A must in Venice! I didn't book this days in advance and ended up regretting it as the available spots were limited with short notice, so I would recommend to book ahead of time.

Expected more. It was a beautiful ride however it was very short, no more than 20 min. Walked in large group over to gondola boarding area. Then it was like boarding a Disney ride. If you’re looking for a romantic gondola don’t book this. There are gondolas all over the city! And you can ride privately. When you book with this they try to fill the gondola which holds 5 people

Our gondaleer sang songs and gave some sightseeing tips. Great route as well. Pretty city, loved our breakfast and supper and walk around Venice.

It was fun and happy and a real experience, it was our first time on a gondola and Venice is the only place to do it.

This service neglects to tell you that out of the 40 minute trip, 30 mins is a walking tour through the narrow streets of Venice. Then the actual gondola ride is roughly 5 mins and the app to “guide” you about what you’re seeing doesn’t work and you don’t actually go past any of the things the say you’ll go past. This is the back alley water ways with nothing to see but old broken back buildings for 5 mins.

The tour stated it was a 30 minute Gondola ride. In truth it was about 13 minutes waiting while they checked everyone in and divided us into groups, while the actual ride lasted 17 minutes. We bought a night time ride from a separate company and paid less for a full 30 minutes.

We were told that you just have to do a Gondola ride while visiting Venice and they were right. It’s a must do and a very special experience. A memory for life

This booking was a joke. The ride lasted about 15 minutes, half of which were along the grand canal and then one loop through local canals and back. We spent more time waiting to board than we spent onboard.

When in Venice you have to ride on a gondola. The ride was great and the pilot was able to navigate the waters well. Finding the boarding area was a bit difficult but manageable as Venice is not that big. Seating was good for the 2 people who sit in the back, but the others have a cushion to sit on on the side of the boat facing either port or starboard. Overall it was a good time and I would recommend it.

Beautiful ride down different waterways (quiet and then grand canal). Our gondolier sang quietly and added to the experience.
