Private gondola ride in Venice off the beaten track

Fabio, one of the gondoliers, says, ‘Being a gondolier is so much more than operating a gondola.

You’re really in the safest hands.’ The shortest tour focuses on the San Paolo district. Discover an intimate side of Venice and lesser-known gems. Canal-facing facades are a unique characteristic of Venetian buildings before streets came along – the canals were the streets – and they were a way of showing style and wealth.
