Classic Venice: 30-min Private Gondola Ride

Discover Venice’s timeless charm on a private gondola journey through its iconic canals.

Details

Glide through the shimmering Grand Canal and hidden side canals, surrounded by centuries-old palaces and graceful bridges. Your expert gondolier will guide you through narrow waterways and reveal views only visible from the water.

As you float through Venice’s winding canals, admire:

• The iconic façade of Teatro La Fenice, Venice’s historic opera house
• The striking architecture of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection
• The majestic domes of Santa Maria della Salute reflected in the lagoon
•The silhouette of Punta della Dogana, once the city’s maritime gate

Take in the sights at a relaxed pace and see Venice from the same vantage point its people have used for centuries.

The instructions for the meet point for the Gondola ride were not clear, however once we found the registration kiosk it was very straightforward. We were kindly helped onto the Gondola and the next 30 minutes were smoothly and effortlessly transported through the Canal of Venice

An evening Gondola ride is a must do in Venice. It was fabulous to appreciate the grandeur of the Grand Canal and then slip down the quieter canals under the stars. Our Gondalier was fabulous telling us stories and pointing out things we may have missed.
