Overview

Escape the crowds of Venice with a private full-day trip to Chioggia, a charming fishing town known as “Little Venice.” With an English-speaking driver, explore its colorful canals, bustling seafood markets, and local life.

Begin in Chioggia Old Town, wandering along Corso del Popolo and across the Vigo Bridge. Optionally visit the Museum of Adriatic Zoology to learn about local sea life, or enjoy the historic marina and fish market.

Relax at the sandy Sottomarina Beachfront with a seaside coffee break. For lunch, your driver will suggest a trattoria offering fresh seafood like spaghetti alle vongole or grilled fish.

You can also opt to extend your tour with a visit to Ca’ Roman Nature Reserve or the island of Pellestrina for peaceful lagoon views.

Customizable and comfortable, this private experience offers a mix of culture, nature, and authentic Venetian coastal life before returning to Venice.
