... Haggling is something you should be good at when dealing with the gondoliers, and if that is not the case, you are best to book your trip through a travel agent.

Gondoliers have spent time in learning the techniques of controlling their boat and a great deal of money has been put into each vessel. A Venetian law is that every gondolier must be born in Venice to be able to take part in this type of career. There are variety of excursions that one can take while in Venice which are usually readily available and the gondoliers can be found at many places along the Grand Canal.

If money is not a problem, a gondola trip down the Grand Canal is definitely worth it and will be a very memorable part of your trip to Venice, Italy.
