Embark on a private mini-cruise through the hidden islands of Venice and unlock the secrets of this enchanting lagoon. Meet your local guide at Giudecca Island and set sail on your own private boat. As you navigate the hidden canals, you'll discover two magical islands: La Certosa, a small paradise filled with rabbits, birds, and cats in its amazing forest, and Le Vignole, a picturesque island where residents live in farmstead-type buildings. Keep an eye out for low tide, which reveals the mysterious and suggestive "barene" - irregular little islands that appear like mosaic tiles from the water. Sail to Murano Island and pass under the Bridge of Freedom, the only bridge connecting the old town to the mainland. Immerse yourself in the bustling markets, especially the fish markets, which provide the city with its raw ingredients. Let the gentle waters of Venice's lagoon lull you as you embark on this mini-cruise of a lifetime.
