Venice: Grand Canal by Gondola with Commentary

Venezia

Your gondola ride begins in the emerald waters of the Grand Canal. The meeting-point is located near Saint Mark’s Square, making it easy to fit your tour in with other sightseeing plans. Settle into a traditional Venetian rowing boat, a staple on these lagoons for around a thousand years. Rides include a maximum of only five people, so you’ll be able to stretch out comfortably without a tight squeeze. Glide by some of the city’s most renowned attractions, from the Teatro La Fenice opera house to the Santa Maria della Salute basilica. Listen to commentary from your gondolier during the ride or multilingual narration using an app, depending on the option you select. Prefer a quiet ride, alone or with friends or loved ones? Simply choose a private gondola ride with no commentary.
