We'll be enveloped by history while we learn the traditional greeting of the gondoliers and sweeten to their merry sing-songy cadences as we see the water faintly lapping on moss covered facades, the colours' seeping century by century, drip by drip into Venice's mysterious lagoons. We'll then continue on foot to explore the labyrinth maze of hidden tiny picturesque canals, tantalizingly mysterious byways, charming squares and magnificent palaces while seeing Venice's own ‘Leaning Tower', the ‘street of the assassins', alleries, and Venice's trendiest celebrity hang out. The Grand Finale-we'll experience one of the world's most famous views, a stunning vista of St Marks ...Camera essential!

The Original & Best Venice Tour

A Marvelous Introduction to St Marks and the Magnificence of Venice
St Mark's square was once the epicenter of the wealthiest and most powerful city in Europe, the crossroads to the medieval world's most fascinating places, a glorious homage to human ingenuity and faith in the merchant's skill- a game of chance.

Nothing compares with seeing St Mark's basilica bathed in a golden afternoon light,
embracing a millennia of glorious history as the sun glints off its domed sentinels and gleaming façades.
Juxtapose this with the poignant reminder that this is a city slowly disappearing beneath the luminous waters of the Adriatic Sea; a sea that once ferried unimagined riches and made 'La Serenissima' the world's most mesmerizing and mysterious city.

Experience with our talented guides what 'La Serenissima' means,
has meant, to Venetians over the centuries. See the hauntingly beautiful and aptly named Bridge of Sighs, where the sighs and cries of the condemned echo over the centuries, chasing reflections through the colour dappled surfaces of myriad canals.

The Original Doges Palace Tour

Experience the pomp and pageantry of the magnificent Doges whose wizened exteriors masked a combined steel will to control international market forces. The Doges palace embodies one of the grandest propaganda campaigns ever seen in history. Its superb gothic facades also masked a sinister style of government developed to carefully drive the commercial interests so important to Venice's history. Learn about the Doges bizarrely cloistered lifestyles which were strictly interwoven into the very fabric of Venice and followed fascinating archaic rituals. Hear how the Doges orchestrated one of the greatest tragedies for the history of western culture and then profited from it. Follow in the footsteps of the condemned as we walk though history and see their poignant tracings engraved into the palace prison walls...

The Original Grand Canal Tour

Don’t just see the Grand Canal, experience for your self the life styles of the rich and famous with a spicy sprinkling of gossip from those in the know.
Our charming bronzed water taxi skippers have ferried some of the world’s most  famous celebrities as well as being the stunt drivers for blockbuster films such as the 007 epic ‘Casino Royale’.
We will pass famous palaces and sights used in films as our skippers have their fingers on the pulse of Venice, knowing every mossy, misty canal, crumbling palace and skeleton in the cupboard!

Whilst gliding along the Grand Canal, an extraordinarily beautiful and unique high way,
we will marvel at the stately procession of sumptuous water palaces gazing proudly upon centuries of comings and goings. Our entertaining companions will bear us along this splendid processional route while we see the palaces of the rich and famous. Hear about celebrities’ favorite local places to hang out as well as discovering just why Venice is the sublime capital of masked carnivals, reveries, intrigue, and  romance!
