Description:

Traveling by luxury boat, tour the charming Grand Canal as an expert guide points out key sights and gives you a history of the city. Disembark at rarely visited San Giorgio Maggiore Island for a guided tour and a visit inside the church. Then, climb the bell tower for one of the best views of Venice.

You may have already taken a slow and leisurely gondola ride, but to truly travel the Venetian waters as the locals do, you really need to be in a luxury speedboat to get a real sense of the city. With the help of your expert, local guide, you can spot all the most important sights as you pass them—palaces, theaters, casinos, galleries, and bridges. Personal headsets make it easy to hear your guide's informative commentary over the daily hustle and bustle of the canal.

Travel a little beyond the usual sights, with a stop to San Giorgio Maggiore Island. Seldom visited by tourists, it's a lovely spot with a historic church and striking bell tower. Most important though, are the views. Journey to the top by elevator, and gaze out over the spectacular panoramas across the lagoon and back toward St. Mark’s Square and basilica.
