Exclusive Gondola Ride with Guided Old Town Tour – Veneto, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

The unique feature of Venice is its on-the-water location with hundreds of canals, bridges, lively piazzas and colorful water-front palaces. Book an exclusive gondola ride to see the highlights of the Canale Grande and feel the city’s romantic atmosphere. Gondola is more than a popular attraction, it’s a Venetian way of life. Book a private ride and fall in love with the “”City of Water””!

Choose a 1-hour option to book a private gondola experience! Sit back and relax on a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetian rowing boat and cruise down the Grand Canal with a Professional Gondolier.

The main waterway running through the heart of Venice is a part of the world heritage and offers amazing sights. You will see the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica in San Marco, and pass the magnificent Santa Maria della Salute, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Ponte dell’Accademia, Ca’ Dario, Palazzo Grassi, and more. The on-board commentary will introduce you to local history and legends. The ride will end near the famous Rialto Bridge, which connects San Marco to San Polo.

Choose a 2,5-hour to enjoy an exclusive 30-minute gondola experience with a Professional Gondolier (no live commentary), preceded by a 2-hour walking tour of The Old Town led by a Private Local Guide.
