VENICE BOAT AND GUIDE
This is a four-hour tour that combines a guide and a boat in order to provide a deeper introduction to the city of Venice!
You will meet your guide and together you will both visit Saint Mark’s Square and the Basilica. After seeing these two historic places, you will be board a private boat to navigate the Grand Canal, a true taste of Venice. While enjoying the view of the beautiful palazzo—once home to the rich and powerful Venetian merchants—your guide will explain the rise and the decay of Venetian society, covering nearly ten centuries of history.
Your next stop will be the island of Murano, famous for the art of glassblowing since the twelfth century! On weekdays you have the opportunity to see an actual production line in operation at one of the top glass factories. On the way back to Venice you will have enough time to explore the charming, narrow streets and alleys as you walk toward the Rialto Bridge—the busy heart of the city—where the tour will come to an end.
