Classic Venice: 30-min Private Gondola Ride

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

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 activity was as expected. the boatman spoke a little about the sights and kept quiet most of the time which is my preference.

We had a wonderful relaxing gondola ride, after quite a stressful time getting to the spot (our fault, traveling into Venice for a day trip with two young kids in tow, just give yourself more time than you think. Our gondalier was excellent and although it doesn't come with a live commentary he showed us the top sights and expertly guided us through quiet and busy canals
