Venice Lagoon Private Sunset Tour
Description
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 on request already included in the price, I can bring some prosecco, we will observe the sunset with its magical colors.The timetable can be changed.

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!
Grazie Min per la bellissima recensione😀🥂
Nice relaxing tour, very nice and knowledgable guide. The Venice lagoon is really cool and there is a lot to learn about it!
Grazie
Great time learning about new parts of Venice and the surrounding lagoons. Nice experience hope more people get to experience this!
Grazie a voi nella serata🥂
Lovely mellow sunset cruise learning about the quieter islands surrounding downtown Venice. Pierangelo was so nice and accommodating. Highly recommend.
Grazie per la bella compagnia
I would highly recommend booking this a trip. It was a wonderful evening out and about on our host boat. I know others have commented about the small boat, however it was perfect to see all the islands and everything around Venice with an unobstructed view. Amazing sunset, drinks appetizers and great company! Host was very knowledgeable, friendly and took us to sites we would have never seen.
Grazie mille per la bella recensione
Venice is a place of water and boats, but we would not have seen the perimeter of Venice or learned about some of the neighboring islands the way we did if we hadn't been on this tour. Our guide was wonderful. He proactively asked if we would like to switch the day of our tour due to the possibility of bad weather which ended up being a great suggestion. He was very knowledgable and kindly answered all of our questions about Venice. He provided a delicious bottle of prosecco and some homemade caprese skewers, and he even went out of his way to drop us back off right at our hotel at the end of the tour instead of taking us back to the original drop off spot since it was way across town from our hotel. Would very much recommend this tour!
Grazie per la bellissima recensione
After so many years of visiting Venice and after visiting the lagoon far and wide by other means, with my wife we thought of living a new experience and so we booked this cruise with Pierangelo. Never has a choice been better than this. It was such a pleasant experience that we recommend it to anyone, whether they are in Venice for the first time, or even to those who know it well. Pierangelo is a very pleasant and welcoming person, great connoisseur of his lagoon and its Venice. Sailing gently in the lagoon with its beautiful and comfortable boat is a real pleasure. Admiring Venice and its islands and its nature from the boat will make you experience unique sensations that you will never forget (especially at sunset). It is an adventure that we will repeat the next time we are guests of these unique places. Thank you Pierangelo. See you soon. Luciano and Laura.
Grazie Luciano e Laura è stato un piacere conoscervi e grazie per la bellissima recensione 😀🥂👏🏻
Absolutely 10/10 experience! Went with my partner and we had the best evening, such a friendly and warming host. We missed our flight due to airport delays and he was so accommodating changing to a new date. It was so nice to see different locations from the water and places you wouldn’t normally see, compared to the hustle and bustle of the city and the classic tourist spots. The water was so warm so bring your swimming costumes as you can jump in would definitely book again when in Venice and this is a must do on your trip to Venice!!!! Amazing time.
Grazieeeee 😀👍🤙🥂è stata una bella serata
We had a lovely time. Pierangelo, a Venice local, was generous with his knowledge of the city, his kindness, and his prosecco and delicious homemade snacks. On this tour, you learn, you smile, and you appreciate the natural beauty of this truly unique place. Book it!
Sì una bellissima serata,grazie mille
This tour was the highlight of our trip up Venice. Pier was our tour guide. He has been a resident his entire life and owns a small boat. He took us to places that most tourists do not get to experience and explained the history and background of each location. He also provided a bottle of prosecco and caprese appetizers. The tour started at 6:15 and lasted until approximately 8:30. We were able to experience an incredible sunset and have our pictures taken. Pier also suggested a great local restaurant not far from where he picked us up and dropped us off at. We highly recommend doing this tour if you want an authentic experience in Venice. Thanks Walt
Grazie mille per la bellissima recensione.
