Venice Water Taxi Tour - Bridge of Sighs, Inner Canals, Gondola Boatyard & Rialto Bridge

Explore the inner canals of Venice
by water taxi

Cruise the canals of Venice for 1 hour in a classic wooden water taxi. The tour starts near the Danieli stop and ends next to the Rialto Bridge. You see the landmarks from the boat, without getting off at any stop.

See the Bridge of Sighs and St. Mark's Square from the water

Soon after departure you see the Bridge of Sighs and the waterfront of St. Mark's Square right in front of you. Then enter the mouth of the Grand Canal to see the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute.

Pass the narrow canals of Dorsoduro and a gondola boatyard

Leave the busy waterways behind and head down Rio della Salute. Pass the San Trovaso canal and go through the Dorsoduro district, where you can see one of the few remaining gondola boatyards in the city.

Cruise the Cannaregio Canal and finish by the Rialto Bridge

A professional boatman guides you along the winding waterways of Rio Novo and Rio Marin. Enter the wide Cannaregio Canal and look out over the northern lagoon, while seeing everyday Venetian life up close, such as laundry hanging overhead and doorways opening straight onto the water. The cruise ends right next to the Rialto Bridge.

※ The route may be slightly adjusted depending on weather, tide or local boat traffic restrictions.
