We really enjoyed the tour around the Grand Canal. Our tour guide provided great information, and it was fun to ride around the canal. If there is anything negative, it would have been nice to be in more of an open boat. Most people were enclosed on the boat, so it was difficult to get good photos. From the tour description photo we anticipated being in an open boat with clear views of the water and buildings. Otherwise it was wonderful!

We booked this ticket last minute as the Vapretto was on strike the day we wanted to travel along the Grand Canal. The guide was excellent and explained the history of many of the famous buildings along the canal. if you go on this tour, make sure you sit near the front or back, not in the middle since it is covered in the middle. We were at the back so were able to stand to get good photos.

Good overview of the city. Windows on the boat were dirty. So you had to stand up the entire time to see but you couldn’t hear the tour guide. I enjoyed standing up to see but it tiring. And there wasn’t enough room for everyone to stand up. Some took turns.
