Mohamed
The gondola ride in Venice is an unforgettable experience! Gliding through the canals surrounded by beautiful old buildings and bridges feels absolutely magical. The gondoliers are skilled and often share interesting stories or facts about the city, adding a personal touch to the journey. It’s peaceful, romantic, and the best way to truly see Venice from a different perspective. Definitely a must-do — worth every moment!
Johan
We very much enjoyed our gondola tour. We began with a short ~20 minute walk with a guide speaking via earphones about the history of Venice and its gondolas. We then boarded the gondolas (we were lucky enough to get a full gondola for our party, not having to share it) and went on a ~30 minute trip along the canals. For a short while the route also took us into the Grand Canal itself. No guiding during the gondola trip, but we enjoyed taking pictures and looking at the scenery. Catching a gondola via a "drop in" booking was 90 euros per boat so depending on how many you are, and you're mostly interested in the gondola ride itself, that might be more cost effective.

A gondola ride that you should experience at least once when you come to Venice. The price was 90 euros for 30 minutes.

The tour starts from a small souvenir shop. They give us an audio device and take us around to a view point and to the gondola starting point. The ride lasts 20 minutes through small narrow streets where only 2 gondola can go at the same time. It's very beautiful! This tour is organisisde by official tourism board and is a must do activity at Venezia.
