Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

What you will visit:
Venice (viewed from motor launch)
The Floating City is really a series of 117 small islands linked by the famous canals, together making up a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Like a string of jewels, the tiny lagoon islands off Venice are gems waiting to be explored. Many of Venice's most impressive sites are best seen from the water, with the gorgeous Gothic architecture, historic palazzos and graceful bridges reflected in the shimmering waters of the Grand Canal and narrow waterways. Venice is a photographer's paradise with architectural beauty and historic sights around every turn.
San Giorgio Maggiore Church
The classic, 16th-century San Giorgio Church is located on the island of the same name. Its brilliant white façade is reflected in the blue waters, welcoming you into the basilica's massive interior, and its views from its bell tower, built in 1791 after the previous one collapsed in 1774, are amongst the most photographed sites in the city. An elevator whisks you to the top (60 meters) and affords picture-perfect views of St. Mark's Basilica and Square.
What you will see along the way:
From your private motor-launch, enjoy stunning views of Venice from the water, as your knowledgeable photographer guide escorts you to the most cinematic areas of the city according to the best light and weather conditions.

Special Notes:

Please note that with more than 8 Guests we will be using 2 motor launches, this means that only one of the 2 boats will have the photographer on board and the second one the tour assistance. They will switch boats, but guests are not always with the photographer.
To reach the tour of the bell-tower there is an elevator, no steps.
