• 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

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

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.
