Highlights

Let yourself be carried away by the calm of the water as the sun goes down on the lagoon: the sunset tour is designed for those who want to experience Venice from an authentic, intimate and unforgettable point of view. Aboard the lovingly restored traditional wooden motortope, you will sail through silent canals and hidden views, away from the crowds and bathed in the golden light of late afternoon. We will leave from a convenient point for you, where the assistant Pietro will welcome you and accompany you on board. While sailing you will admire some of the most fascinating places: the walls of the Arsenal, the silent elegance of San Giorgio, the majesty of San Marco seen from the basin and the authentic banks of the Giudecca. On board you will find a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for sharing a special moment as the sky turns pink and gold. A romantic, quiet and suggestive experience, for those looking for the truest Venice, the one that reveals itself at sunset.

About Venice

Venice floats on a lagoon of more than a hundred islands, a city of canals, palaces and bridges with no cars, where every walk ends somewhere unexpected.

The Grand Canal sweeps through the city in a great reversed S, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Near its mouth, Piazza San Marco gathers St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the tall brick campanile. Water buses and gondolas show the city from the angle it was built to be seen.

Top-ranked sights in Venice: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
