Punctual timetable and meeting point near the starting canal. Friendly gondolier and excellent "guide" who explained to us the buildings we saw passing by or the events that characterized those places. Very nice experience that I recommend to do at least once to everyone

A worker from the company was waiting for us at the meeting point and kindly accompanied us to the starting point of the gondola ride. We shared it with a couple, in total we were 5 people. We liked it so much that we decided to take a second gondola ride. Venice is beautiful, spectacular from the Grand Canal.
