FAQ

Quick answers

How much does the gondola cost for a proposal?
The official shared-ride tariff is ~€90 by day and ~€110 in the evening for about 30 minutes. A proposal setup — reserved route, briefed gondolier, photographer on a bridge, flowers waiting — is arranged privately; ours comes as one package with one total. Details in the gondola proposal guide.
Which canal route is best for the proposal?
The quiet side canals of Dorsoduro and Cannaregio for privacy, joining the Grand Canal for the finale — routes we agree with the gondolier so the knee happens exactly where the light and the photographer wait.
Can musicians accompany the gondola?
Yes — a singer and accordionist in a second gondola, or a violinist waiting at a bridge. We time the serenade to swell exactly as the box opens; it’s the most-requested add-on in Venice.
