The gondola right was just perfect. Not too short, not too long, just right. The view in the Grand Canal is superb, and the narrow canals that the ride takes you through is quiet and calm. It was off season so not crowded, and the price was great. I booked last minute because wasn't sure of the weather, it had been raining all morning, but the weather held up and we had a super ride.

We had gondola ride of grand canal. Our guide was such a lovely girl I think her name was Emma took us a walk round parts of Venice then we had our gondola ride which was lovely very picturesque. Only negative I have is when we were on our gondola the young fella was talking on his phone for most of it.

Very good for the price it is, opposite of maybe the 100€ that ask you the private gongoliers, here you get probably the same experience for not even half the price. Plus in the end you get VR tour of how was Venice back in the days for free, so what can you ask more for? I definitely recommend this tour.

The time in the gondola is quite short, it's a shame and our gondolier didn't have the typical outfit but the ride is nice. In addition, the initial visit in the streets of Venice with the guide and the experience with the virtual reality headset was rather nice
