VIP Venice Boat Tour With Grand Canal

Experience Venice in style with a luxury motorboat tour along the Grand Canal. Glide past landmarks like the Doge’s Palace and Rialto Bridge as your professional captain and expert guide share the city’s rich history and hidden stories—all while you skip the crowds on land and soak in the surreal beauty of the Floating City.

Cruise the iconic Grand Canal in a luxury speedboat and experience Venice the way locals do. While gondolas offer a slow, scenic ride, this tour lets you cover more ground in style, guided by a local expert who brings the city’s sights and stories to life.

From the comfort of your boat, admire Venice’s most famous landmarks—St. Mark’s Basilica, the Rialto Bridge, the Doge’s Palace, the Fish Market, historic palaces, theaters, and galleries—without the crowds on land. Your guide’s live commentary, delivered through personal headsets, ensures you won’t miss a word over the sounds of the bustling canal.

Along the way, you’ll gain fascinating insights into Venetian traditions, festivals like Carnevale, and the city’s unique boats and waterways. It’s the perfect blend of sightseeing and storytelling—and a must-do for a deeper understanding of the Floating City.
