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.

Our guide Emma was so friendly and enthusiastic about her city. The experience included a short walk and talk as Emma gave us some history of gondolas. The gondola ride was lovely and cheaper than hiring a private ride.

Our gondolier Alvise Marco was fantastic! He was very engaging & funny. I highly recommend this ride. We went down some side canal & ended in the Grand Canal. Stay for the virtual tour of Venice that is offered after the ride.
