Step by Step
A private gondola ride on the Grand Canal, Venice's icon par excellence. For 30 minutes, you will enjoy a cruise just for you, with the leisurely pace of the lagoon and the best view of palaces and historic façades.
From the embarkation at Campiello Traghetto (Campo Santa Maria del Giglio), the gondolier will take you along quiet canals until you make your way to the Grand Canal, where Venetian architecture shines in all its splendour. It's a picture-postcard Venice made real, with no crowds or distractions.
Along the way, you'll pass landmarks such as La Fenice Opera House, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Gritta Palace. On the Grand Canal, the views of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute and the Punta della Dogana make for an unforgettable end to the journey in front of St. Mark's Basin.
This is an experience designed for romance and celebrations: anniversaries, birthdays or even proposals. The price is per gondola, not per person, and the maximum capacity is 5; perfect for couples, families or friends looking for privacy and comfort.
