What to Expect
Discover Venice aboard the world's most famous boat: the gondola!
For the city’s nobility, this traditional Venetian boat was the preferred mode of transportation. Originally, the gondola had a cabin that offered passengers privacy and was furnished with the finest fabrics of the time; over the centuries, the boat gradually took on the appearance and typical color scheme we recognize today.
From From Santa Maria del Giglio, you'll sail across the Grand Canal and through smaller canals, to experience the city from a unique new perspective.
- The majestic Basilica della Salute,
- The mysterious and eerie Palazzo Ca’ Dario
- ...and the Peggy Guggenheim Museum are just a few of the magnificent buildings you'll see along the way.
- The tour then takes you through smaller canals, where you can discover the authentic side of Venice.
A gondola ride is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and an absolute must when visiting Venice!
