Private romantic gondola ride in Venice

Travel back in time and discover Venice aboard a private gondola. During the 17th and 18th centuries, it was estimated that there were 8 to 10,000 of the boats operating on the canals of Venice, but today there are only 400 still in active service, including the one you will travel on! 

Reconnect with a historic mode of transport and all its hidden symbols. Although most gondolas are now used for touristic purposes, you'll be fascinated by the strong bond they continue to have with the history of Venice. Each part of the boat has symbolic meanings, such as the ferro (prow) with its 5 or 6 pettini (prongs) that symbolize the city’s sestieri (districts). Made of iron to balance the weight of the gondolier, the "S" shape evokes the flow of the Grand Canal.

Take advantage of this romantic gondola ride and surprise your loved one on a special occasion. What better way to get a wedding proposal on a gondola with an amazing background of Venice and its monuments. Your gondolier can even help you make the moment even more special by taking a few pictures just before your departure and/or at the end of your trip.
