Casual. Dress according to the weather for that day.

The boats are small enough to navigate the minor canals, with enough space for you to comfortably sit outside to take photographs and listen to the detailed commentary provided by your guide. All boats are equipped with microphones and speakers so you can clearly hear the commentary.

Unlike a ride in a gondola, the Grand Canal Boat Tour takes you to a much wider area of the city and provides a greater overview to Venice.
