What we work through with you

1. Your date and who is joining

   Tell us the date you want and who is coming, with children’s ages and any access or food needs, so we can check suitability with the operator.

2. The practical arrangements

   We check available times, the meeting point, transport if listed and the operator’s requirements. Optional extras are confirmed separately.

3. Your written quote

   Review the final arrangements, total price, inclusions and payment and cancellation terms before booking. An enquiry does not reserve this trip.

The plan as the operator runs it. Start times and pickup are confirmed for your date.

1. Step 01

   The Afternoon

   A shared gondola for five, boarding from a side canal near the Rialto rather than the Grand Canal, which is the difference between drifting through quiet water between buildings and queuing in traffic. Roughly thirty minutes through the back canals of San Polo and San Marco, under bridges low enough to duck for, past water doors and peeling brick that has been wet for six hundred years. Then across to St Mark's on foot for timed entry to the basilica, which skips the queue that wraps around the square. Inside, the whole ceiling is gold mosaic laid over eight centuries, around eight thousand square metres of it, and the Pala d'Oro behind the altar is an altarpiece of gold and enamel set with a few thousand gems. The square and the campanile are outside afterwards, and both are free to stand in for as long as you like.
