Venice Canals Gondola Ride
Gondola Ride in Venice, a Unique Experience in the City of Canals
At the designated time, we'll meet on Calle Larga Ascensione, near the famous St. Mark's Square, where we'll climb aboard our gondola, sailing the Venetian canals.
Each gondola can hold a maximum of 5 people, so you can share it with other passengers from other groups. The gondoliers will also decide where you'll be seated in the boat. Please note that gondoliers are not guides, so they won't provide commentary about the city. All you have to do is fully focus on the ride, sit back, and enjoy!
Although we won't pass under the Bridge of Sighs, this gondola ride in Venice will take us along the Grand Canal. We'll admire the stunning architecture of one of the most romantic cities in the world. First, we'll glide toward the Santa Maria della Salute to take in this church's beautiful facade. From there, we'll venture into the smaller channels, circling the Teatro de La Fenice and navigating the peaceful waters around it.
After this magical gondola ride through Venice's canals, we'll return to our starting point to conclude the experience.
