About this activity

It is easy to imagine that Venice, due to its multitude of bridges and very small streets ( calli), is inaccessible with a wheelchair. Instead, this city does not constitute an architectural barrier for the disabled people because with the help of local steamboats  you can turn it wherever you want. This 4 hour  tour is an excellent opportunity to get to know the most important and famous places of the city with an expert guide that will show you the easier way  to ride with a wheelchair. Whether is or not your first time in the floating city enjoy this trip that will lead you from the marvel of Piazza San Marco with its majestic Doge’s Palace to  Rialto district with its wonderful bridge.
