Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Campanile di San Marco, Sestiere San Marco 328, 30124 Venice Italy
The meeting point is at Campanile di San Marco (photo).
.
A local guide will be waiting for you there, and he will accompany you to the gondola station at the scheduled time.
Pass By: Chiesa di Santa Maria del Giglio (Zobenigo), Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, 2542, 30124 Venice Italy
--- Arrival at the Gondola Station ---
.
The assistant will help you to take a seat on the gondola, and after a wish of fun, he will entrust you in the hands of your Pope.
.
What is a Pope?
.
It is the name in dialect used by the Venetians to call the Gondolier.
Pass By: Chiesa di Santa Maria del Giglio (Zobenigo), Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, 2542, 30124 Venice Italy
--- And off we go! ---
.
One never forgets the thrill of climbing in a gondola for the first time...
.
The feeling of leaving the safe mainland to climb into a small rickety wooden boat, creates a mixture of excitement and amazement.
.
When the Gondolier "springs" the ropes and pushes himself from the poles to get away from the shore, he feels a sensation that is as strange as it is beautiful.
.
You feel yourself sliding on the water, caressing it, and your view of the world around suddenly changes.
Pass By: Canal Grande, 30100 Venice Italy
The Grand Canal is the 3800-meter long canal that divides the city into two parts.
.
To show off the wealth of the Venetian Republic, over time the Doges have built magnificent structures along the way.
.
Just think that to see it all in a gondola, it would take at least two hours.
.
Cradled by the waves, you will feel small in front of these majestic and magnificent buildings.
Pass By: Ponte Maria Callas, Fondamenta Maria Callas, 30100 Venice Italy
---The Hidden Venice.---
After seeing one of the most beautiful pieces of the Grand Canal, it's up to the smaller canals.
.
Those less famous ... but very typical, picturesque, and just as rich in history.
.
The Gondolier veers the boat decisively, and introduces himself into one of these.
.
Here you will see with your own eyes, the great dexterity necessary to maneuver a gondola in tight spaces.
.
So tight that by extending your hand, you can touch the walls of the buildings around you.
.
You will be left speechless many times along the way ...
It will seem impossible for you that the Gondolier can do what you will see him do.
.
You will pass under three small bridges, and you will experience how beautiful it is to navigate the small Venetian canals.
.
The calm and peaceful silence ... alternating with the loud shouting of the gondoliers, who, speaking in dialect, coordinate with each other.
.
There are no traffic lights in Venice...
.
Everything works as it used to a long time ago, and it works perfectly.
Pass By: Chiesa di Santa Maria del Giglio (Zobenigo), Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, 2542, 30124 Venice Italy
---The Return---
.
After completing the tour in the smaller canals, you will end up back on the Grand Canal for one last breathtaking show ...
.
The great beauty of the Church of La Salute and the San Marco Basin, on your left.
.
The majestic view of the Grand Canal up to the Accademia Bridge, on your right.
.
The Gondolier makes a spectacular and complex maneuver and takes you back to the starting station.
.
The trip ends after 30 minutes.
.
The Gondolier helps you get off the gondola, and you can continue to enjoy Venice happy from the beautiful experience.
.
Experience that will remain etched in you forever ...
.
When you talk about Venice with friends and relatives, you can proudly say:
.
I've been in a gondola!
