Details

Take a tour of Venice from its waterways for the best and most breathtaking views of the city. This 30 minutes tour is priced for a group of up to 4 persons plus the guide.

You’ll be steered in style by your own personal gondolier through centuries of history, along the iconic Grand Canal, one of the most elegant high streets in the world.

Pass Ca Dario, Casanova’s home, Palazzo Grassi, Ca Rezzonico, Ca Bembo, Ca Pesaro, the Rialto Bridge, Campo Manin, and Mozart’s house.

Sit back and relax as you take in the surroundings and your expert guide entertains you with anecdotes about the city. Learn the history behind La Serenissima, pass by the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, and pass under the Accademia Bridge. Hear tales behind the gondola itself as you near the majestic Rialto Bridge.

Turning into one of Venice’s scenic side canals, you’ll take in the splendor of the Canal Grande and also be able to enjoy the quaint charm of the smaller, more residential areas.

Your informative guide will tell you all about the gondola and its unique structure, and the traditions of Venetian gondoliers. This is an excellent way to combine an informative and stimulating guided tour with a romantic gondola ride.

Time respected, gondolier and friendly guide, we had a great time on the water.m (about 50 min). Our guide could have taken pictures of us in improvement and exchanged a little less with the gondolier.

A one ride was ideal. The guide was a great person who answered all of our various questions. But in terms of the whole history of Venice, it was disappointing. A guide must tell, and here it was not the case. We paid a lot of money for a ride with a superb person who accompanied us and was not instructed.

That was great! a perfect German guide, a super nice gondolier, who got the ride extended by 30 minutes instead of an hour! We were with the Gondola San Marco, Grand Canal, La Venice Opera, Rialto Bridge, Bridge of Sighs Doge's Palace and much much more !!! THANK YOU

We are really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was Clementina. (I hope I spell her name right). She was so kind and telling us a lot of stories about Venezia. Gondolier was amazing! He rowed the gondola perfect! I highly recommend this tour!
