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!

Did not feel it was worth the money. Gondolier talked on his mobile phone for almost the whole trip.

Good experience on Gondola. 30 mins go by fast for the price paid, it is certainly an expensive ride. Our Gondolier is great, he was very skillfull, going around tight corners in the narrow river lanes. I'd highly recommend this for the beautiful views and experience.

Although it was a bit difficult for us to get to the meeting point, there was a guide who later took us to the starting point. The gondolier was very friendly and entertained us with anecdotes and comments about Venice since the gondola was exclusively for the four of us.

What an amazing experience! Definitely worth it doing a private ride. I had my elderly mother (65), young son (8), teenage daughter (16), and myself and we all had a great time. Venice is GORGEOUS!!

the ride itself was excellent, however the driver spent the entire trip on the phone, talking to us very little. Also the "Meeting place" is the tour company office which was a 15 minute walk from the actual launch and you have to exchange your voucher for one of theirs. Luckily we stopped by 2 hours early to be sure we were at the right place.

It is the first time that I take this kind of tours and I am delighted with the service. Arriving at the agency we asked for favor if they changed the schedule because it was raining and we did not want to lose the experience of getting on the gondola and the attention was immediate. When we were on our way to the gondola we were given a brief explanation of its origin and the tour was the best, the very friendly gondolier and all the staff, I highly recommend it
