Details
Enjoy the most romantic experience framed by beautiful Venice with our gondola ride with sunset apéritif! We will depart from near St. Mark's Square and begin the gentle navigation of the canal waters, briefly crossing the Grand Canal. On board, you will be accompanied by one of our experienced gondoliers in traditional striped dress, as we navigate along the lesser-known canals of the Serenissima under the magical play of lights of sunset.
Once the gondola ride is over, we will head to the first bacaro, the city's traditional taverns featuring rustic wooden interiors. You will have a chance to taste the "ombre e cicchetti", which means Venetian spritz and the typical snack to be served with. We will then go to the second bacaro, where you will also taste a second glass of spritz and another variation of cicchetto. Our experienced English speaking guide will tell you every trivia and legend about this Venetian tradition during the evening walk, before saying goodbye once back at the starting point.
