Romantic gondola ride in Venice

 A gondola ride is one of the most romantic experiences in Venice (Italy)

Larger groups (as in the picture) rent two gondolas and drive “in convoy”.

  
The price for a gondola ride is 31,00 Euro per person.
Maximum 6 persons have place in one gondola
Duration: about 30 to 35 minutes.
 

This amount is NOT negotiable with the gondolier.

But on the contrary:
On spot in Venice, the gondoliers usually try to bring
6 persons in a gondola and then ask for “only 31 Euro” per person.

The gondolier, which have the dock directly in centrum,
close to the beaten tracks of tourists,
ask for more or just offer a shorter route.
 

The price of a whole gondola (private service)
by booking in advance here about Venedig.com
is only 95,00 Euro.

For this you get the written guarantee that only the persons sit
in the gondola which you have booked.

The favorable fix price is valid the whole year.

The day trip (9.30-18.30 h) usually takes about 35 minutes.
Lunch break is from 13.00-14.00 clock.

Please observe the usual market economy rule:
Supply and demand regulate the price.

In the late afternoon and at sunset, the demand is greater,
so you have to expect the increased price of 119,00 per gondola.

Maximum 6 persons can sit in one gondola

If you book in advance via Venedig.com a gondola ride we guarantee you in writing
that in the gondola there are only the persons, which you specify in your advance booking and
you do NOT need to share the gondola with other guests.

If you book music and singers, of course, the number of free seats is reduced accordingly.

Our tip:
Make your partner a surprise and give him a gondola voucher.

Best known and immortalized on countless photos are the many
gondolas that are located directly on St. Mark´s Square.

Overlooking the great Canal Guidecca and the church of San Giorgio.

Several gondolas under the Seufzer bridge.

Note:
From 22.07.2013 the city administration of Venice has issued, that nothing more
can be drunk or eaten in gondolas.
From now on there is (unfortunately) no bottle of prosecco allowed!

Spring or Autumn are the two high seasons in Venice.

Especially in the afternoon and at dusk the gondolas are the most in demand.

You can use this to your advantage:
It is sufficient if a gondola in front or behind you
a musician with singer “on board” has.

His “O siole mio” sounds far through the narrow canals,
so you too can benefit from it.

View from the Campanile to the gondolas.

As you can see, a ring of pontoons (floats) pulled around the entire dock.

This will prevent the larger waves from channeling Guidecca.
(easy to see in the picture)

A little tip on how to get to a gondola ride without much money.

In several places of the Grand Canal larger
“multi-person gondolas” cross the canal.

The easy crossing costs you only 50 cents.
(For locals, tourists pay 2 euros)

As you can see in the picture, 2 gondoliers are at work here
to transport the passengers.

If you book music and singers, the gondola ride becomes a special romantic experience.

The singer (here on the left) is get up to sing, of course.
On the whole gondola ride of 3-35 minutes you can count on 4-5 songs.

Mostly they are whole groups in several gondolas to book music and singer.

Maybe you´re lucky and in front of you is gondola with a singer.

The stop Bacino Orseolo we offer you here is located directly behind
St. Mark´s Square in the center of Venice.

In the picture a recording during the lunch break.
