All of the gondoliers are fun and amazing to take the trip with. I’ve heard of some people saying trey were rude or inattentive or not very helpful and it couldn’t be further from the truth. Had a great time and learned a lot.

Il tour è durato 30 minuti, siamo arrivati prima e sono stati gentili nel non farci aspettare e siamo partiti subito. Il gondoliere è stato simpatico, disponibile nel dare informazioni. Super consigliato
