The art of building a gondola

To build a gondola, you need several artisans, all engaged in different technical aspects in regards to this very true icon of Venice. You will visit a workshop where oars and rowlocks are built, a gondola yard where gondolas are built and maintained and finally a blacksmith’s lab where the metal parts are shaped. The tour includes a lovely walking tour in the district of Dorsoduro.
