Enchanting evening

Lauren_S, Jun 2025

This was such a romantic evening to add onto our honeymoon. The gondola experience was so lovely and since we scheduled it a little later, the canal wasn’t as busy you take the gondola to the palace and have the most wonderful Aperitivo at a Venetian Palace, where they really went out of their way to ensure they accommodated my gluten allergy!

Great way to start our stay

Great way to spend our first night in Venice! Traditional gondola ride was perfectly romantic and the aperitif in the palace was amazing! We were treated very well by everyone involved.

Gondola and Aman

Victoria_F, Jun 2024

This was a little pricey but I would recommend this experience. The gondola ride was 30 minutes and brought us through some really cute idyllic italian areas. The skill of the gondolier is impressive. We had aperitif at Aman with a seat closest to the water and used water pistols to keep the pigeons away. It was a nice way to start our Venice stay.

Our guide was very...

Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative and it was a pleasure to learn about the history of Venice as we walked through the city. We had a wonderful gondola ride thru the beautiful canals of Venice and ended with an aperitif overlooking the canal from a palace veranda. Such gorgeous views! Very special!

Stunning palace and very informative tour.
