You step out of the shade of an alley into a sun-slick square and the canals take over: green water threading between palaces, gondoliers steering like poets of current and oar. This two-hour circuit moves from Piazza San Marco through narrow calle and past the ornate La Fenice, then lowers you onto a classic gondola at Bacino Orseolo for a 30-minute glide along the Grand Canal and quieter side channels around Fenice and Rialto.
