It was charming - Enjoyed an afternoon ride on the canal with another couple visiting Venice. It was a relaxing ride. Enjoyed seeing the buildings from the water. It would have been nice to have a bit of commentary during the ride, either about the city or the history of gondolas in the city.

No Grand Canal!! - First of all, we did not go down the Grand Canal, never touched it. We took back canals through decaying and rotting neighborhoods. Second, Our gondolier spent the entire ride on his cellphone. Nothing more relaxing than listening to someone else’s conversation. I could go on but this should be enough to steer you away from this tour.

Read the fine print - Viator allowed me to make a reservation for a gondola ride for six people yet only five people could go on gondola together. Therefore one person had to go by themselves. This was awful
