Description

The gondola is one of the main symbols of Venice, as emblematic of the famous water city as mysterious in its origins. Not many people know that at the beginning this unique vessel was different from the one we can admire today, changing across time together with the city it is associated to. Of course, the history of the gondola is deeply bounded to the one of Venice.
Considered one of the most beautiful and elegant boats on Earth, it is built through unique techniques and that each part of it also has symbolic meanings. For example, its multi-pronged ferro, or prow, does have five or six pettini, symbolic of the six sestieri in which Venice is divided into. The function of this part made of iron is to balance gondoliere's weigh and it has an S shape evoking the flow of the Canal Grande.
Not only elegance and beauty then, a whole world embodied into this boat nowadays symbol of Venice.
Let yourself experience in first person the gondola through this tour.
An enchanting and relaxing way to enjoy the colors, lights, sights, charm and beauty of Venice. We will admire elegant bank-side palaces, unique bridges and breath the charming and magic atmosphere that only a town built on water can give you.
Board assistance will be provided, no commentary included during the ride. We will take a place on the Gondola (max 5 people per Gondola, shared one) and let the local gondolier, with his distinctive blue and white striped shirt, bring us along the hidden channels of Venice.
Please note that it is a shared gondola (up to 5 people for each one) so the gondola might be shared with other people.

Excelente

É daquelas coisas que a gente lembra anos depois. Avisaram de uma mudança de horário com bastante antecedência. Passar por Maravilha das Veneza já valeu o tour todo.

Bien, con detalles

Positivo en general, con margen de mejora. La zona de Venice de noche es otra cosa. El guía hablaba muy rápido y a veces se perdía el hilo. Lo que no me gustó tanto fue la parada final, medio apurada. Con esos detalles arreglados sería un 10.

Increíble día

Se pasó volando y nos quedamos con ganas de más. La zona de Venice de noche es otra cosa. El 30 minutos en la Góndola superó lo que esperaba. Se ve que el guía elige bien qué contar, nunca se hizo pesado. Si volvemos a Mendoza, lo repetimos.

Contratamos esto casi sin expectativas y terminó siendo lo más lindo del viaje. En Venetian Gondola nos quedamos un buen rato en silencio, mirando. El guía respondió hasta las preguntas más raras con datos precisos. Por el precio que pagamos, la verdad que rinde muchísimo. Si te gusta la fotografía, llevá batería de sobra. Si están por Rio de Janeiro, no se lo pierdan.

Nada que reprochar, todo salió como estaba planteado. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. Que incluya asistencia durante el embarque en Italiano, inglés, español y francés te saca un problema de encima. Nos avisaron de un cambio de horario con tiempo suficiente.

Positivo en general, con margen de mejora. La parada en Vea el Venecia fue lo que más nos gustó. Salió todo en horario, sin sobresaltos. El guía cumplió, sin ser memorable. Le falta señalización en el punto de salida, nos costó encontrarlo. Lo recomendaría igual.
