Admire the evening light on the water, the soft colors of the old buildings, the majestic palaces and the elegant bridges. To make the trip even more special, you and your companions will be serenaded by the gondoliers.
On leaving the gondola, you’ll walk just a short distance to an excellent restaurant, where you’ll complete the experience with a delious dinner.
