Details

Take a shared gondola ride through St. Mark’s Basin, where you'll glide past stunning islands and majestic palaces. Experience the artistic treasures of the Republic of Venice as your expert gondolier navigates the calm waters.

Along the way, drift through picturesque canals framed by centuries-old architecture and graceful bridges. Watch local life unfold on the water’s edge—quiet calli (alleys), occasional water taxis, and resident families—offering an authentic glimpse into daily Venetian rhythm.

Please note that this is not a guided tour —no additional guide boards the gondola. However, your gondolier will ensure a smooth, enjoyable ride while subtly highlighting the timeless beauty of Venice. Perfect for anyone seeking a peaceful, genuinely Venetian experience.

    We truly enjoyed the shared ride along with friends. I would recommend everyone to take advantage of shared ride which is economical and having sense of fulfilling experience. Such a peaceful ride sailing through those channels and centuries old buildings! I would do it again in the future.

    Enjoyed the gondola ride. Beautiful views. Be wary that it is advertised for 30 mins but that also includes the walk from the meeting place to the gondola and then our gondola finished a few mins early so probably was only around 20 mins. Good experience though

    Prestation de qualité, balade fluviale sympathique agrémentée de l’interpellation des gondoliers entre eux.

    Brilliant value for money lovely chatty informative Gondolier who even gave us a song. Sailed around the tranquil side canals and the Grand Canal for half hour. Would highly recommend.

    Our guide was mute. Perhaps that is what we paid for - so no complaints.

    Very good, welcoming, and very peaceful and calm gondola tour in the pretty streets of Venice Slightly short considering the price (almost 80€ for 2 people for 25min) but very good experience all the same
