Private tour on a traditional boat: no crowds, just the lagoon, the wind, and a real boat. Finally, the real Venice.

Duration 6 hours

Climb aboard “Tortuga,” a charming, authentic Venetian wooden boat, and let it carry you to the most secluded heart of the lagoon. We will sail through tranquil canals and timeless islands, surrounded by water, light, and pure beauty. In Murano, we’ll tell you about the magic of glassblowing, amidst ancient furnaces and vibrant colors; in Burano, you’ll be captivated by the colorful houses reflected in the water and the delicate patterns of the handmade lace. If you choose the sunset tour, you will see the lagoon transform into a painting: the sky turns gold and pink as the sun slowly sets over the water, and everything becomes quiet and perfect. With the wind in your hair, the salty scent in the air, and a glass of wine in your hand, every moment is an intimate, authentic, and unforgettable experience.
