Venice Grand Canal Classic Gondola Ride

Your experience

See Venice the way it was meant to be seen: from the water, with pre-arranged boarding that saves you time and guesswork.

Getting started

Arrive at the designated meeting point and show your booking voucher for check-in. From there, a local host will accompany you to the boarding area and help you find your shared gondola. Please note that the total experience lasts approximately 50 minutes, including check-in, escort to the boarding point, and boarding procedures. The gondola ride itself lasts about 30 minutes.
