Tours and Tickets by Real Venetian Row
Overview
They’re one of the most iconic symbols of Venice: sleek, black gondolas (colorful gondolas are only used for regattas). For hundreds of years, they’ve been a primary mode of transportation around the city, and many gondoliers come from a long family lineage in the profession. On this lively tour from the school of native Venetian and champion rower Gloria Rogliani, you can learn to row like a professional gondolier.

We loved our Venetian gondola rowing experience! Easy enough to learn the basics under the enthusiastic and fun instruction from Francesca and Regina.

Thank You Howard and Denice …

We could have chosen the kayak option, but we opted to go native and try to learn to row like a gondolier! two hours later we a) had an amazing appreciation for what it takes to row a gondola, b) saw parts of the city we never would have otherwise and c) and had a greatly improved tan after two hours out on the water - both canals and the open sea. it was amazing! And Ben and the staff were so welcoming friendly, chatty (we had two hours with them in a boat!) - and to top it off we got vouchers for free beer and sandwiches at the nearby trendy bar... couldn't be better!…
