Venice traffic jam with Gondolers competing for space. Short ride, crowded and bumpy with all the traffic on the Grand Highway. Horribly expensive for a less than 30 minute ride.

Amazing - a must in Venice. The location was easy to find and the gondola ride was fantastic. A very friendly Gondolier. We arrived really early as we were in the area but the Gondoliers said it was no problem and they took us there and then.
