What To Expect
Canal Grande
“The most beautiful road in the world”, this is how the Canal Grande is known as. If you look around, what you will see is almost the same view that a 18th-century nobleman would have seen, and before him a Renaissance courtesan, and even before that, a merchant who lived in the Middle Ages.

Teatro La Fenice
Once one of 7 major theatres in the city, today the Fenice is Venice’s one and only opera house. It is surely a jewel among European theatres, and began to shine from the beginning, as the best composers of the age wrote and performed their operas here, among which Bellini, Donizetti and Rossini. But it was Giuseppe Verdi who is most attached to the Fenice and to Venetian memory.

Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute
Here, as you come into the Grand Canal you are opened to the church of the Madonna della Salute.
The first thing that strikes a viewer is how imposing the church is, strategically placed at the entrance of the Grand Canal looking out onto the rest of the city in every direction, thanks to its circular shape.
Today, ever 21 November the city celebrates the Madonna della Salute in memory of the end of the plague

A dream come true
Kelbys_T, 09-01-2023
Our tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable as well as the gondolier. Had a great time learning about the canals and an even better one riding the calm gondola around Venice, a lifetime dream come true.
Thank you guys.
Mandatory ride for Venice visitors
Thiago_P, 30-11-2022
Pretty much an indispensable ride if you're going to Venice. Buying here was cheaper than what you find in person, and with some nice info provided by the guide.
Ok for the cost
Rosalynne_B, 07-11-2022
If you want a personal gondola ride, I would recommend booking a private service. Me and my partner were squeezed onto tiny stools at the side of the gondola. We are not the slimmest people and found the journey uncomfortable at times.
Very peaceful

Great experience. Really friendly gondolier! Lovely, relaxing experience. I would highly recommend. Newstand was easy to find and staff were very helpful and knowledgeable.
One couple gets great seats, other does not
Ellen W, 28-10-2022
Four people ride in each gondala, and if you’re the first couple to get in, you will get the comfortable seats next to each other. Unfortunately the next couple has to sit across from each other on very small uncomfortable benches. I wish I would have spent the extra money just to get a private ride because my husband and I couldn’t even get a picture together because we were on opposite sides of the boat. If you do book this, try to get on the boat first to snag those seats. If that were the case for us, the experience would have been much better.
Really Good!!

Good budget friendly alternative to hiring a gondola yourself. The views were amazing as expected. Met some nice people on the Gondola who were fun to talk to, the stour guide was great, very social and had a great personality.
