beautiful evening ride on the gran canal

Reviewed by: Julie Gonzalez, 2018/04/23

Excellent we choose a good time as the canal was less busy and the godolier was unhurried and gave us a little longer ride.

This was such a peaceful wat to enjoy the canals of Venice. The voucher was quite easy to use. Our gondlier was quite informative with a good command of the English language. Yes, this is expensive, but worth every penny!

35 minute private evening Gondola ride

Reviewed by: Denise Hilton, 2017/09/23

This was my first experience with Veltra.
The day we arrived in Venice I just wanted to keep the day light after a long flight.
Dinner, fine wine and a Gondola ride.
I searched many sites and only Veltra had private evening rides. You must click the drop down for more times on the day you choose.
I booked 7:30 pm as the sun was setting and the waterways were quiet and calm. You can choose with or without serenade
We chose the latter.
They emailed me straight away with confirmation.
The evening was so romantic and perfect
thanks to Veltra!
They have tours worldwide and I feel they beat the popular competitior.
A great site Veltra.com will definitely use them again!

Starting just in front if HRC ,gliding over the small canals to arrive on the grand canal ,just 10 metres next to the Rialto bridge, follow the grand canal for a while to enter the small canals again to arrive back at the starting point.

The best part about 2-days trip to Venice. Without it, it would be average trip but gondola ride made it magical.

Gondola ride was a highlight. A must do. Our gondolier was friendly and the ride lasted 35 minutes. We arrived 45 minutes early and were hoping we could take the ride straight away and we were very pleased that they were happy to do this. A great experience.

It was our first time in Venice so of course we wanted to ride a gondola. Booking online and in advance was great as we didn't loose time in Venice comparing prices and itineraries. We discovered some small and hidden canals and also ride the Grand Canal enjoying views of the Rialto Bridge. An unforgettable experience!

A must do in Venice, we loved it and it was certainly worth paying for a private gondola ride! We have recommended this to our friends who are travelling to Venice.

A great experience. The quiet canals were the stars of the trip. While the Grand Canal is a must do it is a busy waterway - just like any city's main thoroughfare - the tranquility of the smaller canals were just so peaceful. You soon forget that you are in a gondola convoy; and to have the gondola to ourselves, as opposed to being crammed in with another 4 complete strangers added so much to our enjoyment of the whole experience. Definitely one for the romantics.

The only downside was a misunderstanding with the hours available. Your website indicated that we could enjoy a sunset trip. I tried to book this and received no response. When I telephoned the helpline I was assured the booking would be faxed to my hotel. The people there did not know why my booking had not been processed! I had planned the trip as a surprise for my wife, and planned to take her to the gondola embarkation before telling her what had been booked. As it was I had to recruit the excellent concierge at the hotel to assist in obtaining the booking form. I was unable to keep the trip to myself as a consequence.

That apart, it was a marvelous experience.

Gondolier was very knowledgeable & friendly.

It would have been complete if he could serenade in songs as well !
