What To Expect
Teatro La Fenice
See the scenic tower of the famous La Fenice Theater, rebuilt exactly as it once looked and where it was located after the great fire in 1996, which affected the whole building.
You will also glide underneath an elegantly carved stone bridge, dedicated to Maria Callas, who made her first Venetian debut at La Fenice thanks to her starring role in Bellini's ‘The Puritans’.

Lovely Gondola Ride
caseymU9147EH, 21-09-2022
Arrived early and was immediately given a gondola. Gondolier was friendly, funny, and offered to take our photo at the end of the trip. Whilst in Venice I saw many gondola businesses offering trips for 80-100€ so you may be able to find a cheaper ride if you buy one there but I can’t complain about the service we had. We went down some thin canals and also onto the grand canal.
Good value for a private ride

Easy to book and clear guidance on where is the departure spot. I believe that the cost for a private 30min ride is acceptable! The ride itself was enjoyable! Recommended!

Venezia in gondola sembra un quadro, il silenzio dei canali più nascosti..un luogo dove sembra che il tempo si sia fermato...da provare assolutamente
Not a guided tour, just a ride

Sunset ride through the area near San Marco Square. Lovely to see the city in such an intimate way. Guide didn't say a word but it was fine, we just enjoyed the view.
