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. **Photos on the water?:** For photos on land and by gondola: 1h 30m with a local photographer at €297 per group/vehicle; gondola hire is extra. 4.99, 95 reviews. Trade-off: Gondola hire extra; photography, not a guided tour. (last checked September 22, 2026) In our comparison: #2 of 17 in Gondola Rides, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview 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) **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €297 per group/vehicle - Duration: 1h 30m - Rating: 4.99/5 from 95 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Beloved Venice - Group: Private tour, your party only - Start times: 08:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-22 ## Reviews 4.99 from 95 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 95 of 95. - 5 stars: 94 (99%) - 4 stars: 1 (1%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the photos, posing guidance and prompt delivery; several recommend an early start to avoid crowds. **Praised:** - Quality photos around the city and during the gondola ride - Clear posing guidance that helps travellers feel comfortable - Quiet photo locations away from the busiest crowds - Prompt delivery of the finished photographs - Helpful communication and clear directions to the meeting point **Complaints:** - No recurring criticism; several reviewers recommend early starts to avoid crowds at photo spots Written by Guidekin from the 79 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2019-10-22 to 2026-09-07); last checked 2026-10-04. ## What's included - Land Photoshooting in differents Area of Venice (1 h) - 65 photos retouched in HD (via email link same day) - photos in gondola (30 min ride) ## Not included - The cost of the gondola rental is not included.
