance, I looked for the guide but he was already gone, my friend is now in the hospital and I want to know if the tour insurance can cover the emergency Opinion translated.

Tour meraviglioso. Bellissimo vedere le meraviglie di Venezia da un altro punto di vista! L'accompagnatrice e lo staff sono stati veramente gentili. Anche se ero l'unico italiano la guida ha spiegato anche in lingua italiana e mi sono sentito molto ben accolto! Consigliato per vedere l'isola della giudecca che altrimenti si può visitare solo prendendo il vaporetto. Translate this opinion into English.

Wonderful tour. Beautiful to see the wonders of Venice from another point of view! The host and the staff were really kind. Even though I was the only Italian, the guide also explained in Italian and I felt very welcome! Recommended to see the island of Giudecca which otherwise can only be visited by taking the vaporetto.
