You’ll travel through a mix of narrow inner waterways and the Grand Canal, passing under historic bridges and alongside beautifully aged buildings. Your gondolier will guide you through areas that showcase the city’s unique setting and long-standing traditions.

This experience combines stunning views, rich history, and a unique time of day—creating an unforgettable way to discover Venice from the water.

We like that it is off the beaten path. We went to the quiet part of Venice. We truly enjoyed the old buildings. Our gondolier expertly maneuvered the gondola. He shared little stories along the way. We did not expect him to do but we greatly appreciate it. He was very courteous and considerate. Unfortunately, we cant remember his name.

It was my dream and it didn’t disappoint! Jake was a great gondolier and chatted all the way! I paid for an hour and we did a mix of both the grand canal and the more peaceful canals which was brilliant! The weather was awful in the morning and they kindly delayed until the afternoon where it was beautiful sunshine! A truly memorable time on my birthday!

We didn't really sail in the small streets. Only between the taxi boats. There wasn't much to see on the route. In short, too much money for what it was. The only positive was the experience and a friendly man.

Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about Venice! An amazing private gondola ride! I wish it was 45-60 minutes for the price but overall we will only do this once and it was a great time.

The gondola tour was good and nice to be in the quieter canals on the island. Boat was nice and guide was welcoming but didn’t tell us anything about the island while on the tour
