GLIDING DOWN THE CANALS

GLIDING DOWN THE CANALS

The unique setting of the Grand Canal, Venice’s main waterway, inspired famous painters like Canaletto, Turner, and Monet, and the great writers Théophile Gautier, Henry James, and Ernst Hemingway to name a few.

You can experience the same feelings and enthusiasm by taking a private boat ride at sunset. Here you may enjoy the numerous architectural styles, motifs, colors, and the vibrating reflections on the water.

Navigation along the Venetian canals is by nature slow-paced, allowing your guide the opportunity to show the most attractive buildings and sanctuaries, like the Salute Church, Ca’ Dario, Ca’ Rezzonico, Ca’ Foscari, Rialto Bridge, Ca’ d’ Oro, Ca’ Pesaro, and the modern Calatrava Bridge.

You will enjoy the comforts of a private water-taxi while learning more about the development of Venetian architecture in private homes through the centuries.

You’ll also identify the many celebrities, both local and foreign, that lived in these fancy houses (house = ca’ in local dialect), and the way people continue to live in these unique landmarks. Exploring the waterways of Venice is undoubtedly a must for any traveler.

Yet another treat is sharing the relaxed atmosphere and slow pace of Venice with its locals.
