# Private Photoshoot on Personal Gondola in Venice

**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 (table below).

## Overview

Immortalize your time in Venice with this photoshoot in an iconic gondola. Relax as your photographer snaps photos as you sail the city's waterways with your family, friends, or on your own. Receive your photos within 48 hours of your photoshoot.

Meet outside Cafe Florian and be led around San Marco before embarking upon a gondola journey through the canals. After your ride, you'll spend more time on land for some final shots! 

Ensuring that every laugh, every smile, and every loving glance is preserved in a natural and unposed manner. Be guided to the best locations for your photoshoot by someone who has an intimate knowledge of Venice's most charming spots.

Embrace the canals, the bridges, and the magic and avoid letting these precious memories fade away with blurry selfies. After the photoshoot, a skilled editing team meticulously refines each image, enhancing the colors, contrasts, and details, while preserving the authenticity of the moment.

You'll never forget this moment!

**Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point
