Hala says
The price is fixed by the city: €90 for thirty minutes, €110 after 7 p.m., for up to six people. Do it once, on the small inner canals where the boats barely pass, not the chaotic loop in front of San Marco. Find a stand in San Polo (San Tomà) or Cannaregio (Santa Sofia traghetto). Ask the gondolier to take you into the rii, the narrow back canals, and skip the singing add-on (€40 extra and aggressively cheesy).
Good to know
- Neighborhood — Avoid San Marco stands · try San Tomà or Santa Sofia
