About
Take a tour of Venice’s world-renowned canals in one of the famous, typical gondolas! Your stripy-shirted gondolier will whisk you up and down the floating city’s most secluded waterways before joining the famed Grand Canal for a tour of the most unmissable landmarks and sightseeing hotspots.
As you sit back and relax, you can take in highlights like the Mozart House, the all-enduring La Fenice Theater, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and the Basilica Santa Maria della Salute. Naturally, you’ll also get unbeatable views of heavyweights like the Palazzo Ducale and St. Mark’s bell tower.
Visit the Gondola Gallery to learn how Venice’s famous boats are made. See original tools, a gondola cross-section, and examples of traditional craftsmanship. Then, take a virtual gondola ride through the canals of Venice and learn about the city’s history and traditions.
