Romantic Gondola Rides in Venice

This trip takes you through a few small canals onto the main canal and then back in. It’s just a small round trip. We booked 45 min but I think it was the same route as 30min. Just slower. No passing of the Rialto bridge in this tour. We paid 175 euro, which is probably way too much. Better ask around when you are there. For a better price and better route.

Excellent experience. Very very well organized. We walk along the emblematic monuments of the Grand Canal as well as the small arteries, very good value for money. Meeting point very easy to find. Do not hesitate, you really will not regret.

We weren't sure about doing this ride but really pleased that we did. We booked and paid for it online earlier in the day (about £100), went to the travel office in Campo san Luca at the allotted time, where we were issued with a voucher which we took to Bacino Orseolo to give to any of the gondoliers there. Three of us enjoyed having a gondola to ourselves (although we probably could have arranged a ride for just 3 of us on the spot earlier in the day at one of the quieter gondola stations),...

Very friendly gondolier who gave us a guided tour through narrow canals with very little traffic. Do not hesitate to wait for him at the start because he may have a delay on the time of the appointment. The restaurant, then, was also very good, with a very friendly owner.

Wife and I had a great time. Had a nice group and had a very knowledge tour guide, Ricardo I believe. Spoke multiple languages, was very personal, and a true Vanetian! The gondolier was funny and had a smooth ride. Would recommend!

It was a great opportunity to become acquainted with Venice and its landmarks. The guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. If it is your first time in Venice, it is worth taking this tour.

It is the first time that I take this kind of tours and I am delighted with the service. Arriving at the agency we asked for favor if they changed the schedule because it was raining and we did not want to lose the experience of getting on the gondola and the attention was immediate. When we were on our way to the gondola we were given a brief explanation of its origin and the tour was the best, the very friendly gondolier and all the staff, I highly recommend it

Friendly, informative guides who give brief history of how Venice was built. You’ll learn how the Gondolas remain in the family and how the Gondoliers respect one another and work together to keep your ride safe and enjoyable. Highly recommend this Tour. Ezra, our Guide, was GREAT. Many thanks mille grazzi
