What To Expect
Canal Grande
“The most beautiful road in the world”, this is how the Canal Grande is known as. Gondola serenades have always been part of the Venetian culture, an unchanged tradition for an unchanging city. 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

December Gandola Ride
Jacob S, 13-12-2022
We had some issues arriving on time, but the staff was remarkably accommodating and kind. I have no doubt that a ride made during the warmer months would've been fantastic, as our ride ended up being much colder than I had anticipated.

A romantic trip around part of Venice. Peaceful and beautiful, we had a wonderful time and the Gondolier was excellent and your us a little about the area
A must for first timers

Private Gondola ride was amazing. It was a beautiful night and going on the grand canal was really smooth and not choppy. We knew it was going to be expensive, but its a must for a first time to Venice. Too bad, they dont actually sing ;).
Exploring Venice by gondola

Lovely trip around Venice! The ride took us all over. The boat was comfortable and exciting. We couldn’t find the starting point due to gps issues within Venice but they were accommodating even though we were late.
Excellent!! Not to miss!!!

They were prompt with our ride time. The greeter was was very friendly and kind. Our Gondollier was knowledgeable, fun and informed us of the history. My only complaint is I wish the ride was longer and it would have been nice to have a blanket
