Description:

As the city passes around you, your authentic gondola slices the canal water in a quiet rush. Glide along the Grand Canal and venture into small, peaceful waterways. Planning your ride in advance is the most cost-effective way to enjoy this essential Venice activity.

Significant icons of the city, these charmingly hand-crafted wooden rowboats trace their history back to the 11th century, when they were used as a primary form of public transport. During their heyday in the 17th and 18th centuries, there were as many as 10,000 gondolas throughout the city. Today, that number is down to 400 in active service.

On this 35-minute experience, admire majestic palaces and ancient bridges as an experienced gondolier guides your path.
