Our Gondolier let up enjoy our cruise and didn’t interrupt or rush us. He took the time to explain historic sites and interesting places along the way. Even in the rain, Strongly recommend.

Itinerary
When romanticism and love are running through your veins and you cannot wait to see your sweetheart blinded by passion, here is your chance to show your fiancée that you really care. A marvelous and enchanting gondola ride through the Grand Canal and the minor canals, will let you discover the city from a different point of view. You will breath the atmosphere of the most ancient city in the world built on water.
The restaurant Ai Choristi is just in front of the Fenice Theatre,
Here, as you come into the Grand Canal you are opened to the church of the Madonna della Salute. The first thing that strikes a viewer is how imposing the church is, strategically placed at the entrance of the Grand Canal looking out onto the rest of the city in every direction, thanks to its circular shape. Today, ever 21 November the city celebrates the Madonna della Salute in memory of the end of the plague
The Gritti Palace takes its name from the Gritti family, an old Venetian family, the most important member being Andrea Gritti, who was Doge of Venice in the Renaissance, and led the Venetian armies against the League of Cambrai, composed by France, Spain, Holy Roman who attempted to stop Venice’s expansionist goals in France.
Peggy Guggenheim Collection, one of the most important art collections in the world. Peggy Guggenheim, originally from New York, arrived in Venice in 1949 and began to satisfy art addiction buying this wonderful building where she displayed invaluable artworks to the world. The beautiful terrace you see is where Guggenheim sun-bathed regularly looking onto the Grand Canal.

They were very kind and waiting for us when we were late
We had a great experience. Our boat driver was Nicola, and he was very nice. Would definitely revisit!
Booked through Tripadvisor but was given the wrong address. Called the support number and got an AI agent that messaged another address that was also wrong. Found the number to call the company direct and they emailed me the correct address. There was absolutely nothing special or romantic about this, its exactly the same Gondola ride that you can simply turn up for and pay half the price charged by Tripadvisor without having to walk around half of Venice following bad information.
It was relaxing and beautiful , loved the smooth ride through the ancient city of Venice . Feels like your in paradise
Everything was just perfect.
I had an incredible gondola experience in Venice from start to finish. The VR experience at the beginning was a brilliant touch, giving us a unique, immersive look at the city’s history and the canals before we even stepped outside. It really set the scene and built up the excitement for what was to come. After that, our guide Rachele took us on a lovely walk-and-talk tour towards the gondola. She was amazing from the very beginning — warm, friendly, and full of fascinating stories about Venice and everyday life along the canals. The walk itself felt relaxed and personal, not rushed at all, and she pointed out details we would have completely missed on our own. By the time we reached the gondola, we already felt connected to the city, and the ride was the perfect finale. Gliding through the water after such an engaging introduction and tour made the whole experience feel thoughtful and well put together. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and Rachele’s guidance at the beginning, along with the VR, made it truly memorable.
Good explanation by Veronica. Appreciate it.
Very easy and friendly guide. Her name was Veronica and she explained things very well.
Poor audio quality, guide spoke very fast and was not clear, difficult to understand
Amazing experience!! The Murano and Burano are stunning islands worth visiting! The tour guide Atena was brilliant! She was knowledgeable and very helpful. This tour included Venetian food and wine and she arranged for me to have a vegan option available. Well worth the money!
Very easy to understand and totally worth the money.
The gondola ride was really great and I really enjoyed the tour beforehand! The tour guide was entertaining and knew a lot about Venetian history!
Veronica was great. Very informative
Veronica is lovely! We had a great time!
We absolutely loved our gondola ride in Venice. One of the highlights of our trip. The VR experience and learning about the gondolas was really interesting. Our host Rachael was so lovely and welcoming.
Wonderful experience, 100% worth it.
It was really fun and peaceful and u got to spend Rhine with my family
I loved it , very peaceful atmosphere Beautiful views Excellent guide by Veronica
It was busy to check in at Venice Tours for the trip, but the line moved quickly. It was a hustle to move along the streets fast enough to keep up with our speedy guide. She was very pleasant and helpful. It was a great learning experience and a beautiful day.
Veronica is great guide and was very helpful. Would recommend this tour as it’s good value for money.
elizabeth is amazing !!!! <3333
Great tour guide Elisabeth fantastic
Very lovely guide which gives you interesting information about Venice
The tour includes a VR tour as well as a walking tour with audio. It was very informative!
This was an awesome experience. Jam packed day but got a great view of Venice and what the city has to offer. The only downside was having to find different legs of the tour yourself. It wasn’t too hard to find but overall still a great experience.
It was a good well spoken tour guide
Great info, great knowledge, VR was cool and ride was lovely
Gliding through the quiet, narrow canals away from the crowded streets felt like stepping back in time. The atmosphere was incredibly intimate, especially as the sun began to set later in the day, and the water reflected the warm glow of the historic Venetian palaces. Our gondolier was professional, navigating the waterways with effortless grace while pointing out a few hidden landmarks along the way.
Great VAR of the history of Venice and walking tour and ride Nice and informative
Merci a veronica pour les informations
The tour was nice. Our tour guide navigated the chaos of tourist season to guide us on our way to the gondolas. Veronica was friendly and brought a pleasant energy to our experience. We wish the gondola trip was longer than 30 minutes. We purchased the 1 hour tour which included about 15 minutes of tour and commentary then 15 minutes of waiting for the gondola, then 30 minutes on the boat. My husband is afraid of boats and the gondolier was conscious of this and did all he could to make the experience pleasant.
The agency is very respectful, i had an issue with my booking which i missed by mistake and they were very supporive and gave me a compensation as a complimet by booking another slot sophia at the customer service is great and sara the tour guide is very friendly and supportive Only i wish the gondola tour takea more time than 20 min
Great tour with Venice tours. Nice looking gondola. We were 4 persons in a Gondola for 5 persons which is the standard gondola. But only 2 seats are ok. The 3 other seats are really poor or for children. But fantastic ride in the small canals and canal grande.
Veronica and the gondolier were both accommodating and kind!
It was the best guided tour that I’ve been on. Beatrice the tour guide was the best her knowledge was outstanding. Would recommend this tour
Beatrice was helpful and gave us a lot of information. Great ride! Thank you.
Veronica was a very good guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour through the canals was also very enjoyable. Would recommend. 10/10
It was a very nice background before the ride
My guide, Veronica, was lovely and spoke clearly and was interesting. The gondola took a really pretty route, and with only 5 of us one there it was very relaxing. The experience was great and definitely worth what I paid for it! Thanks!!
Friendly and professional service. A good experience and a funny and friendly guide.
Excellent Tour. We enjoyed the time very much
Veronica was amazing. Very clear and understanding.
Was listed as a 15 walking tour with guide to gondola and then 30min gondola ride. Neither happened as such. 3 min crappy ‘virtual reality’ video with goggles that you have to hold and barely 10 rant from the ‘guide’. The gondola ride went for 12min and didn’t cover the path of the full audio guide. A guide that was cutting in and out on 3 different cell phones. Worst tour yet.
Had a great experience. Sara was amazing.
I really enjoyed the bit of history the guide gives you before the gondola ride!
We had an amazing time. The VR experience was very cool. Frederica, our guide, was very informative and kind! Thanks so much. The gondola ride was amazing, and the views were fab😍
Great tour, lovely guide. Gondola is a must do in venice
We enjoyed the experience, and received good service
Frederica was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and pleasant
