Where in the World to Book Shore Excursions With a Gondola Ride: the Best

1.Grand Venice: Luxury Shore Excursion with Gondola from Ravenna

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 3 reviews · from $608Our pick

From Ravenna’s cruise port, your private driver takes you to Venice for a guided walk through San Rocco, the Frari, Rialto, and St. Mark’s Square. You’ll see the Basilica and Doge’s Palace from outside, then enjoy a private gondola ride for up to five people. Guide Elena is especially praised, though the long drive leaves limited time in Venice.

“Our guide was excellent. Great to see so much of Venice from the water and partake in the local culture.”
