Only a Certified Professional Guide is allowed by law to give guided tours:
a Tour Guide must have a University degree, must speak fluently at least two
foreing languages, and to obtain the qualification must pass an official public
examination, under the supervision of the local Tourist Board Authorities.
With a Certified Tour Guide you can be sure you won't miss the best places
of interest as well as the lesser known, off the beaten tracks sights, getting
the real sense of the significance, history and meaning behind what you see.
Only Certified guides are permitted to guide you inside any place of Historic
or Artistic importance, avoiding queues and time wasting.
The expertise of a Tour Guide will make possible to customize your tour
which will be tailored to your own interest: History and Art, shopping,
local cuisine, exploring around, or even sporting.
A licensed water taxi driver will appropriately welcome upon your arrival, and take you to
your hotel through the shortest way, with no waste of time and no surprise on the bill,
as only licensed taxis are allowed through all of the canals of the city and are subject to
the control of the Local Authorities and the Town Water Traffic Department.
The License for Water Taxi is issued by the Town Administration to a qualified driver,
who is requested to validate his licence every year with previous testing of the efficiency
of his boat, as well as the presentation of his insurance policy.
A licensed waterborne taxi will take you at whatever time suits you best to the places
that interest you most at a pace that you choose (speed limits permitting!).
You will enjoy Venice from the right perspective: the waterside!
