Overview

This private gondola ride in Venice lasts about 30 minutes and carries two to three people in an elegant gondola. The ride begins at the Santa Maria del Giglio Gondola Station. An experienced and licensed local gondolier will row the gondola along the Grand Canal, the main S-shaped waterway through Venice. During the ride, the gondolier will sing traditional Italian songs, providing a serenade throughout the journey. The route passes several notable landmarks including the Peggy Guggenheim Collection building, the wooden Ponte dell'Accademia bridge, the 17th-century Santa Maria della Salute Church, which was built as a votive offering after the plague, and Palazzo Barbarigo Minotto, known for its golden Murano glass mosaic façade. Hotel pickup, drop-off, and a guide are not included in this tour.
