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.

A solid ride!
It’s a beautiful gondola ride! If you’re expecting to have a lot of chatter, it’s definitely not that. They are to themselves, but that is well explained in the purchase. But the Gondoliers are incredible at what they do. We did the canal and then ended up in one of the larger channels near (but not next to) the Duoma that was a great part of the ride.
Views 8.5/10!

Nice gondola ride
Nice ride in the gondola, and previous explanation. It is just 4 people on the gondola, felt like a private ride, there was a light rain that refreshed the ride after the summer heat.
Only thing we missed was, we downloaded the suggested app, but they didn't explain much about it.

Great tour with plenty of knowledge
Our guide Niko (sorry if it’s spelt wrong) was highly knowledgeable about everything. Made sure we we got as much information as possible. History of the area and the buildings. Great guide and highly recommend this tour too as we got picked up and dropped off our hotel which saved alot of walking in the heat. Absolutely loved it

The description was a bit confusing. We did not have a lunch though it mentioned it. However our guide was fabulous and we had a great tour. Note that women must cover bare shoulders and knees.

Such a fun & unique way to learn about Venice as a first timer! Our tour guide, Denise, was amazing, kind, and super informative. She answered all of our questions and gave us many recommendations.

The best tour in venice!
This is by far one of the best Gondala and history tours you can have. For €85, you and your partner can have a 45 minute Gondala tour through Venice and onto the Grand Canal. You'll get a VR history introduction about Venice, then a 10 minute walk to the Gondala's with a tour guide. The guides are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and talk to you via an ear piece whilst walking and on the Gondala.
What a brilliant experience for the money.

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.
