Venice: Private Half Day Guided Tour and Gondola Experience

Description

Experience the timeless charm of Venice with a private half-day tour that combines a guided walking visit of the city with the option to add an unforgettable gondola ride.

Meet your local guide in the historic center and begin exploring Venice on foot. Stroll through picturesque alleys and bridges, admire elegant palaces overlooking the canals and discover some of the city’s most iconic landmarks and squares. Along the way, your guide will share stories about Venice’s unique history as a powerful maritime republic, its distinctive architecture and its age-old traditions.

Walk through atmospheric campi (small squares), see graceful churches and palaces, and hear intriguing legends and anecdotes about everyday life in the lagoon. Depending on the season, you might even be lucky enough to see Venetians strolling in traditional carnival masks and costumes, adding even more color to the city’s already magical atmosphere.

You can choose between:

  • Private Walking Guided Tour only – ideal if you prefer to focus on history, art and city life on foot, or
  • Combo: Walking Guided Tour + Gondola Ride – to complete your experience with a traditional gondola ride along the canals.

During the gondola experience, sit back and enjoy the gentle movement of the boat as you glide through Venice’s canals, passing under bridges and alongside historic buildings for a truly romantic and unforgettable perspective of the city.

This flexible experience is perfect for couples, families, friends and anyone visiting Venice for the first time or wishing to deepen their knowledge of the city with a private guide and a customizable itinerary.
