Overview
Enjoy a ride on a classic gondola, the unique experience for which Venice is famous.
A gondola is a traditional Venetian rowing boat that has been the chief means of transportation within Venice for centuries.
Although water taxis are now used on a day-to-day basis, gondolas still serve as traghetti (ferries) over major canals.
If you are visiting Venice for the first time, you must experience a gondola ride!
Your private ride will be approximately 20-30 minutes in length.
Your gondolier, who will stand facing the bow, will propel you through the magical waters of Venice by pushing a single oar, as gondoliers have done for centuries.
At the end of the tour, we suggest a short walk to the famous Florian Café right on San Marco Square, where you can find a great cup of coffee and a special dessert.
You'll return to your ship via a non-private shuttle.
To make this an extra special event, you may wish to be serenaded by a singer and guitarist or accordionist while floating down the canals of Venice. Choose the singer serenade option when you book the tour.
