With a maximum of 9 participants, your small group Venice boat tour will be an intimate, unforgettable experience. The first part of your trip is a Grand Canal tour, which includes a slow cruise down this world-famous waterway. Keep your camera handy for a series of spectacular photo opportunities. Your knowledgeable, English-speaking guide will show you exquisite villas, iconic churches, romantic bridges, and monumental buildings as you glide on the canal.
