About this activity

Escape the crowded Venice canal routes aboard a handcrafted mahogany boat, exploring hidden lagoon islands and local waterways known only to residents. This 8-hour private experience combines luxury travel with insider access, guided by knowledgeable locals who reveal the authentic side of Venice beyond the main tourist corridors.

We organize Exclusive Tours  especially for those who are longing for new experiences and willing to explore while enjoying the time in the lagoon with friends or partner. It is exclusive opportunity to travel around the most gorgeous parts of Venice by the Mahogany boat. The captain will navigate through the canals and take you to open waters, islands that are away from the touristic tread routes. Our tour guide will provide you with the most interesting information and will guarantee the journey to the places that only locals are familiar with. We are offering a possibility to choose one from the three different options and if you have any other preferences we are ready to modify the itinerary accordingly.
