Step by Step
Climb aboard a Venetian gondola and discover the city just as its ancient inhabitants did. This 30-minute trip through the canals of Venice will allow you to enjoy its beauty from the water, on a shared tour with other travellers.
As the gondolier skilfully navigates the canals, you’ll pass under historic bridges and alongside centuries-old palaces that seem to float on the water’s surface. The reflections on the water, the golden hues of the sunset and the sound of the oars setting the rhythm make this trip a moment of pure serenity.
Although the tour does not include commentary, the visual charm speaks for itself: you’ll see Venetian architecture, the less-travelled side canals and the Grand Canal, the heart of the city. Each stretch offers a new perspective on Venice, with hidden corners that can only be appreciated from the water.
On arrival, the staff will assist you in boarding and disembarking comfortably, ensuring a hassle-free experience. Ideal for those seeking a short, authentic and relaxing activity during their visit to Venice.
Reviews
- JJ.We did it on our first day in Venice and it was a good introduction to the city. Short, enjoyable and easy to fit into our plans.
- AA.The sound of the oars and the buildings reflected in the water made the walk very special. Perfect for unwinding for a while.
- SS.It was a good experience, although there was quite a lot going on at the jetty and it was a bit chaotic at first. Afterwards, the tour made up for it.
- NN.I preferred the small canals to the more open areas. They have a very authentic charm and are less busy.
