Description

Explore the canals of Venice aboard a gondola. Enjoy live commentary from your guide as your gondolier takes you down narrow ways and along the Grand Canal. Learn about the city's palaces, churches, and attractions. Hear about local stories and the history of the gondola and gondoliers. During your journey, admire the Mozart’s House and pass by the magnificent La Fenice Theatre and the “De le Ostreghe” Canal. Continue to the most important canal in Venice, the Grand Canal. Make your way towards the Salute Church, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and some of the stunning Venetian palaces that run alongside the canal, like Ca' Dolfin, Ca' Loredan, Grimani Palace, and many others. You will also see Punta de la Dogana and Saint Mark’s Basin before making your way back to Campo San Moisè. Step inside a majestic Venetian palace and uncover the secrets of Venice’s most iconic boat. See a real gondola up close, admire a handcrafted oar, and learn how this elegant vessel was once an essential part of everyday life for Venetians. Enter a recreated felze (gondola cabin), then embark on a timeless virtual experience aboard a gondola, gliding through Venice’s legendary Grand Canal as history and tradition come to life around you—just like a noble of the past.
