Sure, theres something idyllic about languorously laying back in a Venetian gondola and enjoying the sights from the canals as your Gondolier does all the rowing, but have you ever considered the years of practice it takes to become a master gondolier?
This exclusive, immersive class will show you what it takes to become a novice gondolier. you'll gain insight into the challenging skill the locals make look seamless. During your private tour, a Venetian guide will welcome you onboard a traditional gondola from the 1700s and you'll learn the basic techniques and positions necessary to row a gondola. Once you feel confident, you'll take to the canals and row your own Batellina through the maze of canals and bridges of Venice yourself, while standing! You dont get much more local than that. Celebrate your first rowing lesson with a very well deserved Venetian apritif at the Caneva (rowing pier) to conclude your tour.
Duration: 1.5 hours
