Hop-on Hop-off Venice Eco-Boat Tour with Audioguide

Sightsee in an environmentally responsible way on board a comfortable boat that does not damage the city's subsoil. Soak up the magic of Venice and its lagoon while discovering its secrets thanks to the audio guide prepared by local guides.

With the flexibility to hop on and off at any of the stops, you can now explore Venice with total liberty. With the audio guide available in multiple languages on your mobile device, you can learn about its history, culture, and traditions while you marvel at your surroundings.

Starting from Santa Lucia Central Station, the boat will lead you to the very heart of Venice: the treasures of St. Mark's Square, Lido, also known as Venice's beach – where the famous Film Festival takes place every year- and the island of Murano where you will visit a world-renowned glass factory and witness the art of glassmaking.

From Murano, you can follow the tour towards the islands of Burano, famous for its bright-colored houses and lace production, and Torcello, a little oasis of quiet in the middle of the lagoon. Head for Punta Sabbioni, or go back to Santa Lucia Train station. If you choose to go back, the boat will bring you directly to the Train Station with one stop only at Zattere by the Canale della Giudecca, surely the most poetic of all the itineraries, where you can learn the art of Gondola-making.

What's more, there is now a direct connection from Punta Sabbioni to San Marco-Cornoldi at 9:30 am and 10:30 am.

Download our 4 audioguides with 7 different itineraries on and off-board, to make the most of your visit. The onboard audio guide will show you the main attractions of Venice from the water, as you pass by. The 3 off-board audioguides, written by famous local contributors, are enriched with episodes from the history of the city as well as curiosities to explore off the boat with must-have classical contents such as Ponte di Rialto, St. Marks's Square the islands, as well as more modern points of interest such as Libreria Acqua Alta and the stories of the VIPs who lived in and around Venice.

We then have a treasure hunt where children will help Venice's Lion to find his inseparable book.
