Exploring Grand Canal by Private Gondola Ride

Pick a time that works best for you to leave the Campo San Luca. Gondola rides are available both during the day and at night, when you can admire the illuminated monuments. To get a look at some of the historic buildings from the water, take a trip along the renowned Grand Canal.

You can experience the romance of Venice being carried on a traditional gondola for up to six people, in a more intimate setting that is only for your group.
Pick a time that works best for you to leave the Campo San Luca. Gondola rides are available both during the day and at night, when you can admire the illuminated 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.
Important to know
- The duration of the gondola ride depends on the discretion of the Gondolier
- The ride might last less than 30 minutes, it depends on how busy the canals are

We had booked a gondola ride at 7.30pm only for the two of us. Since we had read in the reviews that the office is not so easy to find, we left earlier. With Googel Maps that was no problem at all. Since it was our turn earlier, the employee asked us if we wanted to drive earlier and where we were we said yes. She wrote a new time on the slip of paper we went to the stop at the Hard Rock Cafe where there was a long line but we were led straight to the next arriving gondola and off we went. It was a special experience from time to time we saw or heard the gondola with musicians. So I enjoyed it very much, I enjoyed it and it would not have occurred to me to look at the watch for how long we were on the road.

Nice, but our gondolier seemed to be bothered by the fact that he was working and spent most of his time trying to look at his cell phone. Any attempt to try and ask him questions was met with blank stares. Glad I did it, but knowing what I know now wouldn’t be sorry if I missed it. Venice was a dream city to tour for me and what I envisioned was what you see on TV and movies. Reality is not so pretty or attractive up close with all the tourist, crowds, sanitation issues, etc.

Great experience, totally worth it to pay for the private experience, fast service, skip-the-line and easy to find. We were 4 and had a great moment on the almost 30 minutes ride.

We loved it, although Gitero Dimitri had a lot to do with it, which we found very enjoyable and friendly
