My wife got these tickets for my 60th birthday - we had a ball! It was truly special to be in our private gondola on the lagoon, especially since we were there at sunset. The restaurant staff was also very professional. I have food allergies to nuts and beans, and they modified my meals for me. Plus, the food was delicious.
I took my mother on this cruise and she loved it. The gondolier was very professional and friendly. We boarded immediately thanks to these skip-the-line tickets, and the multi-course dinner was filling and delicious. All in all, very well organized, and the views of Venice were stunning, even on a cloudy day. An amazing way to experience Venice.

Do you know what a gondola's six "teeth" represent?
At the gondola’s prow, you’ll see six teeth-like shapes. These teeth are said to represent the six districts of Venice: Cannaregio, Santa Croce, San Polo, Dorsoduro, San Marco, and Castello. Similarly, the three decorative horizontal lines, called friezes, between these teeth are said to represent Venice’s three nearby islands: Torcello, Murano, and Burano. The shape of a gondola carries deep meaning!
GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
- Please arrive at the Santa Maria del Giglio gondola station 15 minutes before the starting time.
- Although the tour is not guided, the gondolier will likely chat and share some local stories.
- Please wear smart-casual or elegant clothing. Avoid gym wear, flip-flops, swimwear, or beach shorts.
- You will need to show your voucher twice: once for the gondola and once for the restaurant.
