Details
Discover the beauty of the Venetian Lagoon with a shared gondola ride in Venice along the Grand Canal! Guided by experienced gondoliers, all you have to do is relax and enjoy the view while discovering the hidden gems of one of the most iconic and romantic locations in the world.
In the first part of the tour, the gondola will cross the Grand Canal, which divides the historic centre of Venice into two parts with its sinuous course. Along the way, you will pass under fascinating ancient bridges that connect the banks of the canal, and you will admire the architectural wonders that surround you.
We will then move on to the minor canals, to explore the quieter and less crowded corners of the lagoon. You will have the chance to experience the atmosphere of Venice and its magical alleys at their fullest, while observing postcard landscapes!
