A Venetian born photographer walks you for an hour through quiet corners and St Mark's, then shoots half an hour in a gondola, with sixty five retouched photos sent the same day, priced per group. The gondola hire itself is paid separately at the fixed city rate, and day visitors may owe the access fee. 4.99 from 95 reviews for 1h 30m.
I'm one of the very few photographers born and raised in Venice. The photos you see on my profile were taken by me (avoid annoying foreign companies that send you a random novice photographer, advertising photos of other photographers).
Being born and raised in Venice (for generations), I will take you to discover the most beautiful and hidden corners of the most unique city in the world. After our hour of photography through the narrow streets and canals, Piazza San Marco, and the Rialto Bridge, we'll go on a gondola ride together (a private ride reserved just for you), where you can be photographed among the small canals and bridges that make this city unique.
My service is high-quality (I've been published three times in National Geographic and have exhibited my photos in Milan, New York, London, and Paris),
which is why I only work early in the morning, as the light is perfect and there are no tourists. You'll have a unique and unforgettable memory of your trip.
Please remember that gondola cost 90 euro (which you will pay to the driver in cash)
