This small-group boat tour takes you away from the crowds of central Venice to explore the canals of the fishing town of Chioggia and the Venetian Lagoon aboard a traditional topa boat. Up to 5 guests ride together in a cozy 7 m boat of the kind Chioggia locals have used for generations, while a local captain shares stories about the town and the lagoon. You glide along the Vena Canal, pass under bridges in the historic center, and head out to the lagoon with its fishermen's huts and remote islands. The tour lasts about 1 hour 30 minutes.
