Depart from the Campo San Luca. You can admire the monuments. To get a look at some of the historic buildings from the water, take a trip along the renowned Grand Canal.

You can get away from the crowds of tourists by going down some of the smaller canals. Your gondolier will gently guide you through the city's historic center aboard the city's most traditional mode of transportation as you pass the Gothic façades of palazzos. Your amazing gondola ride will come to an end as you glide back to the starting point.

Know before you go

• The ride could last less than 30 minutes depending on how busy the canals are. The length of the gondola ride is up to the discretion of the Gondolier.
We enjoyed the gondol ride through Venice with our gondolier who was Nice to tell us about the history and tips on where to eat, which was a great Italian restaurant.

It’s not worth it to pay online, you find loads of gondoliers that are free to take you on the spot. We paid more than £100 for an evening ride and after we booked it we were walking and as the gondoliers are trying to attract you, we found one and his price was 80€ on the board but he said he can make a 20€ discount cause that was his last ride. That would have been half of what we paid online, but I couldn’t cancel anymore the reservation unfortunately…

The gondola ride itself was fine.. good value for the money. However the gondola ‘driver’ didn’t say a thing.. was on his phone the entire ride and when asked a question he snapped an answer and went back to his phone. We stopped trying to making convo and just chatted with each other. Our friends in another gondola had a very pleasant driver from the same company. So it really depends on who you get. Overall I would recommend.

Good experience on Gondola. 30 mins go by fast for the price paid, it is certainly an expensive ride. Our Gondolier is great, he was very skillfull, going around tight corners in the narrow river lanes. I'd highly recommend this for the beautiful views and experience.

the ride itself was excellent, however the driver spent the entire trip on the phone, talking to us very little. Also the "Meeting place" is the tour company office which was a 15 minute walk from the actual launch and you have to exchange your voucher for one of theirs. Luckily we stopped by 2 hours early to be sure we were at the right place.

It was very nice that we were able to schedule a ride in advance but if you are traveling to Venice at a slower time, I would just recommend finding a gondolier while you are walking around
