From the guide

Imagine a private gondola ride and photoshoot in the most romantic city in the world. We will walk and take unforgettable pictures in the most iconic but also less known corners of Venice.

We will meet in St. Mark's Square, the iconic "piazza" of Venice which offers one among the most evocative views of Venice over the lagoon and some of its more famous sights, such as the Basilica and the Doge's Palace. After some pictures here, we will move and get deeper into a residential area of Venice, where locals still live their everyday life. We will have a stroll in the sestiere of Castello, rich of picturesque corners perfect for photo shooting.
We Will then get on a personal gondola and have a 30 minute private gondola ride to enjoy Venice from the water.

The tour includes 70 digital pictures will be professionally edited and sent via We Transfer within 3-4 days after the tour.
