1.Romantic Venice: 30 Minute Gondola Ride with Serenade

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 2,742 reviews · 30 minutes (approx.) · from $66Our pick

Join a shared gondola near Piazza Santa Maria del Giglio for about 30 minutes on Venice’s Grand Canal and smaller canals. A singer performs from one boat in the flotilla, while you pass Peggy Guggenheim’s terrace, Accademia Bridge, Santa Maria della Salute, and old palaces.

“Arrived to the meeting spot and it was confirmed that it would be with music and 30 minutes as advertised… the ride lasted no more than 20 minutes and music lasted 5 minutes from another gondola… not worth it.. seemed like the gondola guys wanted to rush and on top of that asked for a tip… LOL”

Venice: Romantic Shared Gondola Serenade on the Grand Canal

2.Romantic Shared Gondola Serenade on the Grand Canal

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 270 reviews · from $55

Meet near San Marco Square for a shared gondola ride through Venice’s smaller canals and part of the Grand Canal. A singer and musician perform from a central gondola, so the music may be at a distance. The experience also includes a Gondola Gallery and virtual reality presentation.

“Loved the gondola ride!! The route was beautiful and we the music was great! The musicians weren't in our gondola but we could always hear it. It's hard to rate the guide since he really didn't say anything but he got the job done. The only small disappointment was that I would have liked to have gone under the Bridge of Sighs. It was also very well organized in getting us all into boats.”

“11/10 would highly recommend to any couple or family wanting professional photos that will actually escape your camera roll and hang on your walls, Christmas cards, etc. My wife and I booked an early morning session right around sunrise when there were no crowds and the lighting was perfect! Our photographer Valentina was very experienced and made us feel comfortable and had many posing ideas. This activity fit well in our busy schedule and we received the photos earlier than expected, and we were really impressed. Great value for the money, we even bought a few extra photos from the extended gallery!”

The tour gave us a flavour of Olbia, Sardinia but didn’t require a lot of walking, perfect because my husband has recently had knee surgery. We enjoyed the tour and were happy to recommend to another couple of cruise passengers as we got out.”

9.Capri: Private Island Boat Tour for Couples

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 127 reviews · from $189

Book a private wooden boat from Capri’s Marina Grande for two to three hours. Your captain, possibly Ciro, Marcello, Antonio, or another local sailor, takes you past the Faraglioni, Natural Arch, Punta Carena Lighthouse, and smaller grottoes, with time to swim and relax.

“We loved our boat ride with Ciro! The team was also very understanding of our late arrival due to a canceled ferry. An overall great experience and an easy way to hit the highlights of Capri from the water. A suggestion for anyone booking this tour or any in Capri - give yourself at least a 45 min window between a ferry arrival and the start of your boat cruise. Ferries can be quite delayed by the time they make several stops.”
