Venice was built to be appreciated from the water with it's beautiful facades. The Grand Canal of Venice is the most spectacular 'high street' in the world!

The beautiful palaces were constructed over hundreds of years and slowly the Grand Canal became what it is today. As well as learning about the “old” Venice it includes a cruise along the city's more secluded waterways to enjoy the picturesque small bridges and 'off the beaten track'' sights introducing you to a quieter Venice.

This tour allows you to imagine what the Grand Canal was like when there were still gardens, 'squeri' (where the gondolas were built), warehouses, and stone-masons and get some answers to many questions:

• Why are there so many palaces with differing styles of architecture?
• Why are there Moorish and eastern style windows?

Our guide will entertain you with stories of the most historical palaces of which many have famous owners, help you to recognize each palace and who lived where and to discover why the poets and writers such as Shelley, Byron and Browning loved this city.

Enjoy a glass of the famous Bellini cocktail while taking in these special sights. This boat tour is enjoyable for all ages and gives your feet a well-earned rest!
