About This Tour

Glide past iconic landmarks and romantic side canals as your gondolier navigates the heart of the Floating City, with a digital map of over 200 points of interest for exploring on foot afterward. A private gondola ride along the Grand Canal and romantic side canals, with a digital map featuring more than 200 points of interest provided for exploring Venice's alleys afterward.

The Grand Canal isn't actually straight — it winds through the city in a wide, elegant S-curve for roughly 3.8 kilometers, lined along its length by somewhere around 170 historic buildings dating from the 13th to the 18th century, many of them grand family palaces built specifically to be seen and admired from the water rather than from the narrower street running along behind them.

Riding through it by gondola is, in a real sense, the way the canal was always meant to be experienced — the facades were designed with a waterline view in mind, long before anyone thought of it as a tourist activity rather than simply the way the city's wealthiest families chose to show off their homes to one another across the water.

This gondola ride follows that curve past the Grand Canal's best-known landmarks before slipping into the quieter romantic side canals that branch off it, where the noise and crowds thin out noticeably within just a few turns, and you'll also get a digital map covering more than 200 points of interest across the city, meant for exploring on foot once the ride ends.
