The best perspective to admire Venice is from the water and the gondola is the very best way to discover the city and experience how, in the past, Venetians moved from a district to another. That is a unique experience that you cannot miss!
This gondola ride differs from all the other standard rides due to its special duration: 40 minutes instead of standard 30!
The route of this Gondola ride starts few steps far away from St Mark’s Square, crossing hidden inner canals so then you can admire original glimpses that otherwise you cannot notice when walking through the city centre. But that’s not all! This special ride, agreed between this local tour operator and the gondoliers, will let you marvel at the majestic Rialto Bridge, one of the most ancient and famous bridges in Venice.
Don't forget that this is a private tour, so you can let yourself be rocked by the waves of Canal Grande with the people closest to you, having an entire gondola at your disposal, for up to 5 people.

Wonderful trip throughout the small canals. Luca, our gondolier, made our trip with his facts about the area and was very personable
Perfect ride on the canal

Was an an incredibly peaceful gondola ride on a beautifully sunny morning in Venice. We started right on time and got some history on the buildings as we floated through the canal.
Scenic and calm

Great experience, such beautiful views, courteous polite and professional driver. The route is very scenic, it’s a great experience for families with children and also couples on honeymoon/romance. Helps you relax and see Venice's beauty naturally.

Very nice Private Gondola ride longer than the usual 30 minutes rides, they allowed us to board and start a little before the scheduled time. The path where the gondola went was ver y nice and relaxing.
Not Worth The Money

For me it wasn’t worth the money — canals were super crowded with other gondolas. Underwhelmed by the experience. I’d rather take a $50 boat taxi and see Venice that way.
Nice

Our host pointed out a few landmarks but not much. A must do in Venice but was just ok probably because of the lack of conversation from the gondolier
