My boyfriend and I are traveling to Italy soon and one of our stops is Venice. Does anyone have any recommendations as to gondola boatyards or workshops that allow visitors or have tours? Thank you!

You could arrange a visit to the Squero di San Trovaso (http://www.squerosantrovaso.com/visita.html). They provide a email for arranging a tour.

Squero di San Trovaso is also a good view over the little canal when having some of the best cicchetti in the town, leaning on the wall on the other side of the canal. Good simple food, canal view, Squero view - what's not to love?

I just want to update that we did get a tour of Squero di San Tovaso. It was really interesting and it was just us and one other family, so we were able to ask lots of questions. It was very easy to set up via email through their website. Thanks for recommending them!
