The gondola is perhaps the most iconic cultural symbol of Venice. From narrow waterways to the Grand Canal, and beyond; the gondola’s elegant, sleek design has helped Venetians gracefully navigate their lagoon for centuries.


Your private gondola ride experience begins at a location of your choosing within Venice city center, where you will meet your host. From here, your host will usher you to the nearest gondola station, where you will meet your private gondolier. 


From the comfort of an authentic Venetian gondola, you will have the opportunity to admire Venice from the water—Behold the city’s architecture, discover hidden palatial gateways, and glide past atmospheric squares and churches. Float beneath Venice’s myriad, whimsical bridges. Your private gondolier will gracefully 

navigate Venice’s charming canals, sharing stories and legends of the city’s intriguing past. 


Our private gondola ride is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the traditional Venetian lifestyle. Great for couples and small groups.
