What we will do
Departure is scheduled near St Mark's Square at 15:00. Once the group has embarked at the Cornoldi Landing, we will be ready to sail to discover the scenery of theGiudecca Island.
As we cross the picturesque St. Mark's Basin, we will be able to admire an incredible view of the Doge's Palace and the majestic Campanile, whose reflections are gently reflected on the serene surface of the Lagoon.
The real adventure will begin when we enter the Giudecca Canal, which separates us from our destination. Originally called 'Spina Longa' because of its herringbone shape, Giudecca is the largest and closest island to Venice.
Thetour guide on board will tell us the story of the fascinating Palladian Churches and theHilton Molino Stucky, transporting us back in time and immersing us in the atmosphere of a bygone era.
We will then be enraptured by the beauty of the Island of San Giorgio, home of the prestigious Cini Foundation, and discover many curiosities about the buildings that frame this place.
The tour will end at 4pm and will last one hour .
