Next, enjoy a relaxing cruise along the Grand Canal of Venice. Along the way you will learn the history of the stunning palaces and churches that line the famous canal as well as anecdotes about the famous people who have resided on Venice's most important 'street'. You will also enjoy a fascinating tour of the minor canals of Venice. St. Mark's Basilica is free of charge to enter and we guarantee that you will skip any long lines as part of this tour. Venice is subject to flash floods and occasionally the Basilica is closed to the public (without notice) because of high water or festivities.
