Venice Walking Tour & Gondola Ride - Rialto Bridge, Scala del Bovolo & Campo Sant'Angelo

Walk the Streets of Venice
and Ride a Gondola

This roughly 2-hour route explores lesser-known parts of central Venice on foot with an English-speaking guide, then finishes with a traditional gondola ride. During the walk, the guide points out architectural details and shares stories of the city's past.

See the Grand Canal from the Rialto Bridge

From the Rialto Bridge, a stone arch bridge dating back to the 16th century, look out over the Grand Canal busy with boats and the row of Venetian palaces. Your guide shares the bridge's historical importance and stories of Venice as a central trade hub.

Pass Scala del Bovolo and Campo Sant'Angelo

Leave the busy areas behind for narrow winding streets, quiet squares and cafes. Scala del Bovolo, hidden in a small courtyard at the end of a narrow street, is a spiral staircase that shows the transition from Gothic to Renaissance style.

Next, pass the historic square Campo Sant'Angelo and the area around La Fenice Theatre. The guide also points out the blend of Gothic, Byzantine and Renaissance influences in Venetian architecture.

Glide Along the Canals by Gondola

After the walk, board a traditional gondola and see the city from the water while the gondolier steers through narrow canals. Passing under small stone bridges, you get a close look at facades that seem to rise straight out of the water.

※ The itinerary may change in bad weather.
※ Gondola seats are assigned by the gondolier, and each gondola holds up to 5 people.
