Step by Step

This private gondola ride in Venice is one of those experiences that turn a visit to the city into an unforgettable memory. You'll climb aboard a traditional gondola to take in some of Venice's most beautiful scenery, letting yourself be carried away by the leisurely pace of its canals and the city's unique atmosphere.

The route combines passing through the most emblematic area of the Grand Canal and entering smaller, quieter canals, where you can better appreciate the more intimate and authentic side of Venice. Along the way you will see elegant façades, picturesque bridges and corners that can only be reached by gondola.

Highlights along the way include the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Punta della Dogana and the area around the famous La Fenice Theatre. You will also pass close to places full of history and charm, in an itinerary that shows you the most monumental and also the most hidden side of Venice.

As this is a private tour, you will enjoy a much more exclusive and personalised experience, whether as a couple, with friends or as a family. It is a simple but very special way to experience the essence of Venice, with the convenience of booking an entire gondola for your group and without sharing the ride with other travellers.

    I loved the experience, especially the tour of the less travelled canals. The gondolier was a crack, very friendly and with lots of stories to tell.
