What to expect
Your guide meets you and leads you through Venice on foot, pointing out the landmarks and stories that matter—not just the postcards. You'll move at a comfortable clip, ducking into quieter streets and pausing where the light hits right. After an hour or so of walking, you'll board your gondola for a serene 35-minute glide. The boatman handles the pole while you recline and watch the city float past. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes; the pavement is uneven and distances deceptive. Infants travel free on an adult's lap.
Good to know
Book ahead to secure your preferred time. A €5 day-pass may apply if you're visiting from outside Venice on certain dates—check the official site before you go. Public transport is nearby if you need to adjust plans.
