Good to know

All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible

For the comfort of all guests, it is best to have 1 licensed guide per maximum of 25 people during the walking tour.

Gondoliers do not approve of visitors eating or drinking in their gondolas. It is also not advisable to ask them to perform a serenade without a prior agreement and an additional fee.

Guided tours inside the churches during mass and special events (such as scheduled concerts) are limited, therefore the guide may provide all information outside.

Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller

Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap

Live commentary during the gondola ride will be provided in English and Italian. Audio guide is available in 7 languages: Spanish, German, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, French and Hindi via a mobile app. Please bring your phone and headphones.

On certain dates, most travelers staying outside of Venice who are planning to visit for the day will be required to pay a €5 access fee. For further details (including exemptions) and to learn what days this fee is applicable, please visit: https://cda.ve.it

Please check your email the day before the tour for important information.

Public transportation options are available nearby

The 2,5- and 3,5-hour options include tickets for a 30-minute shared gondola ride. You should reserve 1 hour for this experience as it includes a short introduction to the history of gondolas in Venice.

The gondola ride is a separate attraction from the walking tour and your Private Guide will not participate in it. They will escort you to the gondola and provide all necessary information. It is not a private ride, so other people will join you. Each gondola can host a maximum of 6 people. Random seating will be arranged by the gondolier.

Transportation options are wheelchair accessible

We recommend bringing an umbrella for your gondola ride to hide from the rain or strong sunshine.
