Venice Morning Walking Tour and Shared Gondola Ride - Marco Polo's House, Teatro Malibran and San Moisè Boarding

Enjoy a morning walk around St. Mark's Square
and a gondola ride in one tour

This roughly 2.5-hour tour walks you through St. Mark's Square and the Castello district with an English-speaking guide, and ends with a gondola ride along the Grand Canal and smaller canals.

During the walking tour you can follow the guide through a personal audio system and headphones.

See the exterior of the Doge's Palace in St. Mark's Square

Admire the grand exterior of the Doge's Palace, once the doge's residence and the administrative center of the Venetian Republic, and learn about its role in governing the city. You also see other historic buildings around the square. Entry into museums or attractions is not included.

Walk through the squares and historic sites of Castello

Stroll through Castello, a district of narrow streets, bridges and canals, and pass Campo Santa Maria Formosa and its church. Then, at Campo dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo, where many doges are laid to rest, hear the story of the equestrian statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni.

You also pass places that show Venice's culture and history, such as the place where Marco Polo lived and Teatro Malibran.

Board a gondola at Piazza San Moisè

After the walking tour, board a gondola at Piazza San Moisè. The gondola is shared with other travelers and glides along the Grand Canal and smaller canals, giving you views of palaces, courtyards and canal scenery that can only be seen from the water. The gondola ride is not a guided tour.

※ Gondola seats cannot be chosen, and each gondola holds up to 5 people.
※ The itinerary may change in bad weather.
