Description (350 words max in 3 to 5 paragraphs)

Your Private Evening Gondola Ride Venice starts from the picturesque square of Campo San Giacometto where you will meet your local guide. This square is home to the oldest church in Venetian history, dating back to 421 AD. This continues to be a bustling part of the city and where Venetians come to buy fresh groceries at the nearby fresh food market, the Rialto Market, located next to the Grand Canal.

This area gave the name to the famous Rialto Bridge, known for its unique architecture due to the nearby market. Your LivTours private guide will give you more details during your tour as you stroll across this iconic bridge to discover other parts of the city.

You will continue your stroll in the calmer evening air of Venice, through the small streets without the daunting crowds, and walk across the charming bridges and discover hidden piazzas. Your guide will make plenty of stops along the way to tell you more about this city’s history, its anecdotes and, of course, to allow you to take as many photos as you please.

On this tour, you will reach the heart of the political and religious center of Venice, Saint Mark’s square. Reaching this beautiful square at this time of the early evening allows you to admire the Basilica of Saint Mark completely lit, along with the Bell Tower and the Doge’s Palace. Surely an unforgettable moment as your guide shares with you the stories and history of the buildings that surround you.

Just a stone’s throw away a gondola is waiting to take you on a peaceful and romantic ride through the canals. Your LivTours private guide will make sure you are comfortable and take some photos of you in the gondola before waving you off. For 30 minutes you will enjoy the gentle and very classical way to see Venice, from its narrow canals!
