What To Expect

The private tour starts from Bacino Orseolo located behind Piazza San Marco and continues along the smaller canals of astonishing beauty such as Rio dei Barcaroli, where Mozart’s house is located, and Rio dell’Ovo until it reaches the Grand Canal.

From here, on the right we can see the magnificence of the Rialto Bridge and on the left important buildings such as Ca’ Farsetti, head office of the city hall, and Palazzo Grimani, the largest building overlooking the Grand Canal and head office of the Court of Appeal.

The tour continues to Rio San Luca where we can see Palazzo Manin, residence of the last doge of Venice Ludovico Manin, now home to the Bank of Italy. The tour ends at the same boarding point.
