Transfer from Tronchetto to St. Mark’s

This transfer winds its way along the Grand Canal, the main waterway of the city that is overlooked by aristocratic palaces and Venice’s most picturesque churches.
The outward journey along the Grand Canal (or return depending on taxi availability) is by taxis that can carry 16 people in the summer and 14 in the winter.
The journey via the Grand Canal takes around 40 minutes.
The return journey (or the outward journey) is along the Giudecca Canal which offers an amazing view of St. Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco) and the striking “skyline” created by the profiles of the Venetian palaces overlooking the canal.

Our staff will be available during the journey and to assist in embarkation and disembarkation at the Tronchetto terminal.
