The best way to start discovering Venice with less walking.

Venice with less walking private guided tour starts from the Venice cruise terminal. Your qualified local guide will meet you by your cruise ship check point and your tour will start sailing on a private water taxi along the Giudecca Canal. You will enjoy a delightful panoramic view of Saint Mark’s Square.  You will see also all the other important historical monuments surrounding the Basin of Saint Mark. The boat will slowly approach the Lido island, a long sandy islands between the Lagoon and the open sea. The Lido is a residential district of Venice and the seaside resort of the Venetians. Here, the International Venice Film Festival  takes place since 1932, every year in late August or early September. This is the oldest film festival in the world.
