  • Well, obviously this is one of those one-time only experiences. And it is actually worth your money when you find a good deal.

    At Least Do This: So before you hop into one, just bargain and decide on what route to take. Depending on the size of the gondola, a 45-min tour incl. Grand Canale should not be more than 10-20 Euros per person for a 6-person ride.

    Here is a fare guide which you can use as a reference when you are making a deal.
    Alternative: Well, I suppose you could take one of the vaporettos that travel up the Grand Canale - it's cheaper, but you won't sail through the other streets this way...

     I was also like you... never thought Venice could be as nice as we believe it to be. Now you have piqued my interest to visit Venice one day!

     Also thinking about visiting Venice this September. Can you recommend staying in Lido di Jesolo? It seems so much cheaper!
