One of our most popular Private Venice Boat Tours is our 30-minute Private Gondola Ride in Venice. Travelling in a traditional Venetian Gondola, one of the quintessential things to do for most tourists looking for classic city sightseeing tours of Venice. This voyage a along the evocative side canals of Venice offers the most romantic tours of Venice by boat.

The route of our Private Venice Gondola Ride Tour features some of the following attractions: the glorious Baroque Salute Church that was built to commemorate the end of Venice's most severe and devastating plague, the La Fenice Opera House, the Guggenheim Museum & Peggy Guggenheim's former home, the ill-fated Ca' Dario Palace, Mozart's home in Venice and numerous magnificent Gothic/Byzantine Palaces that echo the great prosperity that Venice & the Venetians once enjoyed during the times of the Serenissima Republic.

The Gondola is a unique as Venice itself, their crescent-shaped hulls and their forcole that allow the Gondolieri to position their oars in many different ways is the secret to how these long and slender crafts can navigate the narrow and intricate network of waterways of Venice. As with all our Private Venice Boat Tours you can sit back and admire Venice from completely different perspective.
