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.

A worker from the company was waiting for us at the meeting point and kindly accompanied us to the starting point of the gondola ride. We shared it with a couple, in total we were 5 people. We liked it so much that we decided to take a second gondola ride. Venice is beautiful, spectacular from the Grand Canal.

Very well organised. Our guide was there to show us onto the Gondala. We had an 1/2 hour ride which was amazing as we travelled through narrow canals and under a number of bridges. Would certainly take the same trip again!
