Full description

This package starts with a roughly 15-minute introduction to how gondolas are built and the traditions around them, followed by an approximately 30-minute shared ride. The route passes under the Bridge of Sighs, crosses St.

Mark's Basin and enters smaller canals, giving a water-level view of the area around St. Mark's.

A gallery visit uses virtual reality to show earlier versions of the city, including St. Mark's Square and the Grand Canal, and a mobile app adds commentary during the ride.

The gondola is shared rather than private. Reviews are mixed on staff friendliness and on the clarity of the meeting directions.
