About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Canal Grande, 30100 Venice Italy
“The most beautiful road in the world”, this is how the Grand Canal is known as. Gondola serenades have always been part of Venetian culture, an unchanged tradition for an unchageable city. If you look around, what you will see is almost exactly what a nobleman in the 18th century might have looked upon, and before him a Renaissance courtesan and before him a merchant in the Middle Ages.
Duration: 30 minutes
Pass By: Teatro La Fenice, Campo San Fantin San Marco 1965, 30124 Venice Italy
Once one of 7 major theatres in the city, today the Fenice is Venice’s one and only opera house. It is surely a jewel among European theatres, and began to shine from the beginning, as the best composers of the age wrote and performed their operas here, among which Bellini, Donizetti and Rossini. But it was Giuseppe Verdi who is most attached to the Fenice and to Venetian memory.
Pass By: Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Just East Accademia Along Gran Canal, 30123 Venice Italy
Peggy Guggenheim Collection, one of the most important art collections in the world. Peggy Guggenheim, originally from New York, arrived in Venice in 1949 and began to satisfy art addiction buying this wonderful building where she displayed invaluable artworks to the world. The beautiful terrace you see is where Guggenheim sun-bathed regularly looking onto the Grand Canal.
Stop At: Chiesa di Santa Maria del Giglio (Zobenigo), Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, 2542, 30124 Venice Italy
Enjoy a private dinner in a typical Venetian restaurant: dinner with three courses.
Duration: 2 hours

We opted for the Gondola ride with Singers - the 2 gentlemen who sang to us were friendly and extremely entertaining. Certainly the best way to experience a Gondola Ride. The restaurant however was very disappointing - the starters on offer are delicious however the mains on offer leave much to be desired - the food was bland and not very "Italian". The service on arrival at the restaurant was poor and the waiter who originally served us was very abrupt - luckily someone else took over our table. Viator should really look at better menu options on this package for the mains.
