After our downer of a last video, we decided to lighten things up and loosen our purse strings a little and take a world famous gondola ride in Venice. We chose to do a shared gondola ride through a tour group and it was awesome. We also balanced out our day of spending by finding the best free thing to do in Venice--which also happens to get you the BEST view in all of Venice!

My wife & I were last in Venice (& Europe) 25 years ago. We were college students & broke. This was our honeymoon trip, gifted by our parents. Decided to do a month long packaged tour of 6 countries instead of having a big wedding. Best decision ever. Were on a budget but managed to see what we wanted & splurged on the excursion & some nice meals. The experience & memories are priceless. A honeymoon is only once, right? Like everyone has said, try not to stress. Good to see you guys smiling. Enjoy your trip, be flexible & stay safe.

That’s awesome! Truer words have never been spoken. We are lucky beyond measure, we are having the best time and will continue to for sure. Honeymoon>>big wedding, we hear that!! :)

I love all your videos, but especially loved loved this one as I was in Venice a month ago - July 2023. So wonderful to see it again through your eyes. Venice is my most favourite place ever. Incredibly beautiful. Your video was wonderful. I love how you include out takes and bloopers at the end. So funny and cute. Thanks for your awesome videos. xx

Thank you guys for being so open and transparent. It really helps others like us who are also traveling full time. Really happy you rocked the budget a bit to go on a gondola ride. We are from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the "Venice of America" but we're sure our canals are nothing compared to the real thing!

I know a lot of people think that gondola's tours are expensive, which I thought too before I had my own trip: I think sitting on the gondola and sliding on the water surrounded by old decadent buildings it's the real Venice experience, something you don't get from the bigger boats crossing the canal or from land. Besides where the gondola goes you cannot go with normal boats because it's not deep enough, so you go through the "rii" (the narrow waterways are called rii (plural) and rio (singular) basically only by gondola. I have to say I love your approach to travelling, you are not rushing from one place to another trying to see as much as possible, instead you sit and let the scenery affects you, which is very Italian I must say. With this approach Italy is the perfect place for budget travelling because if you just deviate from the few most famous cities you have plenty of smaller cities with a lot to see for free or very little price, decent B&B, great food. You can enjoy the changing landscape and architecture from all eras. I know I sound parochialist, what can I say, I am just proud of my country and I find silly that most of tourists have such "fast" attitude . By the way, not sure it may interests you, there is a channel of an Italian couple, travelling on a budget like you, their videos are in English, and maybe some info might get useful to you too. If you wish check them out: "LeAw-Leave everything and wander"! I vote for their latest videos of my region "We Found Paradise" and "Unspoiled Tuscany Val d'Orcia" and "Cascate del Mulino Saturnia". Enjoy!

@LisaAndJosh 2 года назад

We LOVE leave everything and wander - we watched SO many of their videos while we were building our camper van. They're quite inspirational for us I love all this advice, and how proud you are of Italy. We had such a great time, and definitely wish we had slowed down even further :)

In Venice you can eat well for € 15/18 € just skip the tourist spots and look carefully at the prices 😉 Also take a look at some places like 'Scuola Grande di San Rocco' 'Chiesa dei Frari' for example, they deserve it. Have a good holiday ! (Venetian here)

@rosannathomson1008 3 года назад

Nothing beats a private gondola ride in autumn at sunset going under the bridge of sighs. A bit more pricey than your experience, but if you do a once or twice in a lifetime thing, you'd want it as memorable as possible.

@LisaAndJosh 3 года назад

For sure :) I've never been to Venice in autumn, have to try that out next time.

Did the gondola ride is the shared tour? Or private tour? Love your video! Glad I found you guys as I’m planning my trip to Italy in the fall coming up, Venice is intimidating as it’s so pricy and boat rides can be confusing! But totally unique experience! Thank you again for sharing your experience traveling in Venice🙏🌺

@claudiofoiadelli8721 2 года назад

ottimo video. La descrizione dell'attività del gondoliere mi è molto piaciuta. In genere le persone si lamentano del costo di un giro in gondola. Tu ti sei informato e hai approfondito l'argomento e hai fornito delle informazioni sulle difficoltà necessarie per questo lavoro. A questo aggiungo che è sempre un lavoro difficile e impegnativo. Per il turista si tratta di una mezz'ora per loro è una giornata, e poi il giorno dopo, e ancora un'altro giorno...................... 🤢

Yep exactly! It takes so much practice, just as much art and science matched with skill... what a beautiful profession.

Try La trattoria Storica besides Chiesa di Santa Maria ✝️🛐 Just across the little bridge of Rio de Santa Caterina!

@ivesnting 3 года назад

Great Video, I am wondering the recent news saying that people will need to get green pass to do all sorts activities in italy now. And, i am wondering how we can get it as foreigner?

@LisaAndJosh 3 года назад

As of right now, that green pass is just for residents of the EU, and we haven't yet seen any evidence of anyone using it, or it being required anywhere. Very likely in the near future, uploading your COVID vaccination record to an app to travel around the EU will be required for some countries and restaurants for foreigners, but there's no official information yet. We'll make a video as soon as something is announced.

Hi josh & lisa! I am glad i stumbled on your video. Planning to go to venice on sept for our 25th wedding anniversary. Thank you for sharing the link for the gondola tours. Is it better to purchase the ticket online now or can we get the gondola tour tickets there?

@LisaAndJosh 2 года назад

Hi Evie--we bought our tickets online (but the day before)--that's how we found the shared tour. But there are plenty of tour operators and ways you can buy tickets once you get there too
