Guidekin's take

A private gondola with a photographer aboard, framed by shots around St Mark's Square before and after the ride, priced per group with the base tier delivering fifty edited photos within two days.

A proposal tier and a photos plus video tier cost more, and the city's day visitor fee on set dates is yours to pay. 4.78 from 111 reviews at €289 per group/vehicle.

In our comparison: #10 of 17 in Gondola Rides, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
