Highlights of Venice Gondola Ride and Serenade
- Venice β the world\'s most romantic city - is well known and loved for its traditional gondola\'s and there\'s no better way to experience a romantic trip on the canals than by taking a ride in one complete with live music thanks to a local singer and accordion player.
- At its peak, Venice had more than 10,000 gondolas floating along its canals but today only approximately 500 gondola\'s remain.
Is It Suitable for Me?
- One of those iconic once-in-a-lifetime experiences that first-time visitors to Venice should experience and enjoy.
- The best option if you cannot afford a private gondola ride.
- Not recommended for the budget traveller due to the short amount of time spent on the water and the small portion of the waterways that you cover.
- Avoid this gondola ride if you dislike tourist gimmicks!
- Not ideally suited to honeymooners and couples due to being placed on the boat with other travellers.
Your Experience With Venice Gondola Ride and Serenade?
- Make your way to the pre-designated gondola pier at your chosen date and time and take a seat in a traditional Venetian gondola. Together with up to 8-10 other gondola\'s (each boat seating 6 passengers maximum), you\'ll make your way along a portion of the Grand Canal also exploring the picturesque narrow waterways, your traditionally dressed gondolier doing all the hard work.
- All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the experience as the sights of Venice pass you by and listen to singer/accordion player serenading your group with his traditional music.
- You\'ll pass by some of Venice\'s unique architecture that can only be admired from the Grand Canal including Palazzo Barberino. In the narrow waterways the serenade really takes effect, the dulcet melodies amplified by the buildings on either side.
- Snap some photos and take some video but more importantly, stay present, and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience, it will be over before you know it.
