Hidden Gems✨

30-Minute Shared Gondola Ride across Smaller Canals

Glide through Venice’s lesser-known canals on a shared gondola ride, revealing the city's hidden charms.

Details

Step aboard a traditional gondola and glide through the peaceful canals that reveal a side of Venice many visitors never see. Pass quiet waterways, graceful bridges, and centuries-old facades while your gondolier shares stories about this timeless symbol of the city.

Sail by sights like the famous La Fenice Theatre and slip through the narrow canals near Campo San Moisè, where daily life unfolds away from the crowds. A glimpse of the Grand Canal and the striking Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute adds a final touch to this authentic Venetian experience—perfect by day or evening.

I think a gondola ride is a must whilst in Venice! You see the city from a different perspective. The gondolier was very skilled and smooth in manoeuvring the gondola. A very enjoyable and unforgettable experience.

Punctual timetable and meeting point near the starting canal. Friendly gondolier and excellent "guide" who explained to us the buildings we saw passing by or the events that characterized those places. Very nice experience that I recommend to do at least once to everyone

We went as a group of 11 and had three different gondoliers. While ours did not offer many details he was friendly and whistled some throughout. The other two gondoliers offered plentiful information about the buildings the occupants were seeing.

Very good value for money. You get around 30 minutes on the gondola and go through the side streets and then into the main canal.

Visited Venice solely with the intention of a gondola ride. It was a solo trip so I was happy to find an option of a shared ride to make it much more affordable. The guide as great and we spent the majority of the ride down the smaller side canals off the grand canal. 100% would recommend.
