For centuries the Gondola has been the most prominent feature of Venice and an important means of transportation. With its magnificent form and its most characteristic and decorative bow which counter balances the gondolier and is a poetic expression: the curve mirrors the Doge’s Horn and its six “teeth”, the sestieri, which define the neighborhoods which the lagoon city is divided of.Take our enchanting gondola tour and glide through centuries of history, allowing yourself to be captivated by the glamour and elegance of the Venetian Palazzi. The perfect way to appreciate the beauty, charm and color of this unique city built on water; you will be enthralled by your surroundings-a living work of art.Relax and enjoy the romantic tranquility of the Serenissima, unlock the secrets of Venice and her intriguing labyrinth of canals. Feel part of an ancient Venetian tradition and experience Venice as the locals have for more than a thousand years.

On this unique exploration of the Venetian canals, unwind and relax into the gentle rhythms and movements of the Grand Canal, appreciating the skill involved in steering the gondola through the intricate waterways of the city.
