Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Canal Grande, 30100 Venice Italy
“The most beautiful road in the world”, this is how the Canal Grande is known as. If you look around, what you will see is almost the same view that a 18th-century nobleman would have seen, and before him a Renaissance courtesan, and even before that, a merchant who lived in the Middle Ages.
Pass By: Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Just East Accademia Along Gran Canal, 30123 Venice Italy
Peggy Guggenheim Collection is one of the most important art collections in the world. Peggy Guggenheim, from New York, arrived in Venice in 1949 and began to satisfy her art addiction by buying this wonderful building where she put on display invaluable artworks for the whole world to see. The beautiful terrace you see is where Guggenheim sun-bathed regularly enjoying the view over the Canal Grande
Pass By: Palazzo Gritti Badoer, Sestiere Castello 3608, 30122 Venice Italy
The Gritti Palace got its name from the Gritti family, an old Venetian family, the most important member of which was Andrea Gritti,, the Doge of Venice in the Renaissance. Andrea Gritti led the Venetian armies against the League of Cambrai, consisting in France, Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, which wanted to stop Venice’s expansionist ambitions in France.
Pass By: Teatro La Fenice, Campo San Fantin San Marco 1965, 30124 Venice Italy
Once one of 7 major theatres in the city, today the Fenice is Venice’s one and only opera house. It is surely a jewel among European theatres, and began to shine from the beginning, as the best composers of the age wrote and performed their operas here, among which Bellini, Donizetti and Rossini. But it was Giuseppe Verdi who is most attached to the Fenice and to Venetian memory.
Pass By: Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, Campo de la Salute Dorsoduro 1, 30123 Venice Italy
Here, as you come into the Grand Canal you are opened to the church of the Madonna della Salute.
The first thing that strikes a viewer is how imposing the church is, strategically placed at the entrance of the Grand Canal looking out onto the rest of the city in every direction, thanks to its circular shape.
Today, ever 21 November the city celebrates the Madonna della Salute in memory of the end of the plague

Very disorganized at the meeting point. Due to rain, we were limited to inner canals. Would have been better off booking this independently at our own convenience rather than in advance.

This experience was awful. First, there’s a short tour with headsets you only use for 5 minutes, then you board a cramped and crowded gondola. While this tour was advertised as a shared ride, the other gondolas only had 4 people, while mine had five people. I sat in a side stool cramped up against a complete stranger breathing on me, and with his knee pressed into my side. It was horrible and my back and side hurt after exiting the gondola. Additionally, the gondola barely goes on the Grand Canal, and doesn’t go down the part of the canal with the Rialto Bridge. My advice - stay away from this tour and get a gondola on your own; we did that right after this tour and it was great.

It was a strike that I couldn’t go to the Venice. It was only taxi available at the rate €55 so €110 in total for going to this tour. I asked for refund but it was denied. I can’t control the strike and this is totally unacceptable for not allowing me to get a refund for a reason out of my control. Anyway I will get my money via my credit card company

The tour before the ride was very educational. Also we mixed up our meeting location and missed our original time and the team was very accommodating 😊 beautiful gondola overall.

Gondolas are built ideally for two people. First we were not clear we had to go to an office as it only gave an address and google maps did not find it. Secondly it’s a shared ride and the three people behind us ran in front and took the comfortable seats and we sat on small benches. Do not recommend sharing this unless it’s with children

Relaxing ride with a talented gondolaire. Very beautiful scenery yet disappointed that we were not on the Grand Canal.

Our walking guide was fabulous. Great information on our walk to gondola ride.
Our gondoliere was a bit grumpy. Could have welcomed us aboard. Just made rude comment when we are trying to adjust to allow a young couple to have the fun seat. He said " you have got to be kidding me" .

There was an issue with the gondolas being available. Did not fully understand the reason other than being told it never happened before. We had to walk a distance to another location. Once there the ride was very scenic and enjoyable.

In spite of several request to the contact just to wait for 5 mts as the ferry was delayed we got no support and missed the ride completely
I guess you need to be more supportive
Lost lot of money due to non courteous response
