4-hour private tour in the Northern Lagoon with traditional boat
Take a break from the crowded streets of the city of Venice. This tour is unique because it takes place on a beautiful typical Venetian boat: the bragozzo. The Bragozzo is a boat of even older origins than the gondola (it can be seen in many paintings by the most famous Venetian painters such as Raphael, Canaletto, Guardi, Longhi). A real piece of the city's history. Thanks to its flat bottom it can navigate in practically any area of the lagoon, even those where the seabed is shallower and allow you to discover unique places off the usual tourist routes. The navigation is very comfortable and the boat has an awning to protect you from the sun. Furthermore, the staff on board has a profound knowledge of the lagoon and its places and will provide you with stories and anecdotes of Venice, its islands and its lagoon during navigation.
