Details
Your visit to Venice will not be complete without having experienced the thrill of getting on a gondola! With our 30-minute private gondola ride on the Grand Canal, you can admire the wonders of this city from a new perspective and then conclude the tour directly at the restaurant, for lunch or dinner.
We will leave from the Dogana gondola station, located on the Grand Canal, a few steps from Piazza San Marco. As we navigate, you will see the imposing Chiesa di Santa Maria della Salute, built to celebrate the end of the plague that decimated the Venetian population, and the Palazzo Cà Dario, which stands out with its typical Venetian architecture and Istrian stone facade. We will then reach Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, where today the Guggenheim Museum is located, and then continue along minor canals from where you can see the Teatro dell'Opera della Fenice, the magnificent church of S. Moisè and many characteristic views of this unique city in the world. If you wish, you can accompany your tour with a duo of musicians who will delight you with a serenade with Italian songs.
After this romantic tour of the Venetian canals, your gondolier will invite you to disembark in front of the restaurant, where you can enjoy an incredible view of the Grand Canal and a 3-course menu with a bottle of wine.
