Full description

This combined tour offers you the opportunity to experience Venice both on foot and aboard a traditional gondola.


In the first part, a guide will accompany you on a walking tour through the history of the Serenissima Republic, bringing the city’s fascinating past to life through stories, anecdotes, and detailed explanations. Please note that this portion of the tour is entirely external, and entrance tickets to monuments are not included.


In the second part, you will step back in time and enjoy the unique experience of a gondola ride. Sit back and relax during a shared gondola journey of approximately 30 minutes (up to 6 people per gondola). The gondolier will guide you along the Grand Canal (Salute area) and through the charming smaller canals (Fenice area).


The tour concludes at the gondola landing point near the departure station.
