Description

The best perspective to admire Venice is from the water, and a gondola is the most traditional and unique way to do this. Discover the city through a guided tour, experiencing how Venetians moved from one district to another in the past. Your gondola ride begins from Riva del Carbon, a few steps away from Rialto Bridge. Navigate the Grand Canal before crossing toward hidden inner canals that will allow you to admire views that go unnoticed when walking through the city center. Marvel at the majestic Rialto Bridge, one of the most ancient and famous bridges in Venice. Come across famous buildings, such as the gothic Ca' d'Oro Palace, and the ancient Frari Church. Return back to Rialto Bridge to continue your day in Venice.
