Gondola? I hardly know you!
A fun quick ride through the canals, and grand canal of Venice. After a very cool VR history lesson we made our way to the gondolas and set out.

Selena was an excellent and very friendly tour guide. She ensured we had a great view of the Grand Canal and the glass blowing was great to see.

Best tour guide!
It was amazing! My favorite part was the boat ride and Switzerland! My tour guy Amato and Edoardo the driver did amazing! Smooth ride between going from Milan to lake cumo and then Switzerland & back to Milan. I went with my boyfriend and we had such a great time. We took amazing pictures and learned so much with our tour guy Amato. The Coach bus was so clean and cold! Amazing experience!

Lovely
We loved it. We chose a shared ride, which next time I would do private just for pics. The gondoliers don’t talk to you so just expect that.

This was a very informative tour. The audiovisual portion of the tour was not expected. It provided the history of the Gondola which was a nice touch. I purchased this event at the last minute due the event is had scheduled waa a no show. This tour provided the gondola ride i wanted and then some. Also The tour guide was excellent!

It would be more enjoyable if the meeting point were actually closer to the event. The time filler activities (the VR tour of old Venice) should be optional only.

I was on the tour in Venice on August 4th and we never received the Casanova lunch as advertised - how do I receive a partial credit for the missing feature for 3 people ? I am a long time customer. Wayne Josey

Absolutely amazing! A must do!
Nico was an amazing guide! We had such a wonderful time learning about Venetian history and taking in the scenery. The boat was beautiful and brand new, and the whole experience was amazing! To end it off, Nico took a map and marked up all out his favorite places for us to try! We are only here for a few days on our honeymoon, so this was so helpful for us to maximize our time here! Thank you so much, Nico!!!

When to visit

Most Grand Canal gondola rides begin or end in St. Mark’s Square, home to St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco) and Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale), and include a few picturesque minor canals along the way.
As one of the most popular destinations in Italy, Venice can get extremely crowded. To avoid a long wait at the motor launch, book your tour tickets in advance.
The palaces along the Grand Canal have architectural styles that span from the Byzantine to the Renaissance periods, and are best appreciated with an expert tour guide who can explain their history and importance.
Note that Venice and the Grand Canal feature a great number of bridges, many of which are not wheelchair accessible.
