Transportation to the activity was us walking there, and that was fine! Google maps came in very handy with the winding walkways and narrow alleyways. Our tour guide was very pleasant and told us a little bit about the history of the city and the special sights to take note of.

Everything was perfect. The guide Francesco was very knowledgeable and also funny. He made us discover places that we would never have seen on our own. The gondola ride was beautiful with explanations of the places along the way. We highly recommend it.

Definitely enjoyed it. A little pricey for us Canadians unfortunately but I would say it was worth it for once in a lifetime experience like that in Venice. A dinner was a nice touch.

Excellent activity, pre-booking meant doing away with the stress of not knowing where to go or what to do. However there were cheaper gondoliers readily available!

Great to experience a gondola ride in Venice. The skills of the gondolier was remarkable - they can turn those boats on a pinpoint. We accessed the gondola at a very busy station - at times it felt a little ‘cattle market’ with a lot of people being directed into different boats. Once off the grand canal it was peaceful to glide down smaller canals however it was VERY busy.

The experience was overall good. The guide was good however there could have been more chit chat as we walked / it was walk walk talk etc. The gondola ride was fun & that guide was great!! If you are a couple do take the gondola alone otherwise you sit sideways. Not quite the same experience.
