Traditional gondola ride on Venice’s Grand Canal
Activities
Venice, Italy
4.3/5
Free Cancellation
Language:
Mobile voucher accepted
Duration: 30 Minutes
Do this because
A ride on a traditional gondola is unmissable during your trip to Venice
You’ll glide along the famous Grand Canal
There are endless photo opportunities along the way
What to expect
The gondola is one of Venice’s most recognisable symbols – just as iconic as the city’s winding canals. However, this unique vessel hasn’t always looked the way it does today. It’s changed over time, evolving alongside Venice itself, shaped by history and tradition.
These boats aren’t just pretty, they’re built using time-honoured techniques, each detail carrying symbolic meaning. The comb-like teeth of the iron prow – known as rebbi – represent the six sestieri, or districts, of Venice. It’s not just decorative either – the iron helps balance the gondolier’s weight and its flowing ‘S’ shape mirrors the curves of the Grand Canal.
If you really want to get into the Venetian spirit, a gondola tour is a dreamy way to soak up the city’s sights. You’ll float past elegant old buildings, slide under bridges and feel the atmosphere of this one-of-a-kind place built on water.
What's included
Boarding assistance
Gondola ride
What to remember
Know in advance:
The gondola ride runs even if it’s raining. However, in case of heavy rain, the tour may be cancelled, and you’ll be offered a full refund or the chance to reschedule. Please note that no refund will be provided for no shows or late arrivals
The experience lasts around 25 to 30 minutes, including the time it takes to board and disembark
This is a shared gondola ride, with up to five people per boat, so you might be sharing the experience with other guests
There’ll be assistance on board, but please note that the tour doesn’t include live commentary
On certain dates, you may need to register and pay an access fee to enter Venice. We recommend checking the official Comune di Venezia website for the latest details and how to register or pay in advance.

Tour de gondole, mythique et sympa. Après les gondolier sont soit sur leur téléphone soit ils parlent entre eux excessivement fort. Le client n'a aucun intérêt dommage. Il serait plus sympa qu'il nous raconte un peu l'histoire de la ville, des gondoles.... Bref à faire juste parce que c'est Venise

We thought the ride would have been better overall .The Gondalier was on his mobile phone the whole time which was very annoying.The route was also disappointing as we seemed to go past loads of scaffolding /building work.The best short part was on the Grand canal.There were five people on the ride

Didn’t realise until we boarded the Gondola that it was a shared ride with 2 other people, who were not the most friendliest or polite people, they didn’t like us taking photo’s of the experience as they didn’t want to be in the pictures.
Plus, the Gondolier wasn’t very friendly, he never spoke once

Wir fanden es sehr gut, dass die Gondelfahrt durch viele kleine Kanäle geführt hat und nicht nur am Canale Grande entlang.Die halbe Stunde war völlig ausreichend. Beim nächsten Mal würden wir vielleicht für 14 Euro mehr eine eigene Gondel nehmen.Auch das Treffen am Treffpunkt mit so vielen Menschen, die Wartezeit dort, den Fußweg mit allen zum Gondelstand und die Wartezeit bis alle in einer Gondel saßen fanden wir etwas nervig.Insgesamt aber auf jeden Fall besser als erwartet und empfehlenswert.

Enjoyed the experience, although it was only 20mins in the actual boat, 5mins walk from the meeting point to the boat and then 5mins waiting to get off the boat. It was shared so there was another couple in the boat with us.

There was a very long wait and an enormous queue of people who all had the same time slot, it caused a lot of confusion at the boarding point. Other groups were vying for the same gondolas which then blocked each other in the narrow canal. Our gondolier wore an earpiece and talked throughout.

Poter ammirare Venezia direttamente sfiorando l'acqua è un'esperienza incredibile che consiglierei a tutti. Siamo stati in compagnia di Alvise il nostro gondoliere che ci ha raccontato un sacco di aneddoti interessanti e curiosi
L'organizzazione è precisa e gli addetti molto cortesi. Complimenti!

Aldilà del gondoliere scorbutico, l'unico di tutti quelli che c'erano in giro l'abbiamo beccato noi che ha reso l'esperienza noiosa, speravo che almeno fosse individuale e non condivisa con altre due persone, a questo punto pagavo direttamente là e di più ma almeno era solo per noi due.

Den Treffpunkt für die Gondelfahrt zu finden war leider nicht so einfach. Wir haben die Post gefunden das war das erste was wir gleich gesucht haben. Nur wir haben nach dem gelben Punkt oder ein gelbes Schild gesucht was wir nicht gefunden haben. Wo wir vor 15 Uhr am vereinbarten Treffpunkt da waren,nach mehr mal nach fragen haben wir dan ein gelbes Schild gesehen,weil der Stand dan auf hatte und die ganzen Angebote zusehen waren. Tipp macht ein Aushang hin hier sind die TUI Angebote.

Excellent email idea as we had hours to wait at airport. So quick and easy to book online and far less expensive than o thought it’d be. Quite simple then to navigate around Venice and also quite easy to find meeting point. Super experience which was a real once in a lifetime treat. Thanks Tui!

The instructions were clear and experience was a bit later than time stated for the Gondola ride but there were so many people I suppose it couldn’t be helped. Was the most amazing experience and we shared the Gondola with a lovely Canadian Couple. It was my birthday so this added to an amazing day in Venice.

Un giro in gondola a Venezia è sempre piacevole da fare, ma, visto il costo e la gondola condivisa, mi sarebbe piaciuto percorrere il Canal Grande per un centinaio di metri in più fino a Piazza San Marco. Confusionaria e affollata l'organizzazione, concentrata in un unico punto per molti eventi

Well it took 15 minutes of the Gondola ride to get going as there were so many Gondolas trying to move out at the same time it was like being in a log jam.
A few people were nearly hit by other Gondolas as there were so many.
Once we were on on our way it was very pleasant and the views were great

Short gondola trip , good value, the meeting point could have been opened earlier just so we know we were in the right place as the one next door was more obvious . Took a while to walk to the departure point and loading everyone onto a gondola, the boats caused themselves a traffic jam !
