This private two-hour tour in Venice includes a 45-minute motor launch boat ride along the Grand Canal and smaller canals in the Cannaregio district. The boat passes landmarks such as the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo and the Chiesa della Madonna dell'Orto, which houses Tintoretto paintings. Depending on the tide, the route may include the Rio de S. Trovaso canal, where a gondola shipyard can be seen, or the Giudecca Canal, offering views of Giudecca Island and parts of the San Polo district. After the boat ride, the guide leads a one-hour walk through less-visited parts of Venice, including an outside view of Marco Polo’s house and several small squares and back streets typical of the city. The walk ends at a local patisserie or cicchetti bar where participants receive either a pastry and coffee or one to two cicchetti with a glass of wine, depending on the time of day. A professional guide accompanies the group throughout the entire two-hour tour. The tour combines water and walking activities to explore Venice’s canals and streets and includes all food and drink described.
