Details
Come and discover the heart of Venice with our gondola ride with a walking tour! You will be the one to choose whether to begin the activity with a walk or a ride along the canals of the Serenissima. We will start from next to St. Mark's Square, and navigate for a short distance in the famous Grand Canal.
It will be beautiful to admire the Basilica della Salute from the water, as well as the majestic palaces and traditional homes that line the street. We will continue the tour along the many romantic minor canals, before returning to St. Mark's Square. The second part of the activity, however, will take you on a walking tour through Venice.
You will be able to photograph the Teatro la Fenice from the outside, and the striking Scala del Bovolo, which we will reach after crossing a narrow calle. These streets are little known and frequented by tourists. You will also walk, finally, in the area of the Rialto Bridge, the beating heart of Venice, before saying goodbye.
