Venice Shared Gondola Ride 30 Minutes - Meet at St. Mark's Column with Assistant Escort

Meet near St. Mark's Square and
explore the canals by gondola for 30 minutes

You meet an assistant at the meeting point, walk to the gondola pier, and then spend about 30 minutes on a shared gondola along the Grand Canal and quiet back canals. Each gondola carries up to 5 people, including children.

Walk to the gondola pier with the assistant

You meet the assistant next to the large columns near St. Mark's Square. The assistant walks with you to the gondola pier, so boarding is hassle-free.

It is a pleasant walk of about 5 minutes past the iconic Doge's Palace through the historic centre of Venice.

See the Salute church and Ca' Dario from the Grand Canal

Board a traditional gondola and glide slowly along Venice's calm waterways. From the water you can see the dome of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute and the facades of the historic palaces lining the Grand Canal.

Look out for Ca' Dario, a palace with striking Gothic details.

Slip into the quiet back canals

When the gondolier turns into the quiet back canals, you can see the historic Teatro La Fenice and the Baroque Church of San Moisè.

You pass narrow canals lined with flower-filled balconies, stone bridges and reflections on the gentle water, and see a calmer side of the city.

※ The gondolier is not a guide, so no commentary is provided.
※ The route and duration may change depending on the tide level, canal traffic and weather.
