Summary

In a city without streets, boats reign supreme. The locals may prefer motors, but everyone must experience Venice by gondola at least once.

This unique experience is simply begging for a perfect snapshot. Thankfully, you'll have more than enough room for a selfie with just five other passengers on board (including the gondolier). Prepare to receive some envious looks on this journey. Many tourists are willing to pay a hefty sum for a short gondola ride, while you'll be cruising over the water for a fraction of the cost.

Description

Within a city devoid of roads, boats are the primary mode of transportation. While residents may prefer motorboats, it is essential for all to have the experience of exploring Venice via gondola at least once. Lean back, relax, and let go of your worries as your gondolier in striped shirt smoothly navigates you through a network of canals, eventually leading you to the main Grand Canal.

This unique opportunity requires nothing less than a flawless photograph. Fortunately, with only five additional individuals onboard (in addition to the gondolier), you'll have plenty of room to take a selfie.

It wouldn't be unexpected if you receive some jealous looks during this journey. Many visitors happily spend a hundred dollars for a brief gondola ride, whereas you'll be cruising over the water for next to nothing. But that's just between us... shhh!

It is essential to experience La Serenissima.
