Overview

Venice is one of Italy's Top cities. But very few tourists know, in addition to the historical and artistic beauties, the natural wonders that the city offers and in particular those related to its lagoon. Aboard a wooden boat with a native, you will discover the lagoon and its environment little accessible without a boat. You can observe the Arsenal, symbol of the Serenissima. Heart of the Venetian shipbuilding industry.You will observe the island of Vignole. Formerly called Biniola, or even "of the seven vineyards", you will observe the Island of Lazzaretto Nuovo. In 1468 a decree of the Senate of the Serenissima established a Lazzaretto on the island with the task of preventing infections. The island became a place of "absentia" : here the "forty" was prepared for ships arriving from the various Mediterranean ports. We will stop in a "Ghebo" and watch the sunset with its magical colors.The timetable can be changed.

Sunset’s in Venice

WOW!!! This is our second time taking a sunset cruise with Jean Pierre and we will do it over and over again❤️🇮🇹. This truly is THE best tour you can do while in Venice. To be able to see, experience and learn about Venice from the lagoons that hold so much history is magical. Thank you once again Jean Pierre.

Venice Lagoon Sunset Tour

We loved this tour to see parts of Venice that we would not have been able to see from the city. The boat was great and very comfortable. Our guide was perfect - gave us a beautiful tour with the perfect amount of background on all of the areas we visited. A true insiders guide to Venice with beautiful lagoon sunset views. Highly recommend!

Must Do! Best Tour of Our Trip

Took this tour to celebrate after our elopement and it was absolutely perfect. I have been to Venice multiple times and was honestly a little worried it would be a repeat of what we'd seen from various water taxis, but I couldn't have been more wrong! Your local guide will truly show you a hidden side of Venice and the surrounding isles that most visitors have absolutely no idea about. Our favorite part was exploring around the less-populated islands and seeing the lagoon in its natural state, how it would have looked before Venice was built. Such a wonderful break from the bustle of the city. Truly a can't miss.

Highlight of our trip

We booked this tour to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. Pier was incredibly kind and welcoming, and he took us around Venice while sharing interesting stories about the different places we passed. The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially during sunset. It was a relaxing and memorable experience, and my husband loved getting the chance to drive the boat. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique way to see Venice!

An off the beaten path sunset cruise for mellow lovely evening

Lovely mellow sunset cruise learning about the quieter islands surrounding downtown Venice. Pierangelo was so nice and accommodating. Highly recommend.
