Venetians are furious after social media influencers exposed a well-kept local secret.
Content creators recently tipped off tourists about the traghetto gondola - a cheap ferry service used by Venice locals to cross the Grand Canal at points where there are no bridges.
The 'traghetto gondola' is a public service provided by the city that allows people to cross the water quickly at points where there are no bridges.
The journey takes just a few minutes and has always cost just two euros for visitors or as little as 70 cents for residents, The Times reports.
For years, the traghetti were used almost exclusively by Venetians.
