If you don't ride a gondola you didn't go to Venice - If you go through Venice and don't ride a gondola you weren't in the city something very nice unique experience as it is possible to see from inside a complete city surrounded by water how many beautiful views from the gondola you can see how much history of the city told by the boy who carried the gondola very knowledgeable of the history of the city answered kindly every question I asked him something expensive for so little time but it is worth

Great experience! - Well worth the extra cost to add a singer! He was excellent and very entertaining! It was a highlight of our Venice trip! However, if you want a peaceful, romantic gondola ride this was not it.

Nov. 2024 - Gondola ride was amazing! Lunch at Illy Cafe was fantastic. The only issue was that the Cafe was not aware that our tour ticket included lunch at their restaurant. Staff quickly figured out what they needed to provide for our lunch, and all went well.

Venice the menace - We were 6 people , so we got separated 4-2 😞.my package had a snack/coffee break included , did not get that and when I asked they said you have to go on your own and did not give more information on how to claim the free snacks / coffee even though it was paid for. Then water was backed up and there was full of water everywhere St.Mark Square and all the side streets and horrible sewer smell everywhere.(July 2nd). I know It’s not your fault but the city should have plan B when the water rises like this .

Now 90 euros - I don’t know when they raised their prices but expect 90 euros during the day instead of 80. But it was an experience that must be tried in Venice. There wasn’t much commentary or verbal exchange with our gondolier. We chose a gondola on a side bridge vs San Marco plaza. The gondola fit 4 people comfortably. If you are a group of 4 or 6, don’t sign up for a per person tour. Just grab one that is waiting to get the gondola all to yourselves

15 minute ride 😠 - The ride was to be 30 minutes - per the website description. We walked from the meeting point to the gondolas and by the time we got on the gondola 15 minutes had past. Our ride was only 15 minutes long - very misleading and disappointing. Would not recommend this experience thru this agency.

GONDOLA FROM RIO DEL PALAZZO - We had a gondola ride from a pick up/ drop.off on the rio del palazzo near the 3 bridges. See photo for location. It was supposed to be a 1 hour trip. Trip was at best 35 - 40mins. We paid extra for a longer trip. Dont get caught out like we did.

Terrible and Rude - The instructions are not clear. We could not find meeting point, when we finally found through the friendly kiosk operator, we were 30 seconds late. He said they just left and called the agent. Agent said nothing doing - she can’t help if we could not see the meeting point
