Had the best time in Venice!

We did the shared gondola ride, and I loved it so much! I couldn't come to Venice and not go on a gondola ride. My favorite was passing under bridges, and in general, Venice was magical. I definitely wish to go back!!! And I definitely recommend this gondola ride!

Jackie

Great experience

This was the perfect Saturday night in Venice! A gondola ride along the canals and being able to sightsee Venice and look at the beautiful streets at night with the street lights and people walking around was amazing! Our gondolier answered our questions and gave us an introduction but left us to enjoy the gondola ride on our own, which was perfect because it gave us a chance to enjoy the moment!

John

Great value for money

I'm really satisfied with the Venice pass! I visited the city's highlights, like the Basilica and Doge's palace, and I also did the gondola ride, which was super cool. I learned a lot on the guided tour of the Basilica, like the story of the four bronze horses.

FAQ - Gondola Trip Venice

Should I book gondola rides in Venice in advance?

We recommend booking your gondola ride in advance so you can secure a ride at a time you prefer and have the experience you want. We offer different options, such as a gondola ride with dinner or serenade, shared and private options, and more. See our full offer to find the gondola ride for you!

What is the best time for a gondola ride in Venice?

The best time for a Venetian gondola ride is early in the morning when there are fewer people on the canals, and in the evening. A gondola ride before sunset is a good option for those wanting to sightsee Venice, while you can take in the vibrant nighttime atmosphere of the city after sunset and enjoy a more intimate ambiance, too. Gondola prices go up after sunset, though, so check out our offer to find the best option!

What should I wear for a ride on a gondola in Venice?

Wear comfortable shoes to make boarding the gondola easier. Visitors like to dress more formally, especially if they are going for a ride on a gondola after sunset. Since gondolas don't have protection from the weather, check the forecast and dress accordingly to stay comfortable as you explore Venice from the canals.

Does every gondola ride in Venice include music?

No, not every gondola ride includes music. We offer a Venice Gondola Ride with Serenade, so you can enjoy the city in the most romantic way possible!

How long is a Venice gondola ride?

Gondola rides in most of our options are 30 minutes long.
