What you can expect

Experience the charm of Venice on a 30-minute gondola ride through its iconic canals, hidden corners, and alongside elegant palaces. Choose a small group ride with up to five people, or opt for a private gondola for a more romantic and personal journey.

Meet your assistant near St. Mark’s Square, who will walk you to the gondola pier and ensure a smooth, hassle-free start. Enjoy a pleasant five-minute walk past the iconic Doge’s Palace and through the elegant surroundings of Venice’s historic centre.

Step aboard your traditional gondola and begin gliding gently through the serene waterways of Venice. Take in the beauty of Venice from the water as you glide through its most picturesque routes. Admire the domes of Santa Maria della Salute Church and the graceful facades of historic palaces lining the Grand Canal. Spot the mysterious Ca’ Dario Palace with its striking Gothic details.

Your gondolier will then steer you into quiet back canals to see the historic Gran Teatro La Fenice and the magnificent Baroque Church of San Moisè. These peaceful waterways reveal the more authentic side of the city, lined with flower-filled balconies, stone bridges, and softly lapping reflections.
