About this activity

Waft by the beautiful sights of Venice on a 30-minute shared gondola ride and enjoy a serenade, too. Select an afternoon or evening trip, be welcomed aboard your six-passenger gondola by a traditionally dressed gondolier, and set off in a group of around eight gondolas, with a singer aboard one of the boats. Admire Palazzo Barberino and other romantic landmarks as your flotilla navigates the Grand Canal and smaller waterways, and soak up the dulcet melodies from the flotilla’s singer along the way!

Gondola and serenade!

Enjoyed the 30 min gondola and serenade. Staff was on time and 6:30 was the perfect time to enjoy the sunset and a full moon. Great experience

Worth it!

Is this touristy? Yes should you still do it? Yes! We had a great time - it was a short 30 minutes. We started on the grand canal and then made our way through the smaller canals. We could hear the serenade perfectly in the small canals.

Cattle call

It was just okay. The gondola staff was very jaded , disinterested, no passion for the work. The trip was only 30 min. Not 45. One of the other gondolas cratched onto ours, lot of boats FORCED into a space not sufficient. Very important getting more with the least consideration to the passengers. Positive, it was much more financially feasible booking through trip advisor by almost half per petson.
