During this pleasant ride you'll float past the La Fenice Theatre and the most charming part of the Grand Canal, where you can see the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the Santa Maria della Salute church and much more.

After your gondola adventure, you'll enjoy a full guided visit of a true masterpiece of Byzantine art, unique of its kind in Italy – St. Mark's Basilica.
