Our gondola tours offer a unique way to experience the magic of this enchanting city. Whether you prefer a guided exploration or a peaceful, unscripted journey, we have created two different experiences to suit your tastes. You are welcome to choose your option:

Option 1: Audio-Guided Shared Gondola Tour (€35) Offers an immersive experience with an audio guide available via an app. As you glide along the Grand Canal, admire the stunning Peggy Guggenheim Collection Palace, the Gritti Palace and the Salute Church. Discover the famous La Fenice Theatre and Mozart House along the romantic waterways. Your tour ends with breathtaking views of the St Mark's Basin and San Giorgio Island. You will also experience a unique virtual reality journey, exploring the craftsmanship behind Venice's iconic gondolas.

This tranquil journey allows you to fully immerse yourself in the mystical atmosphere of Venice's canals. You'll glide along the iconic Grand Canal, explore the charming smaller waterways, pass by the famous La Fenice Theatre and soak up the tranquillity of the city.

We chose not to take the audioguide just to enjoy the gondola ride better. And although we booked a tour in English we we're put in a French speaking group so we didn't understand a word of the tour on ground. So just in case take the audioguide! The gondola ride itself was lovely, definately worth the money .

If you want a quick gondola ride and nothing else, this is the right one. Takes a little turn into the canals (not under the Rialto Bridge). 30 minutes and then it's done but that's what I wanted. Cheaper to buy on getyourride than on site depending on the currency so it was good.
