Gondola ride and serenade: shared tour from April to October
Discover the magic of Venice with a truly special gondola tour: an enchanting boat ride through the city’s picturesque canals, accompanied by a live musician and singer. A suggestive experience for a visit to Venice from the water. With this exclusive gondola tour, you’ll discover the wonders of Venice’s historic center.
You’ll travel with a small, very picturesque flotilla of gondolas (around 6), at the center of which will be the gondola with the musician and singer. This serenaded tour is shared with others and is very competitively priced, much lower than the private serenaded tour. The tour takes place in the evening from April to October.
Gondola trip with music on board in the Santa Maria del Giglio district
This gondola tour departs from Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, a short distance from St. Mark’s Basilica and La Fenice Theater. This tour is particularly interesting because it doesn’t take you past St. Mark’s Square or the Rialto Bridge, but leads you to discover an authentic, hidden Venice!
The tour includes a stretch of the Grand Canal, where you’ll find the most elegant palaces, such as Palazzo Gritti, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, home to the world-famous Peggy Guggenheim collection, and the Baroque church of La Salute.
The tour then continues through the small canals of this part of the historic center, less well known but more suggestive and intricate. From here, you can glimpse watery entrances to noble palaces, guess at secret gardens, hear Venetians talking from their windows, and meet passers-by crossing the myriad bridges linking the city’s alleyways!
Strolling along the canals, you’ll discover the most hidden and inaccessible aspects of the city. Imagine the beauty of the historic palaces you’ll admire from this privileged vantage point, the gentle rocking of the boat as it glides over the water, and the warm musical notes that create the atmosphere of a true gondola serenade!
A Venice gondola ride: an experience not to be missed, and with music!
A gondola ride is a must at least once in a lifetime! It’s an authentically Venetian experience, as in days gone by, the gondola was the most common means of transport used not only by the nobility, but also by other citizens to get around the city. These boats have always been a constant in the history of the Serenissima, and are still used today for rowing excursions and crossings. These are traditional wooden boats, maneuvered by expert gondoliers using voga veneta techniques.
The beauty and majesty of the Venetian setting, the first light of evening, the musical accompaniment and the grace of this boat gliding between the canals make this occasion truly special and offer moments of pure magic! After such a beautiful tour, why not combine this experience with another exciting adventure, such as a palace party or a candlelit dinner? We’re always happy to offer suggestions and advice!
