I struggled with the rating, because we did have a private gondola ride. We paid for a 30 min (could be a 60 min ride depending on Grand Canal traffic) however, our actual ride was 15 minutes. We spoke to onsite management and we were waved away. It was a very expense ride for just 15 minutes. The location was in front of the Hard Rock Cafe.

Marco spoke English very well. He was very knowledgeable being native to Venice. The gondola was very pretty and clean. It was a lovely experience and I would highly recommend this vender.

Andrea, our gondolier was excellent. He pointed out numerous buildings and included the owner/who lived there/who visited there/who died there depending on the building. He was also an excellent navigator as we turned a number of very tight corners, and he was flawless.

I paid for 30 minutes and was back in 20 minutes. It says it goes to the grand canal but it just goes in and out. I don’t understand why they don’t give you at least another 5 minutes there if obviously they can get back on time. I suggest booking from the ones that start at the canal.

Nice gondola cruise around the canals and into the grand canal! Very easy to find location and they accepted the voucher no problems (I was worried as this did not have a huge number of reviews on Viator at the time of booking) but I was pleasantly surprised.

We were lucky, we didn’t book a private gondola ride but ended up being on our own. The gondolier pointed out places of interest and the gondola was lovely. Really enjoyed our ride through the narrow canals, under bridges, including going under the bridge of sighs. We paid €100 which we queried because others had said €80 but we were told the cost also took into account which canals you ride on.

We paid more for the night ride, but the latest was 8 and it was not dark at all by that time. I would suggest just finding a gondolier that you like when you are there and just buying then.

A must do experience in Venice. We had a private gondola but you can also share with others. We went at 7pm which I would recommend as it started to cool down from the hot day. It was relaxing and I wish was a little bit longer. The gondola guide was lovely, telling us some interesting facts along the way and posing in our photos. A lovely memory!
