Overview

Venice is an engineering miracle, a city built on a lagoon and threatened by climate change and rising seas. Discover how it was built, how the acqua alta (high water) flooding has affected the city and may shape its future, and learn about the controversial flood barrier project on this fascinating small-group guided tour. You'll travel like a local, on foot and by water bus—tickets are at your own expense.
  • Go deeper into Venice as you tour the lagoon, the city's heart and fate
  • Learn about the MOSE floating flood barriers that might save the city
  • Discover the complex rhythms that govern acqua alta (high water)
  • Limited to eight travelers, meaning plenty of time for questions
