What people say

"A gondola ride in Venice is commonly a bucket list item. It is the best way to see the hidden canals in the city and get the insider tour. There are many companies that charge €80-100 for a 30 minute ride. Luckily, this price is for the entire boat, not per person. If you are looking for that private and romantic gondola ride, this is the option for you. Unfortunately, I was on a budget when I visited Venice and could not afford this option. When I visited, we paid €2 and took the traghetto. The traghetto is a gondola that will take you across the Grand Canal. It’s not fancy and the journey only takes a minute or two, but it’s enough time to snap a quick photo of yourself with the Rialto Bridge and surrounding buildings. If you are on a budget, the traghetto is the way to go."

"What better way to see the floating city than riding through the canals on a gondola? This 11th century vessel was once the main form of transportation and is now synonymous with romance the world over. 💡 Tip: You can check current gondola fares online, and there’s likely to be a surcharge if you book through your hotel or want to ride at night. It can be beneficial to pick a gondolier away from congested areas. "

" You can get Gondola rides pretty much anywhere! My friend and I paid a total of $80 Euros for a private Gondola ride, it is kinda pricey but definitely worth splurging on!"

Mentioned in these guides

There is so much to see and do in and around Venice, Italy that you could easily spend quite a few days here. This guide will detail MORE than enough things to do in 3-4 days in Venice and the surrounding islands. If you want MORE to do I've also spent time in the Prosecco Hills and the town of Treviso which are both about 45 minutes outside of Venice, feel free to reach out. I have also spent time in the nearby Dolomites so again, I am happy to consult with you about any of those areas as well! This guide will detail why you should visit Venice. -How to best arrive & exit Venice & how to get around while you are there. -Include multiple options for where to stay, all of which I have personally stayed in and can recommend. From luxury (our honeymoon hotel), to airbnb with an incredible water door onto the canal, to a more budget friendly hotel that also has a stunning canal view. There are options for everyone in Venice. -It will detail some amazing things to see, do, eat, and drink in Venice! -It will also detail how to take small day trips to neighboring islands of Burano, Murano, Torcello, and Mazzorbo. Why Venice? Venice is such a fantastic and romantic city.  Walking along or boating along the canals is an experience I truly believe you want to have in your lifetime.  Once you get the hang of it, it definitely feels like a "little big city".  You can walk to anything in Venice if you don't mind getting your steps in.  You can also get around by water bus, water taxi, and the famous gondolas.  You can eat SO well here and drink great wines at reasonable prices.  There are countless things to do and see here and the islands off of Venice are equally as exciting and beautiful!  This guide will detail tons of options for things to do in Venice.  Most of them I have done, I will add a few things I haven't done that I find would be truly worthwhile.  This way you can pick and choose what appeals best to you.  ***I am also available for consultation about your Venice trip and would love to talk to you and work with you to create your perfect experience!
