Our Cruises

Our tours are always private, and we do our best to accommodate the day and time you wish to take your tour. While our tours are popular for couples, each gondola can hold up to 6 passengers, except the cabin-covered felze, which holds two. Our unique service provides you with your own personal gondolier who is prepared to indulge your senses with a musical and memorable taste of Venice.
