Venice Grand Canal Guided Boat Tour

This boat trip along Venice’s Grand Canal is one of the most romantic things to do in the city and ideal for couples. The trip will take place in small groups of around 10 people to enhance the experience. A professional guide will accompany you on board whilst providing interesting facts about the city.

The cruise lasts approximately 1 hour, during which you’ll be able to enjoy the beautiful views of Venice, with its colourful oriental-style façades, gliding gondolas and palaces. As you cross the city’s most famous waterway, you’ll also pass under some of its picturesque bridges.

The Grand Canal flows into the Venetian Lagoon, the wettest region in the whole of Italy. It is S-shaped and 4 kilometres long, dividing the city into two parts. On this tour, you’ll pass under the canal’s four bridges: the Rialto Bridge, the Accademia Bridge, the Descalzi Bridge and the Constitution Bridge. The most common way to cross it is by gondola or vaporetto, a type of public water transport that is widely used due to the city’s layout.

As you travel along the Grand Canal, you’ll be able to admire some of Venice’s most iconic sights, such as:

• The Church of the Scalzi
• The Loredan Vendramin Palace
• Ca’Pesaro
• Ca’ d’Oro
• Grassi Palace
• The Accademia
• Ca’Foscari
• Corner della Ca’Granda Palace

Take a trip across the Grand Canal on a romantic date with your partner or with your family. Surprise them with the palaces and boats sailing along the so-called ‘Queen of the Adriatic’, and take home an unforgettable memory.
