Picture the scene as you glide effortlessly along the serene grand canals of Venice aboard a traditional luxury Venetian motorboat. Your private captain guiding you between the magnificent scenery and landmarks of perhaps the most beautiful city in the world, as the reflection of the sunset glistens in the waters of the canals.
If that isn’t enough to go to your head already, our evening boat ride tour comes complete with a classic Italian style Aperitivo in a local bar in the Cannaregio district.
Quite simply, this is the ultimate way to experience Venice in the evening. Seeing the city as it’s meant to be seen, from the water and with your private guide detailing the centuries of history, architecture, and fascinating characters that make Venice so unforgettable.
The tour experience will last for 2 hours and your private guide will meet you at your accommodation or a meeting point that is suitable for you just as the sun begins to set.
The tour gets underway as you are delivered to your captain for the evening and board the classical Venetian style motorboat.
Venice of course was designed to be navigated by boat, so you will have the opportunity to hear all about the fascinating history of the city, and the famous characters like Napoleon, Casanova, and Marco Polo who had a profound impact on the city, as you glide by mesmerizing sights and locations that make Venice so unique and distinctive. Wonders such as St. Mark’s Basilica, the Salute Church, Accademia bridge, the Ca’ d’Oro & the ancient Turkish Tradehouse… all ready to be photographed in glorious sunset lighting to create everlasting memories!
Aside from the major canal arteries, your expert local guide will delve into the most enchanting minor canals of the city to discover hidden gems like the Doges’ Pantheon, St. Mark’s School, and Madonna dell’Orto church.
Towards the end of the experience, your captain will dock in the Cannaregio district and deliver you to a Venetian ‘’Bacaro’’ or bar for a delicious aperitivo. You can choose your drink (wine, beer, etc), but the traditional tipple would be the “Venetian Spritz” made with Aperol and Prosecco. To eat you will be able to try several ‘’Cicchetti’’ which are little plates of fresh traditional Venetian appetizers.
It will be a truly Venetian way to finish our time together, before strolling back to Rialto bridge!
Our Private Evening Boat Ride & Twilight Aperitivo Tour meeting point is at Rialto Bridge. Once you confirm your tour, your guide will be in touch to provide any further directions as well as offer additional transport and transfers if required.
Giorgia will be your private licensed guide for this tour.
“I feel so lucky being a tour guide: it is the job I had dreamt about since teenage, perfectly mixing my two greatest passions at University: Art history and Foreign Languages! Venice is filled with fascinating details and traces of the past. To me, it feels like a gigantic “time machine” where every tour magically turns into a journey back in time: can’t wait to show you around it!”
