Montez à bord de votre gondole privée et naviguez sur les canaux de Venise. Que vous souhaitiez flâner dans des recoins cachés ou passer sous des ponts et des sites célèbres, cette excursion saura satisfaire tous les goûts. Fabio, l'un des gondoliers, explique : « Être gondolier, c'est bien plus que conduire une gondole. Il faut plus de 400 heures pour obtenir une licence de gondolier et apprendre les tenants et aboutissants des canaux, de l'art et de l'histoire vénitiens. Vous êtes vraiment entre de bonnes mains. » La visite la plus courte se concentre sur le quartier de San Paolo. Découvrez une facette intime de Venise et des trésors méconnus. Les façades donnant sur les canaux sont une caractéristique unique des bâtiments vénitiens avant l'apparition des rues – les canaux étaient les rues – et elles étaient un moyen d'afficher style et richesse. Si vous souhaitez continuer vers le Grand Canal, vous pouvez choisir la visite d'une heure et si vous avez envie de voir les endroits les plus célèbres de Venise, la visite d'une heure et demie présente la zone du pont du Rialto et le trajet le plus long ajoute la place Saint-Marc à l'itinéraire.
