Description
Explore Venice through a peaceful gondola ride and one of its symbols: The St Mark's Basilica.
Enjoy a guided visit to one among the most renowned and amazing cathedrals in the world: The St Mark's Basilica
This is the place where Eastern and Western architecture run into each other, as majestic in its exteriors, as reach in the history it witnessed and represents.
Here, we will learn more about the everlasting history of Venice, about St Mark and how his ruins came to rest and be shielded here.
A tour not only to see Venice, but to experience this city through its history and glorious past, still shining in its historical sites and legendary characters.
Surrounded by the Basilica’s beautiful golden mosaics and marble inlays, our professional guide will take us along the history and the special features of this unique masterpiece of byzantine art.
Then, discover Venice as locals have been doing since far back in time, sliding among the narrow canals and admiring the masterpiece of architectures, water reflections and peace away from the crowded alleys.
During this ride, you will have the chance to admire some among Venice's most famous and beautiful sites seen from the water, a rare sight which can be seen only on a gondola. And be ready for the last part of the ride, because it is the one that sees the gondola flowing into the Grand Canal, revealing breathtaking views over the most famous canal of Venice and over the Salute Church.
Please note that it is a shared gondola (up to 5 people for each one) so the gondola might be shared with other people.

We came away delighted. The driver drove carefully the whole way. Seeing a bit of Venecia Teniente Luis Candelaria on the way was a bonus. Very tight on timings. They dropped us at Venecia Teniente Luis Candelaria with no detours. We paid noticeably less than other options and the experience was just as good.

Nos sorprendió para bien. Muy buen guía, atento con todo el grupo y con paciencia infinita. Nos tocó un día despejado en Basilica’s y fue una suerte enorme. Por el precio que pagamos, la verdad que rinde muchísimo. El entrada a la Basílica llegó justo cuando lo necesitábamos. No lo dudes, reservalo.

Impecable
Realmente valió cada peso. Conocer un poco de Veneza en el camino fue un plus. Nos pasaron toda la información por mail el día anterior, muy claro. Lo que no me gustó tanto fue la parada final, medio apurada. Totalmente recomendado.

Contratamos esto casi sin expectativas y terminó siendo lo más lindo del viaje. Muy buen guía, atento con todo el grupo y con paciencia infinita. Me quedé con las ganas de más tiempo en Basílica de San Marcos. De lo mejor que contratamos por internet.

Amazing day
The kind of thing you still remember years later. Great for a first visit to the city. 25/30 min. shared gondola ride was a surprise, it was not on our list. The guide knew exactly what to include, it never dragged. The departure point needs better signage, we struggled to find it.

Buena opción para conocer Venecia. El chofer manejó con mucho cuidado todo el trayecto. Muy buena relación precio calidad. Nos cambiaron el vehículo asignado sin avisar. Igual lo volvería a hacer.
