Four Private Hours, an Hour of It on a Boat Through the Minor Canals
Four hours, private, covering the Doge's Palace, St Mark's Basilica and the parts of Venice that do not appear on the standard route, with the skip-the-line tickets included for both buildings. An hour of that is spent on the water, and not in a gondola: a private boat along the Grand Canal and then into the smaller canals, which is where the city stops performing and starts being a place people live.
What's included
- Radio Headsets for the walking tours when the group has more than 6 participants
- Guaranteed skip-the-line tickets to Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica
- Local English-speaking Professional guide for 4 hrs
- Grand Canal boat tour by motor-launch (1-hour)
