from the right perspective, the water line.
So, get ready for an unforgettable ride in
the narrow canals of a city that has
existed for more than 1,200 years
.
This boat, the gondola, is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic images of Venice and one of the most recognisable icons in the world. In the past it was the symbol of elegance and extravagance, why almost every king in Europe wanted gondolas in the lakes and canals of their palaces.
For our gondola excursion, we have chosen
a special route that runs along part of the Canal Grande
, the most elegant avenue in the city. But we will
also
enter the small c
anals
, of which many are only accessible by boat. In these narrow straits, we will get the best opportunity to see the gondolier, in his traditional uniform, demonstrate his skills to navigate the vessel around sharp corners and under beautiful bridges.

gondolas will be accompanied by musicians
who with their traditional songs will create the soundtrack for your visit to Venice. -Excursion accompanied by an Europamundo guide until the starting point of the cruise.
